The once-rising Arthur Nery consistently pushed boundaries in OPM since gracing Spotify’s first Radar Philippines lineup back in 2020. Six years later, with Nery now an established name, Spotify Premium gathered his top listeners for one October night in New Clark City Athletics Stadium, culminating in an intimate performance with the artist.


Esquire Philippines got to the front seat to what could be a staple experience that could bridge the country's biggest artists to their most dedicated fans. What exactly went down in the very first Spotify 360 event? We’re here to recount the whole experience.


Spotify Premium wasted no effort in making sure the fan experience is memorable, even from the bus transportation from Quezon City going to the venue in Clark Global City. Inside the bus, Binhis were first greeted with a video message from Nery. Then a trivia game commenced where winners were given exclusive merch. After that, a recorded performance by Nery is played throughout the ride, priming the fans for the event yet to come.

Two floors of the New Clark City Athletics Stadium are dressed for the occasion. The first floor is a free-roam area that included a dedication wall for Nery and a booth where fans could write personal messages to him. A few of these messages are read by him on stage during his performance later that night. Free snacks were also served here.

The second floor housed a museum that documents Nery’s musical achievements from the release of his 2019 hit single “Binhi,” his aforementioned inclusion in Radar Philippines 2020, and the inclusion of “Pagsamo” as one of the top tracks in the Philippines in Spotify Wrapped 2022. Also documented are his covers in Spotify’s New Music Friday Philippines in December 2021, Hot Hits Philippines in April 2026, and Kalye in September 2025.

The main attraction took place in the middle of the stadium’s field. A marching band led the fans from the bleachers to the covered stage. Nery’s much-anticipated appearance was graced by the fans. He performed his well-known hits like “Binhi,” “Pagsamo,” and “Isa Lang.” Jolianne, a rising artist in her own right, pulled a surprise appearance before singing her and Nery’s hit collaboration “Palayo sa Mundo.”

“Standing in front of Binhis, who’ve made my songs part of their lives for years, is something else. Some of them have been with me since the very beginning,” shared Nery to Spotify.


Spotify Premium set a high bar for Spotify 360 with Arthur Nery. So much so that electricity continued coursing through the veins of Binhis, or at least through mine, hours after the ride home.


We can’t wait for what Spotify 360 has in store next.
