Joined by siblings Caroline, Sharon, and Jim, Andrea led an electrifying performance featuring hits such as “Forgiven, Not Forgotten,” “White Light,” “Closer” and “Little Wings.”

Filipino fans passionately sang along to favorites “Summer Sunshine,” “What Can I Do,” and “Don't Say You Love Me,” filling the venue with nostalgia and excitement.


Showcasing their musical versatility, the band delivered a stunning instrumental performance, with Andrea on the traditional Irish flute, Caroline on drums, Sharon on violin, and Jim on piano. 

Adding to the night's surprises, they played their 1996 hit song, “Love To Love You.” from their debut album.

“We're going to play a song especially for you tonight. We haven't done this in a while so bear with us,” Andrea teased before launching into the beloved track. 



They followed it up with “All The Love In The World” which had the audience singing their hearts out.

“Maraming salamat!” Andrea said after a loud cheer from the crowd.



From the heartfelt singalongs, The Corrs brought up the energy as they performed “Radio,” “Queen of Hollywood,” “Dreams," and “I Never Loved You Anyway.”

The concert reached a high point with “So Young,” transporting the audience back to 1997 as they danced and sang along together.

“Maraming salamat sa inyong lahat!” Andrea said again in Filipino.

She continued, “You really are so amazing to us. Thank you so so much. We had the best time here and we look forward to seeing you again.”

Closing the last set, the band played their popular song “Runaway,” where they let their fans take over.



“Thank you so much Manila. Good night!” the band said.

As they bid farewell, the crowd erupted in cheers, calling for more.

Answering their fans' passionate requests, The Corrs returned for an encore, performing their massive hit “Breathless.”



Andrea moved the crowd by saying, "Mahal kita, Manila," as fans sang and danced along. The night concluded with a final instrumental piece before the band took their final bow.

On social media, the band shared clips of the audience’s impressive singalongs.

"What a joy listening to the crowd sing 'Runaway' last night in Manila," Caroline wrote in a post.





Singer-songwriter and director Ice Seguerra also posted about the concert, sharing moments with his wife, Liza Diño, and friends Juris Fernandez, Princess Velasco, and Sitti Navarro.

“My teenage heart is so happy. Seeing and hearing them play live again heals my soul in a way I can’t describe. Thank you for being with me on those nights I couldn’t sleep.

"Your music was my constant companion as I navigated my way through love and heartbreaks. Thank you for the songs. I will carry it in my heart forever,” Ice shared in a caption.



With their Manila shows concluded, The Corrs are now set to continue their tour in Australia.
