MANILA, Philippines - There’s nothing quite like finding out that some of your all-time favorite bands are going on tour, more so playing at the same music festival along with other amazing acts.
But what often follows is a sinking feeling in your chest brought on by the painful realization that seeing them live means dropping some serious cash to fly a thousand miles away. Not this time. A whole new music festival in Manila is set to go head-to-head with its international counterparts. Prepare to dive into great music and so much more at the GoodVybes Fest.
Headliners Passion Pit, Chvrches and Oh Wonder, along with artist to watch Tenderfist from Kuala Lumpur and international DJs Busy P, Darius and MYD, as well as local favorites Kjwan, Brigada, Brisom, Moonwlk, Assembly Generals, Mulan, Samantha Nicole, Pelvis Relsey and The Sex Offender and BP Valenzuela are ready to amp up the GoodVybes on Feb. 20 at the Aseana Open Grounds. Tickets are now up for grabs at P7,500 for VIP; P5,500 (Gold); and P2,800 (Silver).
American indie-electronica band, Passion Pit, known for hits like Take A Walk and Carried Away will perform favorites from its hit album Gossamer and latest release Kindred.
Chvrches is the Glasgow-based synthpop band that charmed its way to the hearts of Filipinos in November 2014. Fans on social media clamored for its return and with much success. Chvrches is set to light the stage up once again with tracks off the recently-released sophomore album Every Open Eye, so get ready to dance the night away.
Oh Wonder is a pop duo from London with 2.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and 3.9 million views on YouTube.
GoodVybes Fest fuses fashion and fun into the mix with different booths and activities for everyone to enjoy. Walk down Food Market for the best festival grub you can dream of (sans the hefty price) to prepare for the wildest Water Gun Fight. Afterwards, take a dip in the pools scattered throughout the venue to cool off. Lounge around the Gaming Tent to kill time while waiting for your favorite act to perform. Or explore the glorious three-hectare festival space to find the perfect spot for an #OOTD. There’s also free WiFi, so you can upload all the pictures you want.
