Regine Velasquez concert chronology |
Solo was a concert residency by Filipino singer Regine Velasquez at the Samsung Performing Arts Theater in Makati. Consisting of six shows, it began on February 17 and concluded on April 29, 2023. After not performing for a live audience following the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, Velasquez conceived the concert residency to celebrate the 35th anniversary of her professional debut. She described the show's concept as an artistic journey, with performances that would be devoid of front acts or special guests.
Velasquez aimed to create an intimate experience for concertgoers, which she found challenging for shows held in arenas. The set list contained songs she has never performed before and featured music from mainstream acts, such as Lizzo, Charlie Puth, Elvis Presley, and Madonna, as well as viral hits from the online video platform TikTok. It was exclusively promoted by iMusic Entertainment, with Raul Mitra serving as the music director, and Paolo Valenciano chosen as the stage director. Solo was critically appreciated, receiving praise for its theme and Velasquez's vocal abilities, and connection with the audience.
