Three of the most influential voices in Original Pilipino Music (OPM) history—Barbie Almalbis, Kitchie Nadal, and Acel Bisa—are uniting for a one-night-only concert experience at Cyprus Avenue on Friday, 3 July 2026.

Titled "OPM Pop Rock Queens," the event promises to be a nostalgic journey through the late 90s and early 2000s, featuring the anthems that defined a generation of Filipino youth.

A Landmark Musical Reunion

As part of the Tanaw Collective, these three legendary frontwomen represent a golden era of Pinoy alternative rock.

Barbie Almalbis, formerly of Hungry Young Poets and Barbie’s Cradle, brings her signature "rockoustic" sound and hits like "Tabing Ilog".

Kitchie Nadal, whose powerhouse vocals on "Huwag na Huwag Mong Sasabihin" made her a household name, joins the tour following her recent 20th-anniversary celebrations.

Acel Bisa, the original voice behind Moonstar88, will perform the timeless classic "Torete", a song that remains one of the most beloved Filipino love songs of all time.

This concert marks a rare opportunity for the Filipino community in Ireland and local fans of indie-pop to witness three icons sharing one stage, celebrating decades of friendship and musical influence.
