In the ABS-CBN Entertainment report, the announcement came from Mamamoo's official X account late Thursday. Solar, Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hwasa listed Manila among the initial tour stops, with the local show scheduled for August 8.

The exact venue was not yet announced, but the stop is already a big deal for fans because it marks the group's return to the country more than three years after their February 2023 concert at the Araneta Coliseum during the “My Con” tour. Since then, the members have still visited the Philippines separately for solo gigs, pero iba pa rin pag kumpleto sila.

ABS-CBN also noted that the 2026 tour signals a full-group reunion after the members spent recent years focusing on individual careers. The world tour will begin in Seoul in June before expanding across Asia and North America, with more stops still expected to be announced.

Mamamoo debuted in 2014 and built a loyal following through strong vocals and performance-heavy hits like “Decalcomanie,” “Starry Night,” “Egotistic,” and “Hip.” Source: https://www.abs-cbn.com/entertainment/showbiz/events/2026/4/3/mamamoo-to-bring-2026-world-tour-to-manila-in-august-0837
