The Cozy Cove Festival features a carefully selected lineup of some of today’s most beloved OPM acts: David La Sol, Yden, Angela Ken, Hale, Maki, and Cup of Joe. Chart-topping artists Cup of Joe and Maki continue to make waves in the local music scene with songs that have resonated widely with audiences, while Hale, a beloved band since the early 2000s, brings a legacy of music that has shaped generations of OPM listeners. Angela Ken stands out as a distinct voice in the scene, having built a strong following through deeply personal songwriting. And joining the lineup are David La Sol and Yden, one of Baguio’s homegrown artists reflecting a new wave of OPM marked by fresh perspectives and evolving sound.
With Cup of Joe’s roots grounded in Baguio, the festival also marks a meaningful homecoming. Longtime friends of Nine Degrees North, the band’s return to the city highlights the festival’s celebration of both homegrown talent and the wider OPM community.
Building on the success of its well-loved Live at the Cozy Cove shows, Nine Degrees North—an audio-production and creative team known for producing curated live music experiences—is expanding its scope to welcome a larger audience. The Cozy Cove Festival responds to long-standing interest from fans who have hoped to see these artists perform within the signature atmosphere of NDN productions. While the scale is larger, the festival remains grounded in the values that define Nine Degrees North: intention, intimacy, and quality sound.
The Festival is envisioned as more than an evening concert. Festival activities will take place throughout the day on February 27, featuring a flea market with local merchants and a live podcast session with Gian Bernardino’s G on Top. These daytime activities invite guests to explore the space, support local vendors, and engage with the OPM community ahead of the live performances, which will take place in the evening.
The Cozy Cove Festival reflects Nine Degrees North’s continued commitment to uplifting the local and national music scene through thoughtful programming and storytelling. Guided by “Stars Within Reach,” the festival invites audiences to be part of a night where music brings people together and the stars feel closer than ever.
