Home is where the heart is, and what makes the Monster’s beat faster are good people and good music! This is exactly why we fit right in at the neighborhood of Wanderland: Music and Arts Festival, held last March 9 - 10 at the Filinvest City Festival Grounds.
Now on its ninth year, the annual event had international and local acts spanning different genres coming together for a weekend of amazing music, captivating live art, as well as an array of delicious food and drinks.
On Saturday, we jammed to the tracks of funk-pop band Lola Amour, math rock musician Gabba, jazz crooner Jose Miguel, indie group bird., pop artist ena mori, electric duo Cosmo’s Midnight, K-hip hop star Beenzino, electropop outfit Parcels, Korean indie/folk rock band Bosudong Cooler, and multi-instrumentalist Novo Amor. Day 1 was then capped off by surf rock singer-songwriter Jack Johnson, who celebrated music in a beautiful way - calling previous performers to join him on stage for a surprise treat for Wanderers!
SPOTTED: SJ Jelena of UPD & SJ Sash of UST
Day 2, meanwhile featured the performances of Bikolana singer-songwriter dwta, rising artist Paolo Sandejas, the experimental Party Pace, the soulful Jeff Bernat, young singer-songwriter grentperez, sultry K-Pop idol Hwasa, indie swooners The Walters, emerging Taiwanese singer and guitarist CLOUDRIVER, and critically-acclaimed musician PJ Morton. Breakbot & Irfane's live DJ set then had the crowd dancing their hearts out right before legendary virtuoso Thundercat took the stage and blew everyone’s mind with his set. Truly the most captivating way to end Wanderland 2024!
