The line-up of Filipino-American singer Jessica Sanchez’s concert on May 16, LIVE IN MANILA 2026, has just been revealed.

Wilbros Live announced on social media yesterday that Sanchez's show  will feature a who's who in Philippine music: Regine Velasquez,  Gary Valenciano,  Martin Nievera,  Morissette Amon, Darren Espanto, and  James Reid.

All of them reposted the announcement on their Instagram accounts. Darren reposted with a message of support, writing, “Let's go, Ate,” while Morissette tagged Jessica, writing, “my girl.” Jessica shared the news with the note, “Excited to share the stage with you!”

Earlier, on March 21, the America’s Got Talent Season 20 grand winner posted a short clip of herself performing on stage from previous shows and competitions. 

She wrote, “Manila, I can’t wait to see you! Join me for a very special night at the Araneta Coliseum on May 16 for my concert! It’s going to be a night of music, memories, and celebrating this incredible journey with all of you. Your love and support mean the world to me, and I would be so honored to see you there.”

Sanchez first competed on the first season of America’s Got Talent in 2006 when she was just 10 years old, reaching the semifinals. Nearly two decades later, she returned on the show’s 20th season and finally won. 

In 2012, she competed on American Idol Season 11 and rose to prominence after reaching first runner-up.

The May 16 show will mark Sanchez’s first solo concert in the Philippines since November 2019. She performed but did not topbill at a year-end event in Pasay City last December.
