We flagged this one earlier in the Insider calendar, and now it's official: IV of Spades are bringing their Andalucia Tour 2026 up the mountain. If you've been waiting for a reason to book a Baguio weekend in August, here it is.
The essentials
- Who: IV of Spades
- When: Sunday, August 16, 2026
- Where: John Hay Convention Center, Camp John Hay, Baguio City
A quick heads-up on the date, because it changed. This show was rescheduled from its original May 16, 2026 slot. Per the promoter's announcement, it was moved "due to the state of calamity declared in Baguio following the fuel crisis," and "all previously purchased tickets will be honored on the new date." One detail worth noting if you're comparing older listings: the original May 16 date was posted for the John Hay Open Field, while the rescheduled August 16 show is at the John Hay Convention Center. Go by the Convention Center for this date.
(We're not listing a start time here — the officially readable sources didn't confirm one, so check your ticket and the promoter's channels closer to the date rather than trusting an unverified time.)
Why it's worth the trip
This isn't a nostalgia set. IV of Spades announced their return from hiatus on July 16, 2025, with Unique Salonga back on lead vocals and rhythm guitar — rejoining Zild Benitez (vocals, bass, keyboards), Blaster Silonga (lead guitar, vocals), and Badjao de Castro (drums, vocals).
The tour is built around their second studio album, Andalucia, released November 5, 2025. It follows a genuine comeback moment: the band played sold-out solo concerts at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on December 12 and 13, 2025.
And the shows themselves are built to deliver. Each Andalucia Tour stop is billed as a more than two-hour, roughly 30-song set featuring every track from Andalucia alongside the classics. That's a full evening of music in one of the coolest, most atmospheric settings in the country.
The lineup
- Unique Salonga — lead vocals, rhythm guitar
- Zild Benitez — vocals, bass, keyboards
- Blaster Silonga — lead guitar, vocals
- Badjao de Castro — drums, vocals
