Once again, the Big Dome was filled with thousands of people rising up their voices to God as the Planetshakers with Israel Houghton and New Breed rocked Manila last April 21, 2012! This sold out concert had people full of excitement and joy when they finally entered Araneta, rushing to their seats the moment doors opened. And who wouldn’t be excited with a collaboration between these two well-loved artists?

Following their concert last year, the Planetshakers teamed up with the well-loved multiple Dove award winner Israel Houghton & New Breed, for an Asian tour. This concert was also Israel Houghton’s first visit to the Philippines.

With 13,000 people on their feet, Israel Houghton & New Breed opened the night with their own version of “Awesome God”, transitioning smoothly for people to start grooving to the beats of “Again I Say”, “Everywhere I Go”, “You Are Good”, “Moving Forward”, “Say So” and other beloved songs.

Then the Planetshakers took the stage with their explosive song, “You Are Good”. The crowd was fired up as they sang the song with all their hearts and strength. The Planetshakers rocked the house with energetic, up-beat songs such as “Get Up”, “No Compromise”, and heartfelt worship songs like, “Heal Our Land” from their new album, “The Anthem” and more!

The most interesting surprise for the night was when Israel Houghton & New Breed merged together with the Planetshakers on stage, singing “Nothing is Impossible”. Not only that, both teams enjoyed playing together so much that they performed a drums- guitar-bass exhibition to entertain the crowd.

Israel Houghton tweeted right after the concert that, “It’s official!!! Manila is the loudest place we’ve ever been. @joelhouston and @christomlin were right!!!!”, tagging Hillsong United’s Joel Houston and Passion’s Chris Tomlin who previously held concerts in Manila. Israel Houghton also said that Manila has an “amazing heart for worship.”

Jumping high, singing out loud, and lifting up Jesus in every song they sang, these two bands truly led Manila to a new experience of God’s love and power that changed us from the inside out.
