Globe is elevating the Pinoy festival experience with its 4th G Music Fest on September 16 at the Ayala Circuit Makati Open Grounds. As part of the much-anticipated annual G Day celebration, this year’s event promises an unforgettable blend of music, creativity, and technology, all while championing sustainability.

With this comeback, G Music Fest transforms itself into a music and creator festival where music meets creativity, old meets new, and where digital meets real.

Attendees will be treated to performances from G Music Fest’s first-ever all-local lineup, a dynamic mix of OPM legends and rising stars in partnership with Warner Music and Sony Music. The festival boasts a stellar all-Filipino lineup of artists such as Urbandub, The Itchyworms, December Avenue, I Belong To The Zoo, Lola Amour, Dilaw, Bini, PLAYERTWO, Paul Pablo, Sugarcane, Mayonnaise, Ace Banzuelo, Nobita, Munimuni, Joem, Syd Hartha, and Drag Race PH sure to give a musical experience that will resonate with every generation.

“Our vision for this year’s G Music Fest is to create a space where music, creativity, technology, and sustainability converge. We want to celebrate the rich tapestry of Pinoy talent while also showcasing the innovations that make such celebrations possible,” said Peter Ramirez, Globe Rewards Senior Manager and G Day Program Lead.

Diving deeper into the realm of creativity and community building, the Creator Hub is set to be another festival highlight. Visitors can immerse themselves in DIY experiences, including a Live Mural Show, Gudi Drip Studio, and a Busker Stage. The paint-and-sip activity through Drip Splash also promises a fusion of art and relaxation, making it a must-try for all.

The festival aims to push the boundaries of digital art, offering everyone a chance to interact with installations such as Sketch To Life, the Digital Art Tunnel, Caption Cam, and the Immersive Art Cube, celebrating the fusion of art and technology.

G Music Fest will showcase the future of technology with Globe’s 5G applications. Guests may also enjoy immersive AR/VR games via 5G Pixel Play. Partnerships with brands like BENCH and MYX Global will further elevate the experience, offering engagements like the DJ lounge.

While enjoying the music, festival-goers can also indulge in a gastronomic journey with a diverse range of food options that will be available at the event: Better Than Ice Cream (BTIC), Kurimu, Pocofino, Jamba Juice, Pancake House, Yellow Cab, Pickup Coffee, Shakeys, and Army Navy. Plus, with official alcohol partners Coca-Cola and San Miguel Brewery, the festivities are sure to be in high spirits.

G Music Fest also aims to set a new standard in implementing sustainable practices in events. Not only does it aim to limit the use of single-use plastics among vendors, but it is also promoting a BYO (Bring Your Own) initiative for festival-goers, with water refilling stations brought by Klean Kanteen scattered across the venue.

Globe also formed a collaboration with Ayala Logistics through Integrated Waste Management, Inc. (IWM), to ensure proper waste segregation, collection, and post-processing with priority for diverting wastes away from landfills through recycling and recovery, as well as deploying gender-neutral and water-efficient portalets.

Festival-goers will also have a cleaner transport choice with Globe deploying electric shuttles to and from the venue through its official shuttle partner, Global Electric Transport (GET). Pickup points will be at Alabang Town Center, One Ayala, and TriNoMa starting 10:00AM.

Join G Music Fest on September 16 in celebrating passions, creativity, and connections. It’s a day of music, art, and memories you won’t want to miss.

Globe Celebrates 917 with an #ExtraGDay

Leave a comment

The iconic 0917 is now more than just a mobile prefix for Globe subscribers. Over the past years, Globe has taken 0917 or September 17 as an opportunity to treat its customers to exciting experiences, rewards, and surprises. It is one way that Globe thanks its customers for their loyalty and support, a celebration that transforms ordinary days into something extraordinary.

This year, Globe is back with a bigger, larger than life 917 GDay celebration full of all things EXTRA for the whole month of September. The focal point of this year’s 917 GDay celebrations is the G Music Fest, which will take place on September 17, 2022. The G Music Fest is going to be an exciting whole day festival that will feature the best talents in music, entertainment, culture and art. This year’s G Music Fest will be a hybrid event, with the live experience hosted at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds, Ayala Malls Circuit, Makati, and also streamed online through Globe VH Metaverse.

“The past couple of years have been incredibly challenging for everyone. Now that the world is slowly opening up and we can enjoy life together face-to-face, we’re excited to once again bring all the uplifting, lighthearted experiences that our loyal customers may have been missing and needing,” said Globe Marketing Head Pia Colby.

Seventeen local and international acts are slated to entertain live and online audiences, including Thai indie-pop, neo-soul singer-songwriter Phum Viphurit and Kpop act BugABoo, a six-member South Korean girl group, for whom the G Music Fest will be their first live Philippines performance. Other confirmed musical acts are homegrown talents The Juans, Kaia, Matthaios, Unique, I Belong to the Zoo, JOEM, Lola Amour, Arthur MIguel, Paul Pablo and many more surprise guests.

As the G Music Fest is about extraordinary experiences, Globe has also invited celebrated contemporary artist-designer Leeroy New, to showcase his larger-than-life art installations. New, who hails from General Santos City, has had his works showcased at, among others, the Singapore Biennale, Fukuoka Asian Art Triennial, and more recently at Palais de Tokyo, Biennale of Sydney, Honolulu Triennale, and Somerset House. He was also selected to build an installation for Burning Man 2020. Another artist who will share his talent is TRNZ, who ventures into the world of NFTs. His past work has been exhibited in Hong Kong, Europe, South Korea, Jakarta, Los Angeles & New York, with an upcoming exhibition in Paris. TRNZ is the exclusive artist of Superordinary Friends, a collection of unique avatars each holding iconic food items. These limited edition illustrations combine quirky visual appeal with nuanced storytelling and will be launched in October.

Adding to the excitement, festival goers will also have the chance to own their first Non-Fungible Token (NFT) through Globe’s partnership with MetaverseGo!. The two brands have joined forces to create Gudi, a unique NFT in celebration of 917 #ExtraGDay and can be redeemed using Globe Rewards points.

Complementing the top-tier musical line-up and larger-than-life installations on the festival grounds is Globe Passion City where festival goers can use their Globe Rewards Points to enjoy fun & immersive Gaming (GGWP), Korean (Kmmunity Ph) and Anime (Sugoi Society) activities and merch collections.

Digital natives will also get to enjoy exciting activity booths and win vouchers from their favorite apps TikTok, Tinder, foodpanda, Kumu, and many others. Specially curated festival grub and pours, and exclusive 0917 merchandise are also available for guests to enjoy.

These are just some of the wonderful things one can expect at this year’s G Music Fest, and Globe still has a lot more surprises up its sleeve. Now in its third year, G Music Fest was born during the pandemic to inspire optimism and recognize every Globe customer’s continued patronage of the brand. Past performers include American pop rock band LANY, and proudly homegrown talents Kiana Valenciano, Ben & Ben, UDD, and SB19 among others.

“A lot of things have changed since the pandemic hit, but a lot of things have remained the same. We continue to be grateful to our customers and we’ll never tire of making wonderful, extraordinary experiences for them. We look forward to meeting everyone at the G Music Fest on 9-17, and we promise you an #ExtraGDayEveryday,” Colby added.

The G Music Fest Festival Pass pre-selling period is from September 2 – 9, 2022 and the regular sale period is on September 10 – 17, 2022. Festival Passes may be redeemed for just 15 Globe Rewards Points via the Globe One app or a special price of P917.00 via Tickelo during the pre-selling period, and 30 Globe Rewards Points via the Globe One app or P1,500.00 via Tickelo during the regular sale.
