Looks like concert-going Cosmo chicks are in for a treat (or five) this August and September! A lot of Cosmo chicks have been jonesing to see Adam Levine in the flesh once again as Maroon 5 return to Manila on September 18. American Idol fans have also marked their calendars for September 21--the date when Jessica Sanchez, Phillip Phillips, and the rest of the Season 11 crew hit Manila.
August, too, has a solid lineup of shows to offer, with pop sensation Nelly Furtado and rap-rock collective Gym Class Heroes and rock bands The Smashing Pumpkins and Snow Patrol all set to storm the stage.
As a bonus, the Smart Araneta Coliseum's The Big Dome undergoes an extreme transformation, with a brand-new facade, pimped out interiors, and a new parking building located right beside the coliseum to boot. With even better viewing pleasure, expect your inner fan girl to go absolutely mental.
