Filipino hitmaker TJ Monterde is making his grand return to the UAE, this time in Abu Dhabi, with his much-awaited Sarili Nating Mundo concert on December 2—and fans won’t have to wait long to secure their seats. Organizers confirmed to Expat Media that tickets will officially go on sale at 9pm on Friday (September 26) through sarilinatingmundoauh.ae. However, eager fans who pre-registered are given a special advantage: early access to tickets between 6pm and 9pm via a unique link sent to their registered emails. “Pre-selling slots sold out in less than 24 hours,” organizers revealed, a testament to Monterde’s massive popularity in the UAE. Following his sold-out concert at Dubai’s Coca-Cola Arena in July, the "Palagi" hitmaker is set to take over 321 Sports Arena on Hudayriyat Island, Abu Dhabi, on December 2—a date that coincides with the UAE’s National Day holiday. The concert, dubbed the 40th Sarili Nating Mundo Tour Finale in Abu Dhabi, will also feature Monterde’s wife, award-winning singer KZ Tandingan, and concert director John Prats, adding even more star power to the event. The show is produced by Cornerstone Concerts, Ahead Unlimited, and ProXperts Events. Monterde’s Sarili Nating Mundo world tour has already made waves globally, following his historic three-day sold-out run at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in the Philippines. With more than a billion Spotify streams, he is now considered the top OPM artist on the platform. Fans are urged to book quickly when general ticket sales open, given Monterde’s track record of sold-out shows both locally and internationally. CAM/Expat Media
