Filipino artist live performances
Filipino singer Regine Velasquez has headlined concerts and performed live at award ceremonies and on television specials. Her first live television performance came when she competed in the reality television talent show "Ang Bagong Kampeon" (1984), which she won with a performance of George Benson's "In Your Eyes". She released her first single, "Love Me Again", in 1986, under the name Chona. Since adopting the stage name Regine Velasquez, she appeared in televised performances on "The Penthouse Live!" and "Triple Treat". She represented the Philippines at the 1989 Asia-Pacific Singing Contest, performing "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". She was a guest act for several performers, including Pops Fernandez, Kuh Ledesma, Martin Nievera and Gary Valenciano, and her debut concert, Regine at 17, was held at the Manila Midtown Hotel.
In 1990, Velasquez headlined Narito Ako, her first major concert, which was held at the Folk Arts Theater to promote her second studio album "Nineteen 90", and made her North American concert debut at Carnegie Hall in New York City—a first for an Asian solo artist. She signed an international record deal and released the studio albums "Listen Without Prejudice" (1994), "My Love Emotion" (1995) and "Retro" (1996). During this period, Velasquez performed live at various events across Southeast and East Asia, including an appearance as opening and closing act at the Yoshinogari Ruins Music Festival in Saga Prefecture, Kyūshū, Japan. In April 1996, Velasquez staged Isang Pasasalamat, a concert commemorating her ten-year career, at UPD's Sunken Garden.

She also performed a one-off concert at the Westin Philippine Plaza, which was recorded for her first live album, "" (2000). That year, she co-headlined a show called Celebration of Love with Peabo Bryson and Jeffrey Osborne.
Velasquez received the inaugural Favorite Artist Philippines award at the 2002 MTV Asia Awards and performed "Cry" with Mandy Moore to promote the theatrical release of Moore's film "A Walk to Remember". In April, at the National Museum of the Philippines, Velasquez headlined a benefit concert called One Night with Regine, which was a collaboration with ABS-CBN to benefit Bantay Bata Foundation's child abuse response fund. In the same year, she co-headlined Two for the Knight, a collaboration with Brian McKnight. In 2003, Velasquez collaborated with Michel Legrand and staged Songbird Sings Legrand at the PICC Plenary Hall. Later that year at Makati's Onstage Theatre, she headlined a twelve-date residency show named Songbird Sings Streisand, which was a tribute to Barbra Streisand.
At the Mall of Asia Arena in November 2012, Velasquez headlined Silver but the show was cut short after she lost her voice because of a viral infection—it was re-staged in January 2013. From 2013 to 2016, she co-headlined annual concerts at the Mall of Asia Arena: Foursome, Voices of Love, Ultimate and Royals. To promote her seventeenth studio album, "R3.0" (2017), she staged a two-night show at the Mall of Asia Arena. In 2020, in support of relief efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic, Velasquez curated virtual benefit concerts One Night with Regine for Bantay Bata Foundation and Regine: Joy From Home for Jollibee Group Food Aid.
