Two-time Grammy-winning artist, composer, and producer Laufey is set to meet her Filipino fans during the Manila stop of her A Matter of Time Tour, with RCBC Visa credit cardholders getting the first opportunity to secure tickets through an exclusive presale.
The Icelandic-Chinese singer will perform for two nights in Manila on May 26 and 27 as part of her Asia Pacific tour. Visa (NYSE: V), the official payment partner of the tour, is collaborating with Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) to give select cardholders priority access to tickets before the general public.
RCBC Visa credit cardholders will be able to purchase tickets earlier through participating ticketing platforms. RCBC Visa Infinite cardholders will receive the earliest presale access on March 9 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Other RCBC Visa cardholders can join the presale shortly after, from March 9 at 6 p.m. until March 10 at 10 a.m.
Music as a passion pillar continues to influence the way people live, play, and pay – a phenomenon more pronounced for Filipino concertgoers, particularly for Gen Z consumers. Music is the third most popular hobby for Filipino Gen Z consumers, according to Visa data, with 27% citing it as their passion, right behind gaming (33%) and watching movies and dramas (30%).
Filipinos are also among the top five concertgoing markets in Asia Pacific along with India, Vietnam, and Indonesia, with 38% of Filipinos attending concerts in the preceding 12 months. This number is higher for Gen Zs, with 42% saying they have attended at least one live music event.
“Music is a potent force that brings people together, and Visa ensures that seamless, secure payments enable memorable music experiences for Filipino music lovers. With RCBC, we are bringing Laufey’s unique artistry closer to her Filipino fans, guided by Visa’s fan-first approach to partnerships,” noted Jeffrey Navarro, Country Manager for Visa Philippines.
“As one of the Philippines’ most innovative banks, RCBC prioritizes meaningful consumer experiences that go beyond banking. With our collaboration with Visa, we aim to give our Visa Infinite and Visa Credit Card holders exclusive access to curated experiences that match their discerning tastes and preferences,” added Arniel Vincent B. Ong, RCBC Credit Cards President and CEO.
Laufey, who recently won Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album at the 68th Grammy Awards, will star in Visa’s upcoming “Be The Traveler You Want To Be” campaign. She will feature in exclusive, bespoke content across Visa’s official platforms and brand channels, celebrating the joy of travel and highlighting her favorite memories and places in Asia Pacific.
