“It just keeps getting bigger.”

This was the enthusiastic statement of ABS-CBN Managing Director of Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Kai V. Rodriguez when she shared the big news that major stars from the United Kingdom will not only appear, but will actually perform at the giant “ASAP 20 Live in London” set for September 6, Sunday, at The SSE Arena Wembley.

ABS-CBN Europe Ltd officially announced today that the legendary British band Spandau Ballet, acclaimed British classical crossover vocal group Blake, and nine cast members of Filipino descent of Cameron Mackintosh’s new production of Claude-Michel Schönberg and Alain Boublil’s Miss Saigon in London’s West End will be special guests of this major Filipino event produced by ABS-CBN Corporation and ABS-CBN’s The Filipino Channel (TFC) in Europe.

“You’d think that celebrating the 20th anniversary of the Philippines’ longest-running, top-rating live musical variety show at a venue as historic as The SSE Arena Wembley with scores of the biggest Filipino stars is already as grand as it could get. But the participation of some of the biggest international acts in this event raised the exitement and expectations even multiple notches higher. ABS-CBN and TFC’s collaboration with these respected performers in UK underscores the world-class nature of ‘ASAP 20 Live in London’. This is a Filipino-driven entertainment showcase of the highest level. Filipinos in Europe and all over the world can truly be proud of this milestone,” explains Rodriguez.
