The journey has begun as the road to BLACKOUT starts with a kickoff on December 15, 2024, at Bridgetown Central Park, Pasig City.
Join Josh Cullen, KAIA, Sharlene San Pedro, and more in BLACKOUT: The Kickoff. It’s #NotJustAFestival as it combines music, arts, and gaming into one night of passion and community. Its aim isn’t to be the best event of the year but to simply bring together industries into one night where guests can blackout the world and be their unapologetic selves.
The Kickoff Elevates the Rise of P-POP, OPM, and Rising Artists
The P-POP wave is headlined by SB19 member Josh Cullen. He is joined by girl groups KAIA, YARA, DIONE, and CALISTA. Among the lineup are rising boy bands NEW:ID, 1ST.ONE, and 6ENSE.
Meanwhile, the OPM lineup consists of triple-threat Sharlene San Pedro, alongside As Far As We Know, Marvin Ivan, Daniel Paringit, AVI, and PAHAM. The after-party will then be led by Benj Miranda with his band of DJs: Bandit, Sigrid, Victor Pring, Rolf, Chavo, and Xayah.
The BLACKOUT lineup consists of specially handpicked artists that represent the rise of a genre to further grow the community and spread the expanding music industry. As the night is serenaded by the rising stars, guests are also encouraged to try the various art and gaming experiences provided by sponsors and partners.
Gaming and Arts
BLACKOUT: The Kickoff celebrates the collaborations brought by gaming and arts. Catch various booths from partners like Gamer Girls Philippines, Guhit Pinas, and many more. Showcase your creativity and experience interactive areas, live art, tattoos, and merchandise booths. Art will always be the core of each industry as it’s where it all begins. BLACKOUT celebrates art by emphasizing the medium’s value.
Whatever You Want It to Be
Ultimately, BLACKOUT is #NotJustAFestival; it’s whatever anyone wants it to be. You can be there for the music, the gaming, or the arts—or you can be there for it all. BLACKOUT was created for fans to simply enjoy being themselves.
BLACKOUT: The Kickoff, as the name suggests, is only the prologue to a larger BLACKOUT coming in 2025. It’s a glimpse of what’s to come and an introduction to what BLACKOUT will essentially be.
It’s a collision of gaming, music, and arts, where anyone can find their community and be part of the festivities that celebrate each industry.
