ITZY Concert in Manila — Travel Guide

Last verified: Mar 7, 2026 · Reviewed by KPopGo Travel Team

ITZY brings the Tunnel Vision World Tour to SM Mall of Asia Arena, situated inside one of Asia's largest shopping malls on Roxas Boulevard at the Manila Bay waterfront — a venue that doubles as a pre-show destination in itself, with 200+ dining options and the famous Manila Bay sunset views just outside. The Filipino MIDZY community is among the most passionate in Southeast Asia, and the arena's 20,000-capacity ensures an unforgettable atmosphere. Grab app is essential for Manila navigation; metered taxis should be avoided. July is monsoon season, so pack a compact umbrella, but Manila's energy, warmth, and world-class hospitality more than compensate. Stay in Pasay, Malate, or BGC for the safest and most convenient base.
