Seventeen local and international acts will play at the hybrid G Music Fest on September 17. The concert is part of Globe's “917 GDay” celebrations.
Among the performers for the much-awaited event are Thai indie-pop, neo-soul singer-songwriter Phum Viphurit and Kpop act bugAboo – a six-member South Korean girl group, for whom the G Music Fest will be their first live Philippines performance.
Other confirmed musical acts are homegrown talents The Juans, Kaia, Matthaios, Unique, I Belong to the Zoo, JOEM, Lola Amour, Arthur Miguel, Paul Pablo and many more surprise guests.
“The past couple of years have been incredibly challenging for everyone. Now that the world is slowly opening up and we can enjoy life together face-to-face, we're excited to once again bring all the uplifting, lighthearted experiences that our loyal customers may have been missing and needing,” said Globe Marketing Head Pia Colby.
This year's G Music Fest will be a hybrid event, with the live experience hosted at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds, Ayala Malls Circuit, Makati, and also streamed online through Globe VH Metaverse.
Now in its third year, G Music Fest was born during the pandemic to inspire optimism and recognize every Globe customer's continued patronage of the brand. Past performers include American pop rock band LANY, and proudly homegrown talents Kiana Valenciano, Ben & Ben, UDD, and SB19 among others.
Culture and art
Meanwhile, Globe has also invited celebrated contemporary artist-designer Leeroy New, to showcase his larger-than-life art installations. New, who hails from General Santos City, has had his works showcased at the Singapore Biennale, Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial, and more recently at Palais de Tokyo, Biennale of Sydney, Honolulu Triennale, and Somerset House, among others. He was also selected to build an installation for Burning Man 2020.
Another artist who will share his talent is TRNZ, who ventures into the world of NFTs. His past work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Europe, South Korea, Jakarta, Los Angeles and New York, with an upcoming exhibition in Paris. TRNZ is the exclusive artist of Superordinary Friends, a collection of unique avatars each holding iconic food items. These limited-edition illustrations combine quirky visual appeal with nuanced storytelling and will be launched in October.
Adding to the excitement, festival goers will also have the chance to own their first Non-Fungible Token (NFT) through Globe's partnership with MetaverseGo!. The two brands have joined forces to create Gudi, a unique NFT in celebration of 917 #ExtraGDay and can be redeemed using Globe Rewards points.
Complementing the top-tier musical line-up and larger-than-life installations on the festival grounds is Globe Passion City where festival goers can use their Globe Rewards Points to enjoy fun and immersive Gaming (GGWP), Korean (Kmmunity Ph) and Anime (Sugoi Society) activities and merch collections.
Digital natives will also get to enjoy exciting activity booths and win vouchers from their favorite apps TikTok, Tinder, foodpanda, Kumu, and many others. Specially curated festival grub and pours, and exclusive 0917 merchandise are also available for guests to enjoy.
“A lot of things have changed since the pandemic hit, but a lot of things have remained the same. We continue to be grateful to our customers and we'll never tire of making wonderful, extraordinary experiences for them. We look forward to meeting everyone at the G Music Fest on 9-17, and we promise you an #ExtraGDayEveryday,” Colby added.
The G Music Fest Festival Passes may be redeemed for 30 Globe Rewards Points via the Globe One app or P1,500 via Tickelo for the regular sale.
