Filipino-Japanese RADAR artist ena mori brought her genre-defying pop to the Spotify .ORG Stage at Summer Sonic 2026, one of the world’s biggest music festivals as her audience continues to grow beyond the Philippines.
Since joining RADAR Philippines last year ena’s global streams have nearly doubled. The US, Japan, Canada, the UK, and Germany are now among her biggest markets outside the Philippines She performed alongside SB19 and BINI, marking the first time three Filipino acts performed at the festival in the same year, reflecting the growing international visibility of Filipino artists.

To see the journey from smaller stages to a moment like this, and to share it with so many of my fellow artists, is something I’m incredibly proud of. I feel very lucky to be here, and I’m especially grateful to my fans who continue to support me and my music,” ena mori. She opened with “KING OF THE NIGHT!” — a synth-pop track from DON’T BLAME THE WILD ONE!, “Ichigo Milk,” a collab with Japanese trackmaker Tomggg and high-energy “19 Underground.” As she performed, “little sunny baby,” she revealed that six years ago she’d written in her diary, “I hope I can play Summer Sonic someday,”
