Bic Runga to Bring Sway Live to Manila for October 1 Skydome Concert

 

Bic Runga Set to Bring Sway to Manila in October

New Zealand singer-songwriter Bic Runga is heading to Manila this October for a live performance at the Skydome, giving Filipino audiences an opportunity to experience the acclaimed artist behind one of the 1990s most enduring alternative pop hits.

The concert, titled Sway: Bic Runga Live in Manila, is scheduled for October 1. Midas Promotions confirmed the event through its social media channels, with additional concert details expected to be released in the coming days.

Runga rose to international prominence through her 1997 single Sway, a song that became closely associated with her breakthrough as a recording artist. Its understated arrangement, intimate vocal delivery, and distinctive songwriting helped establish her reputation beyond her native New Zealand.

More than two decades after its release, Sway continues to serve as a defining piece of Runga's musical identity. Her catalog is marked by a blend of soulful vocals, reflective songwriting, and restrained pop arrangements, qualities that have earned her a lasting following among listeners.

For Filipino fans, the Manila concert will provide a chance to hear Runga perform her signature material in a live setting rather than simply through recordings. The Skydome will serve as the venue for the October 1 show.

Tickets are scheduled to go on sale August 15 through SM Tickets. Midas Promotions is expected to announce further information, including additional event details, as the concert date approaches.

Runga's Manila appearance adds another international act to the local concert calendar, with fans of her music now counting down to an evening centered on the songs that defined her career.
