Known for staging some of the biggest year-end events in the Philippines, SM Mall of Asia raises the bar with a full-scale New Year spectacle that blends live music, cultural highlights, and nonstop entertainment across the entire complex. With extended mall hours and a festive seaside atmosphere, the countdown is designed to welcome families, tourists, and local revelers looking for a memorable way to start 2026.

Leading the night’s lineup is AHOF, a global K-pop act formed through the SBS survival show Universe League. Since their debut in July 2025 with the mini-album Who We Are, the group has quickly gained international attention for their powerful performances and multicultural appeal. Filipino fans have an added reason to cheer with member JL Gaspar, whose roots in the local P-pop scene through PLUUS bring a strong homegrown connection to the global stage.

The excitement continues with GMA Network’s top Kapuso artists taking over the stage starting at 10 PM. Julie Anne San Jose, Christian Bautista, Kyline Alcantara, Rayver Cruz, Rocco Nacino, and more deliver back-to-back performances that steadily build the countdown energy as midnight approaches.

To keep the celebration going, Mall of Asia Veranda tenants remain open until 12 midnight, giving guests plenty of dining and hangout options while enjoying the festive seaside vibe. The night reaches its most awaited moment exactly at 12 MN as the MOA Grand Fireworks Display explodes across the skyline. Set to music, the large-scale fireworks show fills the sky with color and sound, creating a thrilling and emotional welcome to the new year that has become a national tradition.

With global talent, top local stars, and a world-class fireworks finale, the NYE Kapuso Countdown to 2026 cements SM Mall of Asia’s place as the ultimate New Year celebration hub. As the clock strikes midnight, MOA invites Filipinos and visitors from around the world to welcome 2026 together in a night defined by energy, excitement, and the unmistakable spirit of the New Year at MOA.
