In his almost 30-year career in the entertainment industry, Rico Blanco has never been one to back out on challenges. Be it co-founding one of the most iconic local bands, Riverymaya, in 1994; conquering the stage as a solo artist in 2008; and eventually taking more responsibilities behind the scenes as manager and producer, Blanco always went for them head-on, giving every single one his all.

This year, Blanco is taking the same intense fervor and spirit as he stages his first ever solo headliner at the gigantic Smart-Araneta Coliseum.
