Puregold OPM Con 2025 Sets New Standard for Filipino Music Events
“Grabe ka, Ninang Puregold, binuhay mong puso ng bawat Pilipino.
Pinagsama-sama mong lahat ng fandom at mga malulupit na guest stars!” shared concertgoer Mhadz Garcia in a Facebook post, echoing the overwhelming public sentiment following the Puregold OPM Con 2025.Held on July 5 at the world-renowned Philippine Arena, Puregold OPM Con 2025 drew a massive crowd of over 30,000 fans, becoming a landmark event in the history of Original Pilipino Music (OPM). The concert showcased a rare fusion of musical generations, offering performances that were both nostalgic and refreshingly modern.
From top-charting acts like BINI, Flow G, G22, KAIA, SB19, Skusta Clee, and SunKissed Lola to surprise pairings that brought the house down—James Reid with BINI, Mayonnaise and KAIA, Yeng Constantino with G22, and Rico Blanco alongside SB19—the night delivered a powerful message: OPM continues to thrive, evolve, and unite.
“It’s not only about the artists or the genre, but the music and our stories that are worth celebrating,” said concert attendee Jobelle Nervar. Many echoed the same gratitude online, calling Puregold a true champion of Filipino talent.
What made the event stand out even more was its accessibility. The crowd wasn’t dominated by celebrities or social media influencers, but by everyday Filipinos who earned tickets through Puregold’s in-store promotions. This inclusive approach resonated deeply with many.
As one blogger from Pinoy Publiko noted, “The real story was the crowd. These weren’t VIP elites—they were regular people, grocery shoppers who won raffle entries. It made the experience more authentic, more grounded.”
In its review, Interaksyon of the Philippine Star described the concert as proof that OPM is not just a trend, but a thriving cultural movement. “It wasn’t just a gathering of top Filipino artists, but a celebration of their fans too,” the article read.
Attendees praised not only the performances but also Puregold’s generosity, free tickets, free shuttle services, snacks, and surprise artist appearances.
“Ninang Puregold, salamat po sa pagdala ng OPM artists sa Philippine Arena,” wrote Maria C. Escobal. “They all deserved to be heard and to perform on the biggest stage—dahil atin ’to. Salamat po sa pagiging generous ninyo.”
Another fan, Ambakung Bibal, commended the concert’s spirit of unity. “Love the idea of P-pop groups and veteran OPM artists in one big concert. Camaraderie, respect, and talent all in one!”
Even music platforms and fan pages took notice. The Philippine Concerts Facebook page praised the event’s impact, stating, “Puregold brings Filipino music to new heights with OPM Con 2025. Thank you for uniting fans in an epic celebration.”
From heartfelt ballads to electrifying performances, the event celebrated the full spectrum of Filipino music. Beyond entertainment, it served as a reminder of how OPM can bring people together, inspire connection, and ignite national pride.
“Mumultuhin na naman tayo ng araw na ’to, bukas o makalawa,” said Michael Arcos in a reflective post. “Sana may natutunan kayo, lahat ng OPM artists ay may common goal. ’Yan ang OPM Rise.”
Puregold, more often associated with grocery aisles than arena stages, has proven itself to be an unexpected but powerful force in shaping the local music scene.
“If this is what Puregold can do for OPM right now,” said Vincent Co, President of Puregold Price Club Inc., “imagine what we can do in the years ahead. Filipino artists deserve the world stage and we’re proud to support that journey.”
