In the Philippines, it's festival season all the time. We have festivals for all sorts of things - thanksgiving, crop season, religion, and of course, music. In 2017, we had the mainstays - Karpos Multimedia's Wanderland, Puerto Galera's Malasimbo, and PULP Live World's annual PULP Summer Slam. Paradise International Music Festival (the one with Kanye West) took a break last year, but vowed to come back this 2018.
Here's everything you need to know about the music festivals happening in 2018.
