Life is definitely great as JACKSON WANG finally brought his MAGICMAN 2 tour to Manila last November 2, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

True to his artistry and boundless creativity, JACKSON WANG’s MAGICMAN 2 delivered an impressive production throughout the concert, with a dynamic stage setup, a live band, and stunning lights that elevated the show’s energy from start to finish.

On top of that, JACKSON WANG, being the all-rounder that he is, effortlessly showcased his powerful vocals, slick rap skills, and sharp dance moves in every performance, while his undeniable charisma and magnetic stage presence captivated the crowd all night long.

JACKSON WANG immediately captured the crowd’s attention as he kicked off the concert with a powerful performance of High Alone, suspended in the air by a harness. This opening act instantly ignited loud cheers from JACKYs, proving just how much energy the night had in store.

“I feel like tonight’s going to be fun!” JACKSON said after Access. “Let’s have some fun,” he added, hyping up the crowd before taking the stage again for Hate to Love.

The next set of MAGICMAN had everyone in awe as JACKSON brought a few lucky fans on stage during his performances of Shadows on the Wall and Contact. The crowd went wild as these fans got an up-close and unforgettable moment with JACKSON, who danced and interacted with them right on stage.

JACKSON then shifted to a more emotional part of the show, performing heartfelt tracks like Not For Me, Blue, and Everything. After his set, he expressed his gratitude to the crowd, saying, “Thank you so much, guys, for coming to my show, for giving the time and effort to listen to my story. Thank you so much. Salamat po.”

After performing Long Gone, JACKSON performed Dopamine, turning the venue into a sea of lights swaying in harmony as he guided the crowd. It was a touching moment that beautifully captured the bond between him and his fans.

Bringing back his high-energy performances, JACKSON showed off his killer moves with BUCK, Let Loose, TITANIC and GBAD. Oozing with swag, he hyped up the crowd, saying, “Everybody, just stand up. We’re here to have fun!” The coliseum instantly turned into one big party, with everyone vibing and dancing along to the tracks.

An emotional VCR played before JACKSON performed Dear: while facing a photo of his younger self with his parents. He then followed it up with Sophie Ricky, delivering the song with deep emotion. After the back-to-back performances, JACKSON once again thanked his fans for coming to his show. Trying his best to say “I love you” in Filipino, he said a few different words before finally getting it right with “Mahal kita!” and playfully said, “Isa, dalawa, tatlo. Mahal kita!”

“Live the magic. Whatever that happen to you, good and the bad, that made who you are today. And for me, that made me a man. I want you guys to takeaway that message from today,” JACKSON said during his ment before performing Made Me a Man. He also shared inspirational words about being true to yourself, not just following trends, and that sometimes being not okay is okay.

JACKSON returned for the encore and fired up the crowd, saying, “I’m not coming out until you guys stand the fuck up! Let’s go!” The arena instantly turned into a full-on rave-party mode as everyone jumped and danced along. He even made his way closer to the audience, heading toward the tech booth side to connect with fans on the second floor.

“Show me Manila’s vibe!” JACKSON shouted, hyping the crowd even more. He invited additional fans to join him on stage and have fun with him and KINJAZ, the dance crew performing alongside him. This moment beautifully captured JACKSON WANG’s genuine connection and bond with his beloved JACKYs.

“Manila is fucking crazy! This is insane!” JACKSON said during his final message. He added, “Be happy. Find your own standard of happiness.” Then ended with a heartfelt, “Salamat po. This is J. WANG!”

JACKSON WANG truly brought magic to Manila with his MAGICMAN 2 concert.
