MANILA, PHILIPPINES — &FRIENDS Festival, co-presented by Collective Minds, announces the complete lineup for its June 19-20, 2026 edition at Okada Manila—transforming the five-star integrated resort into Southeast Asia’s most ambitious indoor electronic music destination. With over 60 artists across three purpose-built stages, world-class amenities, and air-conditioned luxury throughout, &FRIENDS Festival offers international travellers a festival experience unlike any other in the region.
Not Your Average Destination Festival
While most major festivals—no matter how large or prestigious—contend with outdoor limitations like heat, humidity, and basic facilities, &FRIENDS Festival has partnered with Okada Manila to deliver something entirely different: a fully air-conditioned indoor festival experience set within a Forbes five-star integrated resort.
“We are an indoor festival that works together with the resort to provide world-class amenities for our audience,” Festival Marketing Lead, Edward Cheang explains. “Many festivals have quality-of-life limitations. Working with Okada really helps us handle that with air-conditioned rest spaces and toilets that are regularly managed by resort staff throughout the property.”
Located in Entertainment City, Parañaque, Okada Manila spans 30 hectares of Japanese excellence blended with Filipino hospitality, featuring 993 lavish rooms, the world’s largest multicolour dancing fountain, Cove Manila indoor beach club, a sprawling casino, and numerous high-end dining options. For international travellers, the resort offers hotel packages, VIP experiences, and exclusive festival amenities that transform a weekend of music into a complete luxury getaway.
“We aim to provide a different festival experience for the typical festival attendee,” Cheang continues. “From the music we book—which has a strong American EDM lean—to the location we host the festival in, being an indoor EDM festival held at a resort hotel, it’s really about giving festival attendees the best experience possible.”
Why Choose Manila?
As Bangkok and Bali become increasingly oversaturated and expensive, Manila emerges as Southeast Asia’s most compelling alternative—offering world-class electronic music, luxury resort amenities, vibrant cultural experiences, and exceptional value. &FRIENDS Festival pricing remains competitive with regional festivals like S20 Songkran Music Festival, World DJ Festival Japan, and Together Festival Thailand, while delivering an indoor, climate-controlled experience unmatched anywhere in the region.
Beyond the festival, Manila offers international visitors a rich tapestry of culture, cuisine, nightlife, wellness, and exploration—from historic Intramuros and contemporary art galleries to world-class dining, rooftop bars, and day trips to Tagaytay’s volcanic landscapes. It’s a destination that rewards curiosity, and &FRIENDS Festival serves as the perfect anchor for an extended Southeast Asian adventure.
The Lineup: Global Icons Meet Regional Rising Stars
Headlining the festival are four of electronic music’s most commanding forces:
Galantis—the Swedish dance powerhouse behind platinum-certified anthems “Runaway (U & I)” (Grammy-nominated) and “No Money” (top-10 in 23 countries), with over 7.3 billion cumulative streams.
Porter Robinson—the American producer whose album Worlds redefined EDM, followed by Grammy-nominated Virtual Self and critically acclaimed Nurture. His 2024 SMILE! 😀 world tour spanned five continents and 70+ dates, including a stop in Manila—making his return to the Philippines at &FRIENDS Festival deeply meaningful for Southeast Asian fans.
Subtronics—the Philadelphia bass music titan who became the highest-selling North American electronic touring act in 2023 (Pollstar mid-year), earned DJ Mag North America’s DJ of the Year, and made his Coachella debut in April 2026 fresh off his album FIBONACCI.
Yellow Claw—the Dutch DJ/production duo whose billion-streamed catalogue blends trap, hip-hop, dubstep, and hardstyle. Their fifth studio album Jesus Loves Trap Music (February 2026 via Barong Family) is built for blown-out speakers and mainstage mayhem.
Phase Two Powerhouses:
Adventure Club (Grammy-nominated Canadian duo) make their long-awaited Philippines debut with their signature melodic dubstep sound honed across EDC, Ultra, and Bonnaroo mainstages.
Alan Shirahama—leader of GENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE, DJ Mag Top 100 DJ, and Philippines Tourism Ambassador (born to Filipino mother and Japanese father)—delivers one of the festival’s most culturally resonant performances.
Aiobahn—the South Korean producer whose anime-inspired future bass and hard-hitting electronic production (via Monstercat) make his Philippines debut one of the weekend’s most anticipated Club Stage sets.
Filipino Excellence on the Global Stage: Three Filipino American artists represent the diaspora’s growing footprint in global electronic music:
Ian Asher (Filipino-American)— renowned for his remix of Jain’s ‘Makeba’ that garnered hundreds of millions of streams, an international festival circuit veteran, and is returning home to Manila.
Seduza (Filipina-Chinese American)—signature cat ears, fearless genre-crossing sets (trap/future bass/Jersey club/house), Coachella and Head in the Clouds alumna, toured with Alesso and Steve Aoki.
Tye Turner (Filipino Australian)— well known for his explosive stage presence, especially with his Australian collective SYBER, showcasing their inimitable global beats sound all across the world.
Regional Representation:
“Even with a strong set of international headliners, we do our part to bring in regional acts that are movers and shakers in their own communities around Asia,” organizers emphasize. “Our lineup includes Malaysian act Smooth Brain Girly, one of Malaysia’s largest and fastest-growing DJs. From Singapore we have WUKONG and KIARA. On our Friendship Stage, we work together with local collectives Orange Juice Asia, Planet Workshop, Contrast, RAW, and regional music label Sweet & Sour, bringing in acts from Bangkok, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.”
The festival’s Halloween 2025 edition positioned &FRIENDS as the first Asian EDM festival with a full Asian EDM headliner lineup, led by Laotian American artist KNOCK2 and supported by BEAUZ, Dabin, Sabai, and Y3LLO—a commitment to Asian representation that continues in 2026.
