We’re only a month away from the highly anticipated event, and it’s a lot to absorb. That’s a good thing. With digital culture and electronic dance music converging on Philippine grounds, we get to see our favorite artists and personalities live on stage. Personally, I am excited as well, since this is also the first festival I’ve ever played in, let alone away from home. And good gracious, it is in the capital!

Headlining the festival are globally recognized names such as Zedd, Euro Trash, Illenium, bbno$, and Seven Lions, guaranteeing high-energy performances. Beyond these established acts, AndFriends is dedicated to providing a platform for emerging artists from around the world. The festival offers a valuable opportunity for these rising stars to gain experience and showcase their talent on a significant stage.

Adding another dimension to the festival is the inclusion of popular VTubers and social media personalities from across the globe. Attendees can look forward to meeting and interacting with creators like Jimmy Zhang, Ironmouse, Shoto, Yskaela, Jujumao, Fred Liu, and Kenny Song, among others. This unique blend of music and digital content reflects the diverse interests of the Gen Z community.

AndFriends is more than just a music festival; it’s a lifestyle and events brand brought to you by Clout Kitchen. This startup focuses on developing unique, creator-powered technology and experiences. Their aim is to celebrate Gen Z pop culture, the creators who shape it, and the communities that rally around them. The AndFriends Festival serves as a connection point between East and West, bringing major international artists to Asia while simultaneously offering local up-and-coming talent a chance to shine on a global scale. Clout Kitchen, with headquarters in Los Angeles and Manila, is supported by prominent investors including a16z Games and AppWorks.
Adding to the excitement of Day 2 is a takeover by MIDNIGHT REBELS, featuring performances by yours truly, Jezrelle, TZN, Khim Custodio, and Kobeast. Furthermore, MIDNIGHT REBELS is hosting a DJ-Producer Competition, offering aspiring artists an incredible opportunity: the winners will secure a coveted slot to perform on the MIDNIGHT REBELS Stage at the AndFriends Music Festival.
