Ben&Ben expands The Traveller Across Dimensions universe

Paolo Benjamin with the characters of the TTAD lore in plushie form

In celebration of the first anniversary of the release of The Traveller Across Dimensions (TTAD) concept album, the country’s biggest folk-pop band Ben&Ben is taking it to the next level by releasing various album tie-in materials and merchandise to bring the album to life.

The 2025 Awit Awards Album of the Year honoree was released on November 29, 2024, and went on to produce a number of hits such as “Autumn,” “Could Be Something,” and “Triumph,” which received the Best Performance by a Group Artist nod from the same awards program.

They mounted the first TTAD concert on December 14, 2024, playing to a sold-out crowd at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The show was packaged as an animation-concert hybrid that combined live music and animation to tell the story of Liwanag, the album’s titular character. Since then, the band has brought the show to various parts of the country, including Cebu City, Bacolod City, Baguio City, Davao City, and Cagayan de Oro City, with the last stop for the year happening in Iloilo City on December 7.

SM Cinema Drive-in opens in Mall of Asia for #SafeAndFunMovieWatching

 

For film fans and cineastes, enjoy movie-going once again from the comforts of your car as SM Cinema makes #SafeAndFunMovieWatching possible with ‘Movies by the Bay’ at the Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, Block 16 starting September 9, 2020. 

Knowing how much movie-loving Pinoys miss watching movies on the big screen, and following the successful launch of the drive-in cinema in Pampanga last July, SM Cinema gives its patrons in the metro the chance to experience its newest out-of-home entertainment—a cool throwback to the good old days of drive-in theaters!

SM Cinema’s “Movies by the Bay” allows guests to watch movies while observing social distancing rules set by the InterAgency Task Force (IATF). It will be open to the public on Wednesdays to Sundays, with one screening daily at 6:45 PM.
