The clock is ticking toward the most awaited night of the year, and Newport World Resorts sets the stage for an epic New Year’s Eve celebration. The Grand Countdown to 2026 returns to light up the metro with showstopping performances, sumptuous feasts, major giveaways, and the signature energy that has made it one of the most iconic countdown traditions. The spotlight turns to world-class OPM icons as they usher in the New Year on one grand stage.

This year’s edition of The Grand Countdown presents a stellar lineup led by global and homegrown superstars. Get ready to celebrate with Jessica Sanchez, Sarah Geronimo, Bamboo, Matteo Guidicelli, Cup of Joe, Amiel Sol, Earl Agustin, Janine Teñoso, GAT, and Raya, hosted by Billy Crawford.

Fresh from her historic victory as the 2025 America’s Got Talent Grand Champion, Filipino-American powerhouse Jessica Sanchez takes center stage in her much-anticipated Manila homecoming performance.

Joining her is the Philippines’ Popstar Royalty, whose powerful vocals and hit-studded career have cemented her as one of the country’s most enduring music icons. Together, these two iconic voices lead a powerhouse cast that captures the very best of Filipino talent across genres and generations.

Adding their own spark to the grand celebration are some of OPM’s most dynamic performers. When Bamboo takes the stage, expect explosive performance and rock anthems that guarantee a show-stopping moment to welcome 2026. Matteo Guidicelli, with his charisma, adds suave showmanship to the night. Cup of Joe, the chart-topping Baguio-based pop band behind “Tingin” and “Multo”, brings their most viral hits to the ballroom.

Rising hitmaker Amiel Sol, whose single “Sa Bawat Sandali” topped local and global OPM charts, and Earl Agustin, the neo-soul breakout behind the viral “Tibok”, deliver fresh sounds for the new year. The evening’s emotional high points come from singer-songwriter and hitmaker Janine Teñoso, whose timeless ballads continue to define the soundtracks of Philippine cinema.

The night heats up with P-Pop’s next generation taking the spotlight. GAT, a five-member boy group championing “Gawang Atin ’To,” brings their explosive choreography and charisma to the stage. RAYA, the fierce nine-member girl group behind “Bongga Ka Day” and “Bling,” follows with a performance bursting with confidence and flair. Together, they turn up the energy and excitement at the country’s grandest countdown celebration.

Revelers will be served a world-class feast prepared by Newport World Resorts’ award-winning chefs. Spectacular endings and lucky beginnings await thousands of guests as they get a chance to win major prizes throughout the evening.
