Our favourite places to stay on this sleepy Cebu island.
If you are searching for a reason to plan a Manila trip in 2025, Maki just gave you one. The rising Filipino singer songwriter will hold his Kolorcoaster concert at Araneta Coliseum this November, one of the most awaited concerts in Manila 2025. With a title that already hints at a colourful and emotional ride, this event promises to be a travel worthy experience.
For many Filipino travellers, a concert is not just about music. It is a complete journey that includes booking tickets, catching up with friends, discovering the city and creating memories you will carry long after. And with the Big Dome being one of the most iconic Araneta Coliseum events, this is the kind of trip worth planning around.

Kolorcoaster is also the name of Maki’s debut album, releasing in September 2025. Each track connects with a colour, from the hit singles “Dilaw”, “Namumula” and “Bughaw”, to the newly anticipated songs fans cannot wait to hear live. Imagine the atmosphere of thousands of voices singing along in one of the biggest concert venues in the Philippines, an experience you will want to be part of.
For fans wondering where to buy concert tickets in Manila, Maki’s Kolorcoaster tickets are available through TicketNet outlets nationwide and online at www.ticketnet.com.ph. Seating prices vary, and since Araneta concerts tend to sell out quickly, especially for Filipino artists with a strong following, booking early is the smartest move.
The Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City is one of the most accessible event venues in Metro Manila.
By train: Take the MRT Line 3 or LRT Line 2 and alight at Araneta Center Cubao Station. The Big Dome is just a short walk away.
By bus or jeep: Cubao is a central hub with routes passing through both north and southbound directions.
By car: Parking spaces are available around Araneta City. Expect traffic during Araneta Coliseum events, so arriving early is recommended.
Travelling to Manila for Maki’s concert also opens up chances to explore the area. Quezon City is packed with activities for visitors. You can try things to do in Quezon City such as dining along Maginhawa Street, visiting late night cafés for a post concert chill, or shopping at Gateway and SM Cubao. If you plan to stay overnight, budget friendly hotels and Airbnbs are conveniently located near the Big Dome, making it easy to enjoy your trip without rushing home.

When you travel for music, the experience goes beyond the performance. You do not just see a place, you connect it with a song, an artist and a memory. Attending the Maki Kolorcoaster concert 2025 is more than just watching a show. It is a Manila travel experience that combines live music, Filipino culture and the energy of the Big Dome all in one unforgettable night.
So if you have been waiting for a reason to book that bus ticket, flight or Grab ride to Cubao, this is the sign you need. November is set to be vibrant and full of colour, and the Araneta Coliseum is where it all happens.
