Set to take over Okada Manila on May 30 and 31, 2025, &FRIENDS Festival promises an immersive experience where music, digital creators, and pop culture converge.
Designed as more than just a concert, the event blends high-energy performances with curated fan zones, interactive installations, and a vibrant community atmosphere.
Leading the festival lineup is Grammy-winning producer Zedd, known for the global hit “Clarity,” a track that continues to resonate with audiences years after its release.
Joining him are Illenium, celebrated for his emotionally layered electronic sets, and BBNO$, whose playful, genre-blurring rap style has made him a standout in the internet music scene. Returning to Manila is Filipina-Australian artist Ylona Garcia, bringing with her a bold new sound and unmistakable stage presence.
Additional acts include genre-blending DJ Seven Lions, the chaotic and entertaining duo Euro Trash, and rising talent Kiara, with more performers still to be announced.
While the artist lineup draws the spotlight, the heart of the festival lies in its energy — a shared space where creativity, connection, and sound collide.
Beyond the Main Stage
The experience goes far beyond the music. &FRIENDS Festival will feature themed areas inspired by gaming, anime, K-culture, and internet fandom, offering attendees a chance to explore, interact, and create moments beyond the stage.
From bold installations to exclusive merch and cosplay-ready corners, every element of the venue is designed to celebrate self-expression and modern digital culture.
Attendees can expect a diverse crowd — from streetwear enthusiasts to anime fans to content creators — each adding to the electric atmosphere.
Whether there for the music, the creators, or the cultural crossover, festival goers will find themselves in the middle of something both exciting and uniquely expressive.
