The RAAA! Concert is a significant stage for four of today’s most-streamed male soloists. It also comes at a time when all of them are facing turning points in their careers—and they see tonight’s concert as a checkpoint before heading into their next chapters.
That was the shared sentiment at the concert’s Nov. 26 press conference, where Rob Deniel, Arthur Nery, Adie, and Amiel Sol talked about performing together at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Each of them has grown through different experiences over the past year, and coming together on one stage feels like the right moment for all four.
For Adie, the show happens while he’s learning to push himself further as a performer. He hopes 2026 finally brings something he has yet to achieve.
“I’m really looking forward to doing a solo concert,” he said. “I’ve never experienced having a solo show, so I’m hoping I get to perform at Araneta next year.”
He added that he plans to take more opportunities and to “interact more with the people supporting me” moving forward.
Rob also sees the concert as part of a larger shift. He described 2025 as “full of plot twists” and shared that experimenting with sound—including his tribute to Ogie Alcasid—opened new doors creatively.
“I don’t want to limit the kind of music I play,” he said. “Sometimes you really need to take that risk so you can explore something different.”
He hopes to carry that energy into the new year, saying, “I want to end the year still making music. My goal next year is to release an album.”
Amiel called 2025 “very unexpected,” acknowledging that the sudden attention from streaming took him by surprise. “I never expected this, because I never had a hit before,” he said.
With momentum on his side, he hopes to stay focused and grounded. “What I want moving forward is consistency—releasing songs and focusing on my art,” he said.
He added that their concert setlist reflects who they are behind the scenes. “We chose songs we grew up with so listeners can also see another side of our artistry.”
Arthur, who has already headlined major venues, said the change for him is more internal—learning to be present and grateful for where he is now. He explained that the concert format is not designed to separate them but to highlight how much they enjoy working together.
“There are parts of the concert where we sing each other’s songs,” he said. “It’s collaborative—it’s a family concert.”
He also sees the show as a gesture toward the people who stayed with them throughout their journeys.
“This is a way for us to show up for the fans who have always shown up for us.”
The four emphasized that RAAA! isn’t structured as four solo acts stitched together. Most of the night will see them performing side by side rather than taking turns.
As Arthur put it, “To sound as one—without losing our identities.”
The RAAA! Concert happens tonight at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. Tickets are available through TicketNet.
