Pack your festival gear, and get ready to vibe out under the stars, one of the Philippines’ most iconic cultural shindigs — Malasimbo Music & Arts Festival — has just dropped its second wave of artists for the 2025edition!
This summer, the family-friendly extravaganza is returning in a big way with 13 hours of pure magic, on Mar. 8, 2025. The festival will be kicking off at 2 PM and rocking all the way 'til 3AM.
Malasimbo was always held in the stunning Puerto Galera, Oriental Mindoro. This year, however, the authentic celebration of the arts, environment, indigenous culture, and music has found a new home in Intramuros, City of Manila.
Leading the pack in the lineup is Nai Palm, the singer and guitarist from the Grammy-nominated Australian band HiatusKaiyote, bringing her neo-soul, genre-bending sounds. Joining her is the legendary Mike Love, the Oahu-based reggae maestro who’s making his triumphant return after his 2020 debut. And let’s not forget François K, the house music pioneer who’s worked with icons like Depeche Mode, Diana Ross, and U2.
Turntable wizard DJ Shortkut (a Filipino hip-hop legend), the funkadelic Laneous, and the groovy Tommy Sexton and the Suggestions are all set to light up the stage. Plus, the Selah Dub Warriors and Orange Juice Asia (a killer dance collective featuring DJs Marco Pedro, Shingen, and ManilaJunkie) will keep the beats fresh and the crowd moving.
Malasimbo’s music scene is as diverse as it gets, featuring a melting pot of electronic, jazz, reggae, hip-hop, soul, and everything in between.
Stay tuned for more updates on kids’ activities, jaw-dropping art installations, silent disco sessions, and more.
