Freedom: The Regine Velasquez-Alcasid Digital Concert was a livestream concert by the Filipino recording artist Regine Velasquez. The concert was produced and broadcast by ABS-CBN Events through four live streaming platforms at 8:00 p.m. Philippine Standard Time on February 28, 2021. The concert's premise was "freedom of singing", stemming from Velasquez's desire to sing songs from several music genres and create a live experience on a stream for her fans longing for a sense of human connection. The set list included renditions of songs from artists such as Elton John, Chris Isaak, George Michael, Sara Bareilles, Dua Lipa, and Billie Eilish. Bamboo Mañalac performed as a special guest.
Freedom was filmed at ABS-CBN Studios in Manila, with musicians, background vocalists, and dancers on set. Initially scheduled for Valentine's Day, Freedom was postponed due to potential COVID-19 exposure among the production team, in line with strict quarantine guidelines affecting the city. The concert received positive reviews, praise centering on Velasquez's stage presence and performance. Commercially, ticket sales exceeded ₱1 million (US$20,000) within twelve hours after they were made available for purchase. There was a reshowing of the livestream, broadcast exclusively via Stageit on April 4, 2021.
