Ben&Ben is set to perform as a special guest in Ed Sheeran’s + – = ÷ x Tour in Manila on 9 March at the SMDC Festival Grounds, Parañaque City.

“Ma, special guest na kami ni Ed Sheeran sa concert niya [crying emoji]. Parang dati lang, nagcocover lang kami ng ‘Perfect’ sa Youtube. Never in our wildest dreams did we think this could happen. Surreal,” Ben&Ben announced on social media.

The nine-piece Filipino indie folk-pop band is composed of twin brothers Miguel Benjamin and Paolo Benjamin on acoustic guitars and vocals, Poch Barretto on electric guitar, Keifer Cabugao on violin, Andrew De Pano and Toni Munoz on percussion, Pat Lasaten on keyboards, Agnes Reoma on bass, and Jam Villanueva on drums.

New seats and additional general admission (Cat 8) section tickets were released at ovationtickets.com and smtickets.com. English singer-songwriter Calum Scott will also have a special performance at the show.

Sheeran previously held sold-out concerts in Manila in 2015 and 2018.
