Dubai: Get ready, Dubai! The city’s music lovers — especially the Filipino community — are in for a night of pure vocal magic as Sofronio Vasquez, the newly crowned The Voice USA Season 26 champion, takes the stage for his first major international solo concert — and it’s happening right here at the Dubai World Trade Centre!

A star is born

Sofronio Vasquez — the soulful Filipino sensation who made history as the first Filipino and first Asian male to win The Voice USA — is bringing his powerhouse vocals, heartfelt ballads, and electrifying energy to the UAE for one epic night. From blind audition chills to standing ovations across America, Sofronio’s voice has captivated millions and catapulted him to global fame.

A global journey, a personal story

Before the bright lights of Hollywood, Sofronio lived a quiet life in Misamis Occidental, Philippines, where he worked as a dentist. Music was his lifelong passion, passed down from his father, Oniol Vasquez — the man who inspired him to chase his dreams. After his father’s passing, Sofronio returned to music in his honor, eventually rising through the ranks of Tawag ng Tanghalan before stunning the world on The Voice.

Now based in the US, Sofronio’s rise is a powerful tale of talent, resilience, and purpose. Supported by his wife, human rights lawyer Maria Isabel Vasquez, and their two children, he’s an artist who sings not just with technique, but with heart.

The music that moved millions

Fans can expect an emotionally charged setlist featuring his hit originals: Mahalaga, Shine, and Bililhon, as well as the crowd-favorite covers that made him a household name: Nothing’s gonna change my love for you, If I ain’t got you (with Gigi De Lana), Through the fire, The greatest love of all.

Every note. Every lyric. Every moment — crafted to connect, uplift, and inspire.

One night only – don’t miss it!

This isn’t just a concert — it’s a celebration of culture, dreams, and music without borders. Whether you’ve followed Sofronio from his Tawag ng Tanghalan days or just discovered his journey on The Voice USA, this is your chance to witness greatness — live and unfiltered.

Venue: Dubai World Trade Centre
Date: September 6, 2025
Doors open at 6pm | Show starts at 8pm
