TWICE brought the THIS IS FOR World Tour to Philippine Arena in Bulacan in 2025, with solo stages, classic hits, and a massive ONCE crowd.
TWICE concerts have always been a little extra, and their THIS IS FOR World Tour stop in Bulacan was no exception.
On October 4, 2025, ONCEs from all over the Philippines made their way to the Philippine Arena for a night filled with new songs, solo stages, throwback favorites, and the kind of energy you can only really appreciate when you're inside a stadium packed with thousands of fans.
I didn't take as many photos as I normally would during a concert, so this is a pretty limited set from the night. Still, these few shots capture some of the scale and atmosphere of TWICE's Bulacan show.

About the show
TWICE brought their THIS IS FOR World Tour to the Philippine Arena on October 4, 2025, with the Manila-area stop becoming one of the tour's big stadium shows in Asia. The show started at around 7:05 PM and ran for roughly two hours and twenty minutes.
The concert was divided into four main acts, with a separate solo section that gave each member her own moment on stage. The set moved from songs from THIS IS FOR and other recent releases to some of TWICE's biggest older hits, ending with SIGNAL and Talk That Talk.
Even from the limited photos I took, you can see just how big the production was. There were massive screens, a huge elevated stage setup, and plenty of lighting that changed the entire look of the arena from one part of the show to another.
And, of course, there was the audience. The Philippine Arena was filled with ONCEs, lightsticks and all, which made the whole thing feel much bigger than just a regular concert night.
Getting to the Philippine Arena
The Philippine Arena is located within Ciudad de Victoria in Bocaue/Santa Maria, Bulacan, so if you're coming from Metro Manila, this is one of those concert venues where I'd really recommend planning your transportation ahead of time. The venue is beside the Philippine Sports Stadium and is accessible from NLEX.
For commuters, routes from SM North EDSA/TriNoma, Cubao, Monumento and PITX can get you toward Bocaue or Santa Maria, with local transport options available for the final stretch to the arena.
If you're driving, leave early. Concert traffic around Bocaue and the Ciudad de Victoria area can add significant travel time, particularly when thousands of people are heading to the same event. NLEX has previously advised motorists heading toward Santa Maria and the Philippine Arena to allow extra travel time during major events.

Concert Highlights
The solo stages were definitely one of the highlights of this tour.
After the first two acts, the show shifted into a completely different format as each member got her own stage. Tzuyu performed DIVE IN, Mina performed STONE COLD, Nayeon brought out MEEEEEE, and Dahyun performed CHESS. Chaeyoung, Jihyo, Sana, and Momo followed with their own solo performances.
It was nice seeing the members step away from the usual TWICE group format for a bit and have their own individual moments on a stage this huge.
Then came the part that I'm sure a lot of longtime ONCEs were waiting for: the classics.
FANCY, What is Love?, YES or YES, Dance the Night Away, and Feel Special were all part of the final main set. After spending much of the concert with newer songs and individual stages, going into this run of familiar TWICE songs felt like a proper throwback.
And you can definitely see the scale of the production in the few photos I managed to take. The stage transformed between different looks, from a mostly dark arena filled with screens and lights to the bright red stage setup toward the latter part of the show.
By the time ONE SPARK came around, it really felt like the concert was building toward its final stretch.
Of course, TWICE wasn't going to leave without an encore. SIGNAL and Talk That Talk brought the night to a close, giving ONCEs two more chances to sing along before the lights finally came back on.
Concert Photos
I didn't take a huge number of photos during the TWICE show, so this is a much smaller gallery compared to some of my other concert posts.
But I still wanted to include the shots I took because they show just how massive the Philippine Arena looked during the concert—from the sea of lights in the audience to the large-scale stage and screens.
A Few Notes...
I think the biggest thing I remember about this concert is just how big everything felt.
The Philippine Arena is already an enormous venue, and TWICE's production filled it accordingly. Even from a distance, the stage looked huge, with the screens and lighting doing a lot of the work in making the performance visible to an audience that stretched far beyond the floor.
I also liked that the setlist didn't completely rely on the newest songs. Having I CAN'T STOP ME, The Feels, FANCY, What is Love?, YES or YES, Dance the Night Away, and Feel Special all in one show meant there were plenty of songs that instantly brought back different TWICE eras.
And while I didn't come home with hundreds of photos from this one, I'm actually okay with that. Sometimes it's better to just enjoy the concert, sing along, watch the performances, and let the camera stay down for a while.
These few photos are enough to remind me of what the night looked like—and more importantly, what it felt like to be inside the Philippine Arena with thousands of ONCEs watching TWICE perform.
