Fête de la Musique Philippines returns for its 31st year with the theme “Un Monde” or One World, emphasizing music's incredible power to unite diverse cultures and bridge the Philippines to the world. Presented by Alliance Française de Manille alongside its partners, this free and open-to-all music festival has been a cornerstone of the Philippine music calendar, offering free live music performances across various stages and genres, spanning from Northern Luzon, across the Visayas, to Southern Mindanao. 

The theme for this year highlights the festival’s commitment to fostering international camaraderie and understanding through music, as it expands the spotlight to international acts and partners. 

“This is a cultural homecoming,” described Mathilde Séjourné, cultural counselor of the Embassy of France to the Philippines. “A moment for Filipinos to come together and global audiences to reconnect with the spirit of the Philippines and embrace the beauty of other unique cultural traditions.”

The Beat Manila got to attend the press launch on May 28 at the Long Bar in Raffles Makati, where we learned more about this year’s incredible artist lineup, special stages, and destinations where the musical events will take place. Here are the highlights:

After hearing a preview performance by singer Shanne Dandan and Filipino electronic duo Tarsius, we can assure you that this year’s festival will be even bigger and better than its predecessors. 

"We are incredibly excited to bring 'Un Monde' to life for our 31st Fête de la Musique celebration," said Xavier Leroux, Executive Director of Alliance Francaise de Manille. “This year, we aim to showcase how Filipino music resonates globally, truly making us all ‘One World’ through melody and rhythm.”

“This is more than a music festival,” added Mathilde. “Fête de la Musique is a celebration of connection, creativity, and culture. It is also a call to embrace our differences, honor our roots, and unite through the rhythms that bind us all.”
