New concert venue

MANILA, Philippines—Currently under construction in front of the Mall of Asia complex in Pasay, is a new concert venue which sources say, will be bigger than the Big Dome. The indoor venue, the same sources add, is tentatively called “SM Arena.” This is good news for concert promoters, but more so for the crowd who always have to endure sore legs whenever a show is staged at the so-called Mall of Asia concert grounds—actually a parking lot.
