Produced by Alden Richards’ Myriad Entertainment and iMe Philippines, the upcoming two-day festival will feature a lineup of around 15 local artists and groups
MANILA, Philippines – Fans are up for a packed and memorable show as a new music festival gathers around 15 P-pop and OPM artists on one stage.
The two-day Wonderful Moments Music Festival aims to celebrate the flourishing local music scene and bring Filipino talent further into the limelight. It is set to happen on December 6 and 7.
The official lineup has yet to be announced, but will be made public by the event’s organizers soon.
Alden Richards, together with his company, Myriad Entertainment, will produce the festival, in partnership with iMe Philippines.
“Hindi po ako nag-o-overhype or anything, [but] the lineup for this concert is really huge,” Richards said, adding that they “carefully selected” the groups and artists, each coming from a different background to serve a variety of performances for the festival.
(I am not overhyping or anything, but the lineup for this concert is really huge.)
Aside from celebrating Filipino talent, the event hopes to set the stage for new opportunities for the featured performers.
“There’s a lot of reasons to highlight our country, but of course, hindi siya mangyayari kung walang magsisimula (it won’t happen if no one would spearhead it). So I think that’s [the vision] that we have right now, as a group, within this partnership,” Richards said during the contract signing on Monday, October 6.
The actor and producer added that they aim to produce the festival yearly as a “long-term plan,” hoping it becomes an event that Filipino music fans would look forward to.
Benelyn Emperado, the festival’s project head from iMe Philippines, said the festival also hopes to push P-pop and OPM further into the global spotlight.
“Hindi lang siya small-time na pagsisimula (It’s not just a small-time kickoff). Definitely, bringing it into the global [stage] is one of our next plans. This festival is like the start here in the Philippines,” Emperado said.
The two-day P-pop music festival in December will take place at SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City. The official lineup and ticket prices will be announced on its official social media pages. – Rappler.com
