After less than a year, Chanyeol came "Back Again" to Manila, not for a fan meet or brand event, but for his first solo concert tour to reunite with his Filipino EXO-Ls and Yeolmates. The Manila stop of his City-Scape Live Tour took place at the Araneta Coliseum last October 19, 2024. Though Chanyeol frequently visits the Philippines for vacations and shows over the years, his fans made sure not to miss this special event.



Known as a multi-talented artist, Chanyeol used this opportunity to showcase different facets of his artistry: as a passionate musician, vocalist, rapper, dancer, and an all-around exceptional performer. He kicked off his solo concert by rocking the stage with his electric guitar and undeniable stage presence. With his live band, he performed multiple songs from his latest album, solo tracks, popular OSTs, and, of course, EXO and EXO-SC hits. The EXO medley (Lotto + Tempo + Monster + Obsession + Growl + Hear Me Out) was undoubtedly a crowd favorite!


One of the highlights of the night was the duet segments between Chanyeol and his fans. Filipinos, renowned worldwide for their singing talent, proudly showcased their amazing vocals during "Stay With Me," "Yours," "Minimal Warm," and "Telephone."





If you've been an EXO or Chanyeol fan for a while, you're likely familiar with their tradition of singing "Hawak Kamay" by Yeng Constantino when visiting their Filipino fans. However, that didn't happen at City-Scape in Manila, as Chanyeol jokingly announced he had retired the song due to having performed it numerous times and wanted to treat his fans to a new Filipino song. He then surprised everyone in the venue with "Raining in Manila." Chanyeol performed it so well that it was a huge hit, leading him to perform it twice! He simply couldn’t resist his fans' requests and delighted them with an encore!






The City-Scape Live Tour in Manila was not just a concert; it was an interactive musical that demonstrated the strong chemistry between Chanyeol and his Filo-EXOLs. It was also a night that showcased Chanyeol's commitment not only to delivering a great performance but also to finding ways to make the show more engaging and unforgettable for his fans.
