Mark your calendars, Doja Cat is about to “Paint The Town Red” in Manila this December 7, 2025, for her first-ever Philippine concert at the Mall of Asia Arena.
It’s wild to think this will be Doja’s very first time performing in the country, and it’s happening as part of her Ma Vie World Tour. The tour itself is tied to the release of her fifth studio album, Vie, dropping on September 26. And yes, Manila is getting a front-row seat to her new era.
Her freshly released single Jealous Type is already setting the vibe. Think shimmering ’80s synths, a little pop, a little rap, and that signature Doja attitude. Produced with Jack Antonoff (the mastermind behind Taylor Swift and Lorde classics) and Y2K (Ariana Grande, Tate McRae), the track has fans saying: “she’s got me so obsessed.” If her previous album Scarlet gave us unapologetic rap power, this new direction leans into something sleeker and nostalgic, like neon lights reflecting on a rain-soaked street.
And let’s not forget, her Scarlet era gifted us Agora Hills and the global smash Paint The Town Red, which topped the Billboard Hot 100. With Vie, she’s promising something that feels like both a reset and a reinvention.
Imagine this: December in Manila, Christmas lights everywhere, and you’re walking into the MOA Arena with your besties, dressed in your own version of “Moo!”-inspired chaos-core, ready to scream along to Kiss Me More. A Doja Cat concert isn’t just a night of music, it’s a lifestyle moment. From TikTok-worthy outfits to IG-story lyric captions (“Say So,” anyone?), the show is primed to be the kind of night you’ll talk about for years.
The Asia-Pacific leg kicks off November 18 in New Zealand before heading through Australia, Japan, Korea, Thailand, and more. Manila gets its moment on December 7, before the run wraps in Taiwan on December 21.
Philippine tickets go live starting September 1 via Doja Cat’s artist pre-sale, with Mastercard, Live Nation PH, and public sale dates following through September 5. Expect VIP packages, exclusive perks, and all the extras fans will want to make the night unforgettable.
So, if you’ve ever danced in your room to Say So, lip-synced Need to Know into a hairbrush, or declared yourself “a jealous type” after one too many listens of her new single, this is your sign. Manila, it’s time to paint the town red, literally.
