Cup of Joe brought joy to the first night of their 3-day “Stardust” concert at the Araneta Coliseum, Cubao on October 10, 2025. With a “mission” theme to different planets, they took fans on an interstellar journey with music and colorful visual effects.
The stage became a galaxy with the help of LED screens, while the audience's LED bracelets changed color for each planet they visited — Crimson, Ivory, Pink, Green, and Blue. There was a 360-degree stage setup with rotating planets, so fans could feel the show's cinematic vibes even more.
At Crimson Planet, the band sang favorite songs like “Silakbo,” “Cinderela,” “Tataya,” and “’Wag Na Lang.” Coming to Ivory Planet, with Janine Teñoso, they sang “Mananatili,” “Tingin,” “Hulaan,” and “Ikaw Pa Rin My Choice.” According to Gian Bernardino and Rapha Ridao, Stardust is a tribute to their friendship and the fans who tirelessly support them.
At Pink Planet, they sang “Stranger” and “Sagada.” Everyone was surprised when they joined in on “Bagsakan” with Gloc-9, while each member also sang “Iris” by the Goo Goo Dolls. Here, the band showed off their versatility, much to the delight of the crowd.
On Green and Blue Planet, the mood is more emotional in the songs “Bubog,” “Pahina,” “Sandali,” “Multo,” and “Patutunguhan.” The band's message: “Feelings must be validated in order to heal.” They also emphasized that despite chaos and pain, everyone has stardust that will remain. In the end, Cup of Joe thanked their fans: “You are every star on every planet in our galaxy.”
The sold-out concert will continue until Sunday. Tickets priced from ₱1,500 to ₱6,500 sold out quickly.
