YMidas Promotions proudly presents acclaimed New Zealand singer-songwriter Bic Runga, the voice behind the global hit “Sway”, as she performs in Manila for the very first time. This intimate, one-night-only concert will take place on October 1, 2026, at the SM City North Edsa Skydome.
Celebrated for her exceptional songwriting and enduring hit songs, Runga has built an acclaimed career spanning more than two decades, earning multi-platinum success and international recognition. Her timeless catalog includes beloved tracks such as “Sway”, “Drive”, “Listening for the Weather”, “Get Some Sleep”, and “Something Good”, songs that continue to resonate with audiences around the world.
Since the release of her first single ‘Drive’ in 1996, Bic Runga (Ngāti Kahungunu, Rongomaiwahine) has been awarded almost every musical honour in New Zealand, including the prestigious APRA Silver Scroll songwriting award.
Bic has won the most Tui Awards (New Zealand Music Awards) by any individual. She has won Best Female Vocalist four times and Best Producer three times. Bic’s debut album ‘Drive’ was certified seven times platinum and featured the enormous hit ‘Sway’. The follow up, ‘Beautiful Collision’ in 2002 was certified an incredible eleven times platinum and featured the hits ‘Get Some Sleep’, ‘Something Good’ and ‘Listening For The Weather’.
In January 2006, Runga was made a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit in the New Zealand New Year’s Honours List. In 2016 she was the recipient of the Legacy award at the New Zealand music awards and inducted into New Zealand Music hall of fame. Bic sits on the APRA board as a writer-director and on the executive committee of the Music Producers Guild New Zealand. 2023 featured a sold out tour across Aotearoa and Australia celebrating 20 years of ‘Beautiful Collision’, followed by tastemaker Rolling Stone Magazine honouring Bic with the Rolling Stone Icon award.
In February 2026, she returned with a new album ‘Red Sunset’, recorded in Paris in the winter of 2025. Bic’s gift has always been her ability to turn personal truths into shared experiences, inviting listeners into her gentle, thoughtful, and beautifully human world.
Sing-along to nostalgic favorites like “Sway”, “Drive”, and many more as Bic Runga brings her celebrated repertoire to the Philippine stage.
