Pambansang Bae Alden Richards’ Upsurge was sold-out days before it’s scheduled performance at Kia Theater in Cubao on May 27.

During the show, Richards delighted his fans with his rendition of today’s top hits as he unleashed dance moves that sent the more than 2000 guests in a wild frenzy.

He opened his concert by showing off his sexy side and performed Justin Bieber’s “Cold Water” and Bruno Mars’ “That’s What I Like”. 

He also did a rock number with Raymund Marasigan

His close friends Kristoffer Martin, Rodjun Cruz, and Mark Herras reunited with the Pambansang Bae on the dance floor. After their energetic dance number, all of them hugged Richards and congratulated him for the success of his concert.

In one of the videos flashed on screen, Richards mentioned Janno Gibbs as one of his musical influences. He then shared that he’s extremely happy that Gibbs was one of his special guests that night. The two performed the latter’s classic hit “Pinakamagandang Lalaki”.

As a devoted Christian, he made sure that there’s a segment in the concert in which he could perform various worship songs. He even thanked the Lord for making his dreams come true. One of the songs he sang was “One Way,” which is included in his second album Say It Again (GMA Records).

One of the highlights of the concert was the kilig production number with Maine Mendoza. The phenomenal love team performed an interpretative dance number to the tune of “Unsteady” by X Ambassadors and followed by a duet of Coldplay’s song “Yellow” that made the fans scream their hearts out.

Richards thanked Mendoza after their performance and said, “Maraming salamat. Nabago ang buhay ko ng isang Maine Mendoza. Sabi nga nila, laging may reasons why we meet people in life. It’s either you meet them for them to change your life or vice versa, you’re the one that would change theirs.”
