“Johnoy Danao has undergone so many phases in music, and we’re here to highlight the best of these moments. ...It started with a simple idea — an email asking if the MET, now newly renovated, could host his long-overdue solo concert. Now, it’s becoming a reality, and we’re thrilled to present it in a venue that truly honors his work and legacy,” Conan said.

“We want to offer the audience something different,” Conanan said. “Johnoy, who usually plays as a solo act, will be supported by a full band, and some of his songs will be reimagined in a lush, orchestral setting that will enrich the experience and bring new dimension to his music. The minsan team is also helping with the creative direction of the show, so it’s a collaboration that we’re really looking forward to.”
