TV5 kicks off New Year Countdown with artista search

MANILA, Philippines - TV5 continues to share “happy good vibes” this 2015 as it opens its doors to those who want to bare their dreams and enter stardom through a grand artista search happening at its New Year event, Happy sa 2015: The Philippine New Year Countdown.

If you think you have what it takes to become TV5’s next biggest artista, come and head to the Quezon Memorial Circle on Dec. 31 and prepare a minute-long performance of your best talent (sing, dance, rap, beat box, act, play musical instruments or any extraordinary performances) for the auditions. Registration starts at 10 a.m.

Come in your most impressive outfits and don’t forget to bring a valid ID. Lucky hopefuls will have a chance to be part of the Happy sa 2015 New Year Countdown main event in the evening.

The search is just one of the many things to watch out for in the spectacular New Year countdown. Live band shows, street performances and an LGBT parade will be held simultaneously along with the auditions. There will also be a series of on-ground games and activations, and lots of prizes to be given away.

In the evening, a star-studded New Year special concert will be hosted by Ogie Alcasid, Gelli de Belen, Alice Dixson and Derek Ramsay, featuring live performances from the hottest and most popular Kapatid talents and other special guests, including Wendell Ramos, Empoy, Tuesday Vargas, Alwyn Uytingco, Martin Escudero, Katrina “Suklay Diva” Velarde, Tom Taus, Akihiro Blanco, Chris Leonardo, Alberto Bruno, Marvelous Alejo, Chadleen, Talentadong Pinoy 2014 Ultimate Talentado Neil and other Hall of Famers, Philippine All Stars, Ritz Azul, Mark Neumann, Isabelle de Leon, Carl Guevarra, Gab Valenciano, Jasmine Curtis-Smith and Kuh Ledesma.

The event will conclude with the country’s longest and brightest New Year pyro-musical display and a 3D mapping show at the very heart of Quezon City — the iconic pylon at the center of the Quezon Memorial Circle.

Happy sa 2015: The Philippine New Year Countdown will be telecast at 10:30 p.m. live and is made possible with the network’s partnership with the Quezon City Government.
