TOUR RECAP: BENEATH THE SAME SKY UK AND EUROPE

DECEMBER AVENUE IN PARIS 2026

Every city we’ve been to felt like home.

We brought a piece of ourselves into each place, and in return, it was given back to us in ways we didn’t expect. In the crowd, in the silence before a song starts, in the way people sang along even miles away from where these songs were written.

It still feels surreal.

To stand in places we once only dreamed of. To play our music there. To see it connect.

We were away for 29 days. Moving from one city to another. Exploring streets we’ve never walked before. Meeting new people. Making new friends. Tasting food we’ve never tried. Taking in cultures that felt unfamiliar at first, but slowly became something we could understand.

Somewhere along the way, the team grew closer.

Long days. Tight schedules. Moments in between shows

. It all added up. It made us stronger. More aligned. More certain of what we carry as a band.

And that same passion found its way into every stage we stepped on.

We were also lucky enough to carry OPM into some of these cities for the first time. That means something. Not just for us, but for the artists coming after. Hopefully, this opens doors. Hopefully, it shows that our music can travel, that it belongs in these spaces too.

THE CLAPHAM GRAND, LONDON CROWD.

We expected most of the crowd to be Filipinos. That was the assumption. But stepping into these venues and seeing how diverse the audience was changed that. Different faces, different backgrounds, all in the same room, connected to the same songs. That was unexpected. And something we’re proud of.

Each night felt different, but the core stayed the same. The reason we do this. The connection. The exchange.

By the time we reached Barcelona, it didn’t feel like an ending. Just a point in the journey where everything made sense.

A full circle.

Under the same sky, in different parts of the world, we found the same feeling.

To all our production, venues, staff, sponsors, friends who showed up, fans who traveled a long way, our Dec Ave crew and management, and our promoter Emerge Entertainment — thank you for carrying this with us.

And we’re taking that home with us.
