Joewah alert: Cup of Joe festival ‘Sandali’ happening this May

The wait is over, Joewahs. SANDALI: The Cup of Joe Fest is scheduled on May 23, 2026, at the Philippine Sports Stadium in Bulacan.

The event,  which is in line with the band's letter ‘S’ theme, is the latest among their  landmark shows namely, Seatbelts On!, Silakbo, and Stardust. 

The band announced,  “We’re doing it together, Joewahs! This night is for everyone who believed, stayed, and loved.”

Cup of Joe will be the first Filipino act to hold a solo concert at the Philippine Sports Stadium, one of the country’s largest indoor venues.

The band's Facebook page teased, "Get ready for one unforgettable summer night of water splashes, lights, and thousands of voices under one sky."

The announcement has generated early interest from fans, who have expressed excitement on social media about attending the festival. 

Some fans even playfully quipped about Sandali by commenting “sandaliii teka,” a Filipino expression meaning “wait,” which may suggest their plan to secure a ticket but they might need more time or funds to do so.

The concert takes its name from the band’s 2025 hit Sandali, a song that was part of the Stardust era and now serves as the centerpiece of the standalone event. Paolo Valenciano, who directed the band’s previous shows at the Araneta Coliseum, will still be at the helm.

The band currently promotes the Stardust era. They performed recently in Singapore last March 8, and their Stardust US tour will have stops at San Francisco on April 24, Los Angeles on April 25, and New York on May 1.

Tickets for the festival range from P1,500 to P7,800, with general sales opening on March 28. Fans can purchase tickets online through TicketNet, SM Tickets, or at official Cup of Joe outlets.

Over the years, Cup of Joe has released several fan-favorite songs, including Multo, Pahina, and Misteryoso.
