The Norwegian pop duo and childhood friends, Marit Larsen and Marion Ravn, posted on social media last Oct. 19 the announcement for their first headlining tour
titled, “The Better Endings Tour” set to kick off next year. No dates and cities were disclosed in the caption, only a purple world map poster with the Southeast Asian region — specifically the Philippines, Thailand, and
Indonesia shaded in pink.
“See you in three months and a hundred days (we’ve missed you in a thousand ways)! 💜,” the duo wrote, causing a celebration among their fans who were teased back in September when they reunited and performed an acoustic cover of their hit single, “The Day You Went Away.” The caption for the post said, “Let’s give this story a better ending…” Little did their fans know that it was already a tour easter egg.
On Oct. 19, they announced their stop in Manila which will take place on May 1, 2025, at the Araneta Coliseum. Tickets go on sale on Oct. 26 (12 PM PST) via TicketNet.ph. Tickets are priced at P5,800 (VIP), P5,300 (Patron A), P4,800 (Patron A), P3,800 (Lower Box A), P2,800 (Lower Box B), P1,800 (Upper Box B),and P900 (General Admission – *Free Seating).
M2M debuted in 1999 with their single “Don’t Say You Love Me,” which gave way to their album “Shades of Purple” a year later. It included some of their most beloved pop hits such as “Mirror Mirror” and “Pretty Boy” and sold over 1.5 million units worldwide. After their initial success, the duo parted ways in 2002 to pursue solo careers, which only left us wanting more and eager for a reunion.
