Prepare for an unforgettable celebration of pop culture and music as &FRIENDS Festival makes its debut in Manila, bringing together the world’s top creators and music artists on May 30 to June 1, 2025 in Parañaque.
Kicking off its star-studded lineup of guests is Grammy Award-winning artist Zedd. Known for chart-topping hits like Clarity, Stay, and The Middle, Zedd’s highly-anticipated return to the archipelago will be an unforgettable moment for fans in the Philippines.
The festival kicks off with &FRIENDS Music Night – Day 1 in the evening of May 30 – featuring a night of live EDM performances headlined by Zedd. &FRIENDS Music Night – Day 2 is set to follow the evening after on May 31 – boasting a variety of pop, rap and EDM acts alike, with its own headliner to be revealed soon.
Throughout the daytime of May 31 and June 1, the spotlight shifts to fan favorite creators, packed with events such as meet-and-greets, exclusive stage activities, interactive panels, and pop-up merchandise booths. The complete festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks, promising even more surprises leading up to the festival.
“&FRIENDS as a brand is a celebration of modern pop culture as a whole – gaming, music, lifestyle… and the creators and communities surrounding them,” says Justin Banusing, CEO of Clout Kitchen, the organizers of &FRIENDS Festival. “The Philippines is one of the epicentres of fandom in the world, and it just made sense to kick-off the brand here in the country where we started.”
