You know that feeling when a piece of home finds its way to you, no matter how far away you are? That’s exactly what happened when the Sparkle World Tour 2025 rolled into Canada! The streets of Toronto and Calgary transformed into a vibrant fiesta, all thanks to some of the Philippines’ most beloved stars.

It wasn’t just a concert; it was a homecoming. With a lineup that felt like a family reunion—featuring the comedy queen Ai-Ai delas Alas, the charismatic Ruru Madrid, the soulful Kyline Alcantara, and the hilarious Pepita Curtis—the energy was absolutely electric. Seeing these incredible artists on a global stage was a moment of immense pride for every Global Pinoy fan in the crowd.

The buzz was real, and the turnout was proof. From the moment the doors opened, you could feel the excitement radiating through the packed venues. It was a sea of faces, all united by a shared love for Pinoy talent and a deep connection to the Philippines. Ruru Madrid himself captured the feeling perfectly, saying, “Ibang klase yung saya at pagmamahal na binigay n’yo. Sa bawat kanta, sigaw, at tawa, ramdam ko na parang nasa Pilipinas pa rin tayo.” It’s that exact sentiment—that sense of being transported back home—that made this tour so special.

Kyline’s voice gave us chills, her performance was nothing short of breathtaking. And of course, Ai-Ai and Pepita brought down the house with their signature wit and infectious laughter, keeping the energy high and the smiles wide. Every single artist was visibly moved, genuinely touched by the warm welcome and the sheer volume of support they received. Their gratitude was a reminder of the powerful bond between them and their fans, no matter the distance.

The first leg of the Sparkle World Tour 2025 was more than a success—it was a powerful statement about the enduring connection that ties us all together. But the party isn’t over yet! Mark your calendars, because Canada is getting a second helping of this incredible tour in November. Get ready for more laughter and music as the hilarious trio of Boobay, Pepita Curtis, and Divine Tetay take the stage.
