For years, the Castaway Music Festival has consistently showcased the pinnacle of OPM, cementing its reputation as one of North Luzon’s most anticipated summer traditions. The festival returns to the SM City Pampanga Amphitheater on April 25, 2026, headlined by Tarsier Records’ breakout artist Maki, who is set to embark on his Kolorcoaster World Tour this June. Joining the roster are emo rock legends Typecast, fresh off their massive 25th Anniversary World Tour with Urbandub, the Baguio-based indie rock favorites, Dilaw, and celebrated singer-songwriters Angela Ken and Rangel.

The 2026 edition also shines a spotlight on the next generation of talent with performances from newly launched P-pop groups FINA and DNA. Notably, DNA will be performing their latest single, “Gala To The Max,” which has gained significant traction as the official summer promotional anthem for SM Supermalls. The diverse lineup is rounded out by rising acts It All Started In May, Barabbas, and Aios, ensuring a dynamic mix of genres from rock and indie to pop and acoustic melodies.
