Chris Tomlin Returns to the Philippines for Two April Worship Nights
Chris Tomlin is coming back to the Philippines. Niche Music announced two worship nights called Worship in the Philippines. The first is April 22, 2027 at the SM Seaside Cebu Arena. The second is April 24, 2027 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay. The organizer says it is his first visit in 15 years.
He has been here before
Tomlin was billed for Passion Manila on August 1, 2008 at the Philsports Arena, with Louie Giglio and Kristian Stanfill. The event was for university-aged students across the Philippines and Southeast Asia. Another Passion Manila show followed at the Araneta Coliseum on May 25, 2010, with Tomlin on the bill.
That is the latest Manila date we could confirm. It sits about 17 years before the April shows, not 15. Niche Music may be counting a visit we could not find.
The songs got here first
Tomlin and Giglio started Passion Conferences in 1997. TIME called him the most often sung artist in the world in 2006. “How Great Is Our God” and “Indescribable” are among his best known songs.
Manila fills arenas for worship
The Manila night is at the same arena where Planetshakers drew 60,000 people over four sold-out nights in September 2022. The SM Mall of Asia Arena seats 15,000.
Recent shows
In September 2026, Tomlin ran Worship Under the Stars, a three-night outdoor run in Los Angeles, Mesa and San Diego. At a 2018 concert at Liberty University, he told the crowd, “Worship is about seeing with our eyes more than singing with our lips.”
