Subtronics, Yellow Claw, Bonnie X Clyde, ARMNHMR, Ian Asher, Seduza, and Tye Turner are billed for &FRIENDS Festival 2026 at Okada Manila.

Asia’s festival circuit is having a major moment, and Manila is quickly emerging as one of the region’s premier destinations for electronic music. Long recognized as a hub for cultural tourism, nightlife, and entertainment, the Philippine capital is continuing to expand its presence on the global map. Returning to the spotlight this summer is &FRIENDS Festival, a two-day event set for June 19-20 at Okada Manila.

Co-presented by Collective Minds, the indoor festival at Entertainment City in Parañaque will deliver a fully air-conditioned experience housed within a luxury resort. Headlining the celebration are Galantis, Porter Robinson, Subtronics, and Yellow Claw, promising bass-driven euphoria, melodic drops, and everything in between. Joining them for a luxurious festival weekend are a stack of top-tier acts, including Adventure Club, Arcando, Bonnie X Clyde, ARMNHMR, and CHYL, each bringing their own distinct energy and sound to the dancefloor.

Beyond the international headliners, the festival places a strong emphasis on spotlighting Asian and local artists. Representing the Philippines are rising talents Ian Asher, Seduza, and Tye Turner, all of whom reflect the expanding Filipino diaspora within dance culture. Regional representation runs deeper from there as the bill also includes South Korean producer Alobahn, Filipino-Japanese artist Alan Shirahama, Malaysian act Smooth Brain Girly, and Singapore favorites WUKONG and KIARA.

In addition, the Friendship Stage will further reinforce the festival’s regional focus by spotlighting local collectives like Orange Juice Asia, Planet Workshop, Contrast, and RAW. It will also provide a platform for regional label Sweet & Sour, whose roster draws from Bangkok, Singapore, Japan, and Korea.

Last year, the &FRIENDS Festival Halloween edition was a breakout success, making history as the first regional EDM festival built around a fully Asian EDM headliner lineup. Led by KNOCK2 and supported by BEAUZ, Dabin, Sabai, and Y3LLO, the event highlighted the rising prominence of Asian artists in EDM.

This June, the festival is set to raise the bar further. Beyond the music, attendees can look forward to high-end amenities, an elevated dining experience, and premium entertainment options. The end result looks to be a memorable weekend that positions Manila not simply as a festival stop but a world-class entertainment destination in its own right.
