The &FRIENDS Festival returns to Okada Manila on June 19–20, 2026, positioning itself once again as one of the Philippines’ premier electronic dance music (EDM) events with a large-scale lineup spanning global headliners, regional acts, and a strong showcase of Filipino talent.
This year’s festival is led by major international names including Galantis, Porter Robinson, Subtronics, Yellow Claw, Adventure Club, and Aiobahn, alongside a wide roster of supporting artists across three stages. The two-night event is expected to feature more than 60 performers and a mix of mainstream, melodic, and underground electronic genres.
A key highlight of the 2026 edition is its emphasis on Filipino and diaspora artists taking center stage. Acts such as Alan Shirahama, Ian Asher, Seduza, Tye Turner, Marc Marasigan, and L.A are featured prominently, underscoring the growing global presence of Filipino talent in electronic music.
The festival is structured across three stages: the Main Stage, Club Stage, and the new Friendship Stage. The Main Stage hosts headline performances, while the Club Stage focuses on deeper, underground sets running into the early hours. The Friendship Stage introduces label and collective takeovers from across Asia, reinforcing the event’s collaborative and community-driven identity.
Night 1 is headlined by Porter Robinson and Subtronics, while Night 2 closes with Galantis and Yellow Claw, both nights designed to deliver high-energy sets paired with large-scale production.
Ticket prices range from PHP 5,800 for single-day general admission to PHP 15,000 for VIP two-day passes, with barkada bundles also available for groups.
Organizers describe &FRIENDS Festival as more than a music event, framing it as a cultural gathering that highlights community, discovery, and the evolving identity of Southeast Asia’s electronic music scene, with the Philippines positioned as a central hub.
