Philippines to build ‘Taylor Swift concert-ready’ stadium in Clark by 2028

The Clark International Airport and Corp. (CIAC) announced that it’s eyeing to construct a stadium that can accommodate large concerts and performances from superstars such as Taylor Swift.

In an interview with reporters, CIAC President and chief executive officer Arrey Perez detailed that the stadium will be within “walking distance” from the Clark International Airport (CRK) in Pampanga.

It’s estimated to cost P32 billion to build and will measure around 40 hectares.

“When we had this vision to have the entertainment center sa Clark, we already did a lot of promotions, so market sensing, market visions, and we’ve gotten some interest,” Perez said

He added that those who are willing to invest are a mix of both local and international companies, with one coming from Singapore, one from the US, and one from the Philippines.

“Some are willing to join forces together. And when it comes to this project, it’s going to be a public-private partnership. It’s a huge undertaking, it’s forty hectares and more than P30 billion, so we will really need a partnership with the private sector to build the project,” Perez stated.

He also stated that they are attempting to court Taylor to perform in the stadium for its inaugural when it’s completed by 2028.

“Philippines has always been a music-loving industry, whenever there are international concerts, laging pumapatok, especially with Clark. Nandiyan ‘yung airport, it’s so easy to really watch when the facility is there,” he said.
