Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal Unite for CROSSFADE, an Intimate Celebration of Pinoy Rock

October 5, 2026

 

Two of the most recognizable voices in Philippine alternative music come together for a one-night-only concert featuring timeless favorites and new releases.

For a generation that grew up with their music, hearing Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal share the same stage is more than just another concert. It is a chance to revisit the songs that became part of their youth while discovering where the two celebrated singer-songwriters are headed next.

On October 11, 2026 (Sunday), the two Pinoy rock icons will join forces for CROSSFADE, an intimate, two-billed concert at Matchpoint Sports Bar and Events in Mandaluyong City.

The one-night-only engagement promises extended sets from both artists, bringing together enduring favorites and new material in a live setting that allows audiences to experience their music up close.

Two Distinct Voices, One Musical Generation

Barbie Almalbis and Kitchie Nadal have each carved out a distinct place in Philippine music, becoming familiar voices in the country's rock and alternative-pop landscape.

While their respective musical journeys have taken different directions over the years, both continue to create music that connects with audiences beyond the generation that first discovered them.

CROSSFADE celebrates that shared history without being confined to nostalgia. By featuring both classic hits and newer releases, the concert offers a glimpse of their continuing evolution as artists.

The two previously performed together during the first two editions of Secrets at the Music Museum before reuniting for the two-part Tanaw concert series, which brought together their contemporaries from the Philippine rock and alternative-pop scene.

With CROSSFADE, the artists once again bridge different eras of Pinoy music, creating an evening that celebrates their individual artistry and the musical memories they share with listeners.

An Intimate Night of Music and Nostalgia

CROSSFADE embraces a more intimate setting, placing the focus on the music and the connection between the performers and their audience.

For longtime fans, it is an opportunity to hear familiar songs live once again. For newer listeners, it is a chance to experience two influential Filipina musicians whose work continues to resonate across generations.
