On the evening of December 14, Ben&Ben made history with their inaugural arena and sold out concert, aptly named “The Traveller Across Dimensions”, dazzling their devoted fans—referred to affectionately as “Liwanag”—with an unprecedented 3D animated spectacle.

Preceded by the indie sensation Ena Mori, with the added surprise of their producer, Ziv, joining as a musician, the concert set the stage for an unparalleled audio-visual presentation.
The concert, a live interpretation of Ben&Ben’s third studio album, introduced attendees to an elaborately animated narrative. It charted the odyssey of Liwanag, a character in search of serenity, navigating through realms emblematic of Light, Energy, and Feel. Her voyage, filled with obstacles testing her will, also featured encounters with another character, Mahiwaga, adding layers to her quest for enlightenment.

The profundity of this adventure was heightened by the live execution of 28 tracks by Ben&Ben, including a festive mash-up of “Bibingka" and “Ilang Tulog Na Lang,” perfectly capturing the Yuletide spirit.
Hits like “Sa Susunod Na Habang Buhay”, “Leaves”, “Could Be Something,” “Maybe the Night,” “Kathang Isip”, “Araw-Araw”, and “Ride Home” were among the melodies that resonated through the venue, reiterating why Ben&Ben is celebrated across the nation, touching the hearts of both young and old.
