On April 16, 2026, the iconic UP Diliman Sunken Garden will transform into a sanctuary of sound and solidarity as Quests 2026: UP Fair Thursday once again takes center stage. Organized by the UP Junior Finance Association (UP JFA), this third installment of Quests is more than just a concert—it is a resounding demand for progress, uniting thousands to amplify the call for SOGIE equality and safe spaces for women and the LGBTQIA+ community.
Building on the scale of last year’s festival, which saw an attendance of 15,000 people, Quests 2026 continues its legacy of blending top-tier OPM talent with grassroots advocacy. This year’s powerhouse lineup features:
Morissette, Mayonnaise, Rob Deniel
Moonstar88, Imago, This Band
Shirebound, Fitterkarma, and Soapdish
Marina Summers, Arizona Brandy
Gracenote, The Vowels They Orbit, Kiss N Tell, Jem
…and more to be revealed!
In a major move to expand the reach of these advocacies, UP JFA is thrilled to announce WhenInManila.com as an official media partner for Quests 2026. As one of the Philippines’ leading lifestyle digital outlets, WhenInManila.com will provide exclusive coverage, ensuring that the message of equality reaches millions of readers across and beyond the country.
The festival serves as a loud, melodic reminder that the fight for equality is ongoing. Attendees can expect a night where the beat of the music matches the pulse of the nation-building initiatives championed by the organizers and its advocacy partners.
