Events + Music: Bandwagon Music Market



MUSIC brings us together, this has been a long known phenomenon which explains crowds of people from different walks of life coming together to sing, dance and get lost in music.

We have a growing independent music scenes and it is a pleasure to see this shared and celebrated, which is why Paul and I are excited to witness the upcoming BANDWAGON MUSIC MARKET which aims to feature not only upcoming local acts but amazing acts from Singapore as well.

It is Bandwagon's mission to connect people to music in Asia and give local music a bigger stage, wherever that may be in Asia, which is more than what you can expect from Bandwagon Music Market happening THIS SATURDAY at the Power MAC Center Spotlight.

Together with Circuit Makati, the Philippine arm of Singapore's biggest music media brand
promises a fun-filled day of excellent music, pop-up stores, great art, delicious food,
interesting games and many more.



The Bandwagon Music Market is an annual event by Bandwagon Asia, and is being brought to
the Philippines for the first time. Highlighting the natural talent of Filipinos in music, the
Bandwagon Music Market features the best of the local indie scene today. Musicians,
merchants and music lovers alike will be treated to the amazing performances of Oh,
Flamingo!, Beast Jesus, Tom's Story, Satchmi’s featured artist - Eyedress, BP
Valenzuela, Runway Crimes, Shadow Moses, Bullet Dumas and CRWN.

"Local music has been on a roll the past few years, we've carefully curated a line up which we
feel will also represent our country well on the regional level," says Camille, country
representative for Bandwagon Philippines. "We have consulted both the Singapore and
Philippine teams regarding the line up. Some of the Filipino artists we have on the line up
have already performed in Singapore. The rest are artists we can help push beyond the
Philippines."



True to their mission of connecting people to music in Asia, Bandwagon makes sure that this
one-of-a-kind event celebrates not only the best of local music, but the best of regional
music as well! Joining the already awesome lineup are one of Singapore's indie music
pioneer, singer-songwriter iNCH and Laneway alum, Syndicate's hip hop electronic
artist Intriguant.

Bandwagon has been a way for music artists and fans to find gigs, discover new artists and
read fresh content about music in Asia, with Manila being the first city outside Singapore to
experience what they have to offer.



"It has always been Bandwagon's goal to be the premier online music portal for Southeast
Asia, and we thought the Philippines was a good start," adds Camille. "We still have a long
way to of course but we're optimistic about what's to come. The music scene is so vibrant, so
alive. There's so much talent."

Bandwagon has been present in the Philippine music scene for over a year now, and aims to
do even more through unique, live music events, such as the Bandwagon Festival Bus
and the Bandwagon Riverboat. Recently, they have also expanded to Indonesia, giving
them presence in three countries now, with Singapore as their headquarters. Their mission
is to strengthen the relations of the music communities in cities where Bandwagon is
present.
