Global InformationList of Lani Misalucha live performances information
Filipino singer Lani Misalucha has headlined numerous concerts in the Philippines and abroad. She is regarded as one of the most successful Filipino artist in live entertainment.[1] She came to prominence in 1996 following the release of her first single "More Than I Should" and competed at the Metropop Song Festival twice (1996 & 1999), winning the latter.[2] She represented the Philippines at the 3rd Asia Song Festival in 1998 and took home the "Best Interpreter" award for her performance. Less than five years since she pursued a singing career in the industry, she staged her first major solo concert Lani Misalucha: The Crossover Live Tour (2001) at the Araneta Coliseum.[3] It received praises from critics and audiences and became the twelfth recipient of the coveted "Entertainer of the Year" at the Aliw Awards.[4]
As an acclaimed entertainer, Misalucha has embarked on a great number of concerts in America, Middle East, Asia and Oceania. She has performed alongside musical artists such as Brian McKnight, Kenny Loggins, Sergio Mendes, Jim Brickman and Stephen Bishop.[5][6] In 2003, Misalucha was handpicked by Whitney Houston to join her in Japan for her first concert in Asia but had to withdraw due to her pregnancy.[7] She received further recognition as a performer in 2004 after headlining a string of concert series in Las Vegas and became the first Asian artist to headline in a main showroom in Vegas,[8] as well as the first Filipino musical artist to headline a six-month stint in Vegas.[9][10] In 2007, she was handpicked by Josh Groban to perform at his concert in Manila, as part of the Awake Tour.[11] In November 2009, Dionne Warwick and Mike Tyson attended her show at Hilton in Las Vegas.[12][13] American singer Gladys Night also attended one of her shows at Flamingo Hotel[14] while American music producer Joe Jackson was also a frequent attendee of her shows at the city.[14]
After concluding her successful concert runs in Las Vegas, she went back to the Philippines and staged a series of shows. In 2014, she headlined her first solo concert at the Big Dome in nearly seven years La Nightingale. In 2016, her two-night show Love Catcher took home the "Concert of the Year" at the PMPC Star Awards for Music.[15] She tied with Regine Velasquez for two consecutive years (2015-2016) at the Box Office Entertainment Awards as the "Female Concert Performer of the Year".[16] In 2017, she bagged the same honor at the PMPC Star Awards for Music for her performance in the Masquerade Concert[17] and was invited as one of the performers at the ASEAN Gala.[18] In the following years, two of her co-headlining concerts with Morissette (2018) and Martin Nievera (2019) have each won "Best Collaboration in a Concert" at the Aliw Awards.[19][20] In November 2019, she performed the Philippine national anthem at the 30th South East Asian (SEA) Games at the Philippine Arena.[21]
