Manila just had a taste of Colde’s BLUEPRINT+ Tour last January 17, and everyone just can’t get enough. Not only because of his mellow, K-drama-perfect vocals, but also because of a hot, charismatic R&B and hip-hop set list that had the crowd bopping until they dropped.
So to help ease your cravings, here’s everything that went down on the craziest night of 2026 so far.
Irresistibly slick: DJ Skope in the house!
It wasn’t even eight o’clock, but the party had already started. South Korean techno producer DJ Skope was cooking up some beats while fans entered the Music Museum to find their seats. But no one actually stayed seated because the moment DJ Skope switched up the tempo, the crowd was already moving, grooving to a trippy run of hit tracks back to back.
And as the mix blended harder and harder, reaching its crescendo, the stage turned dark, the crowd got quiet, and the main star of the night entered the scene. Wearing a long-sleeved army green shirt, paired with dark straight-cut pants and a stylish gray cap, Colde exuded a relaxed, street-style vibe, perfect for his opening tracks, “Toxic Love” and “Heartbreak Club.” His soft vocals, backed by ticklish beats, threw everyone to a toe-tapping, sonic bliss.
Caution: Hot surface, Khakii just served!
Fans cheered louder as a familiar face showed up. Show Me The Money Season 9 and 10 contestant Khakii joined Colde, delivering a hard-hitting rap sequence with their hit collaborations, “BASS” and “Juicy.” From the track’s opening line up until the last beat drop, that whole six-minute experience was nothing but pure insanity!
And as the night went deeper, it’s Show Me The Money all over again as Khakii unexpectedly performed the fan-favorite, “Trouble” and his hit track, “Wake Your Ass Up.” Teasing his fans for his upcoming album, he also sang an unreleased track in front of the crowd. Fans started questioning if this was a concert or a cooking show because Khakii was just way too hot. “Jalsaenggyeosseoyo!” A fan shouted during Khakii’s quick chat with the crowd. Later, he threw some playful banters and revealed his new favorite fast food chain, Jollibee.
Drip check: Colde steals the scene
Just when the energy seemed impossible to top, Colde returned to the stage, this time in a red staple shirt emblazoned with the word “DRIPPY.” He also gave us a sneak peek to his upcoming album by performing one of his unreleased songs. And I’m telling you, it’s a banger!
The audience later swooned with his next song, “Sunflower” as he handed crochet sunflowers to some lucky fans. Followed by his genre-defying songs, “When the Dawn Comes Again,” “Control Me,” and “WA-R-R,” everybody sang the lyrics in unison. It was one of the concert highlights where his talent truly shone. Despite the language barrier, he’s got a voice that’s genuine enough to relay such deep emotions across borders. Call it “bewitching,” “magical,” or “illegal,” but one thing for sure is that he definitely stole hearts.
A K-drama fantasy came true
Every Colde fan has this wish: to be serenaded by one of the most iconic K-drama OST singers. And Colde just made that happen. As the background lights went dimmer, the audience turned on their flashlights, and the whole crowd swayed along the guitar strums; it was time to have the ultimate K-drama moment.
“Just like a star,” I immediately melted as he sang the first line of “Star” from the hit Netflix drama, “See You In My 19th Life.” It’s been three years since the drama aired but hearing it live brought back all the bittersweet memories. The moment felt like a wave of nostalgia, a warm embrace, or a familiar friend quietly saying “thank you” and “farewell” all at once. It was the perfect closure that everyone could’ve asked for.
What a night!
But just when everybody thought the concert was over, DJ Skope turned up the beat and Khakii jumped onto the stage. No concert has ever been completed without an encore. So for the finale, Colde and Khakii went extra wild with the hip-hop track, “All in Motion.” Everyone was head-banging to DJ Skope’s heavy synths, and the amount of unholy shrieking from the crowd was enough to set the place on fire. Maybe that’s why Colde and Khakii splashed their water bottles on the crowd, blessing us like it’s holy water.
As the trio exited the stage, everyone was left grasping for air. And to truly top it off, every fan had a chance to see these three hot men up close for the send-off segment. I still can’t believe that the craziest two hours of my life has already ended. Because the Colde BLUEPRINT+ Tour wasn’t just a concert; it was a full-blown sonic feast. Three artists, one stage, and a night that left Manila hungry for the next bite.
