KAVANA Announces Second Act Asia Tour 2026 – Live in Manila

British favourite KAVANA is officially back. After years away from the stage, he has announced his long-awaited return with Second Act Asia Tour 2026, a meaningful moment for fans who grew up with his music and have been hoping for this reunion.

KAVANA comes to New Frontier Theater, Araneta City, on Sunday, 13 December 2026, for one night only, as part of a three-city run with Jakarta and Singapore.

Rising to prominence in the late ’90s, KAVANA became known for his heartfelt songwriting, infectious melodies, and unmistakably British sound that resonated well beyond the UK. This return is not simply a trip down memory lane, but a celebration of music that defined a generation and continues to resonate with listeners today.

“This tour is incredibly special to us,” he shared. “Asia has always shown me so much love. Coming back after all these years feels emotional, honest, and long overdue.”

Released under Sony Music Entertainment, the track follows Ziv’s previous releases, “Kuryente” and “Walkie Talkie,” and expands his solo offerings with indelible pop sensibilities and deceptively simple production.
