Aurora Music Festival Turns 5: SB19, IV Of Spades, Sarah Geronimo, and Sexbomb lead Massive 2026 Clark Lineup
The Aurora Music Festival proudly announces its highly anticipated 5th Anniversary edition, returning to Clark Global City on May 2-3, 2026, with its biggest and boldest lineup yet!
For the first time ever, the two-day festival will feature DOUBLE HEADLINERS across both days: OPM powerhouses SB19 and IV OF SPADES will lead the charge, delivering electrifying performances that promise to make this milestone celebration unforgettable.
Now in its fifth consecutive year, Aurora remains the ultimate home for the best in OPM, showcasing top-tier local acts in an immersive weekend extravaganza of music, community, and magic. Following the massive success of its landmark touring editions in 2025—spanning Clark, Cebu, and Davao—the festival continues to solidify its status as the only local touring OPM music festival in the Philippines.
Get ready to be blown away by a super solid lineup for both days!
Day 1 lineup include: The reigning P-Pop kings SB19, incredibly talented and genre-bending OPM icons IV OF SPADES, fresh from their sold-out two-night comeback concerts at the Mall of Asia Arena in December 2025, the one and only Popstar Royalty Sarah Geronimo with numerous timeless hits and immense recognitions, multi-awarded folk-pop hitmakers Ben&Ben, known for heartfelt lyrics and orchestral magic, alternative rock band December Avenue, igniting crowds with anthemic tracks loved locally and internationally, and one of the most sought-after OPM singer-songwriters because of her lyrical brilliance and one-of-a kind voice, the ever talented Armi :.
Day 2 is just as hot and stellar! Alongside the double headliners SB19 and IV OF SPADES, expect live, festival-worthy performances from The iconic Sexbomb Girls, fresh off their wildly successful multiple reunion concerts starting at the MOA ARENA, rock titans and legends Parokya Ni Edgar and Kamikazee, both making their epic return to the Aurora stage, and beloved singer-songwriter Kitchie Nadal who’s ready to bring her anthemic songs to be enjoyed by tens of thousands of festival enjoyers!
Aurora Music Festival 2026 is set to be the most epic celebration yet!

Abi Marquez Shines at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai, With Uncle Roger, Big Creator Moments, and Filipino Pride
Dubai, UAE – Filipino creator and digital entrepreneur Abi Marquez, who is managed by NYMA Talent Management, represented the Philippines at the 1 Billion Followers Summit in Dubai, participating in multiple sessions across the three-day global creator economy gathering.
Ahead of the summit, Abi shared her excitement online, especially about seeing her billboard in Dubai, calling it a surreal “pinch me” moment and a proud milestone for Filipino creators on a global stage.

Abi joined Nigel Ng (Uncle Roger) onstage during the summit kickoff roast session, where she became part of one of the event’s funniest moments after Uncle Roger playfully joked that the Philippines only has “three influential Filipinos”: Abi, Manny Pacquiao, and Jollibee. The line drew big laughs from the crowd and quickly became an early summit highlight.

She later served as the fireside chat moderator for Nigel Ng in Behind the Scenes of Uncle Roger: How Fried Rice Built a Global Brand, a session focused on creator storytelling, content strategy, and brand-building.

Abi also joined Mini Keynote: The Playbook for Seven-Figure Partnerships, sharing the stage with Apple Crider and Erika Kullberg, where they discussed how creators scale partnerships through audience-first, story-driven collaborations.

Outside the stage, Abi also met and connected with global personalities during the summit, including comedian Max Amini, viral creator Logan “the Cucumber Guy,” and creator economy leader Samir Chaudry, among others.
Abi’s summit participation adds to her growing list of international achievements. She is a Forbes 30 Under 30 honouree, Webby Award winner, James Beard Media Awards nominee, and recipient of WIBA’s Food Creator of the Year, with a global community of over 10 million followers.
“Dubai was unreal,” Abi shared. “It’s such a big moment to be in global spaces like this. I’m proud to represent Filipino creators, and even more grateful to show that our stories can travel anywhere.”
Abi’s presence at the 1 Billion Followers Summit wasn’t just another milestone. It was a statement: Filipino creators are not only showing up globally, they’re being celebrated on the world stage.

FORTHCOMING ALBUM WHATEVER’S CLEVER! OUT MARCH 27
[ATLANTIC RECORDS]

ON FEBRUARY 8 IN SAN FRANCISCO
Internationally acclaimed, multi-platinum and award-winning artist, producer, musician and songwriter Charlie Puth today releases his latest single “Beat Yourself Up,” from his highly anticipated forthcoming studio album Whatever’s Clever!, out on March 27 [PRE-ORDER HERE].
"Beat Yourself Up" started as something I wanted to tell a friend.” Puth shares on writing “Beat Yourself Up” and its inspiration. “We’ve never been the heart-to-heart types, so I wrote it in a song instead. I wanted to tell him that even though he has made mistakes along the way, he shouldn’t be so hard on himself. That things will get better and he’s not alone. While writing it, I soon realized this wasn’t just for my friend but myself and so many others who can be hard on themselves. It’s a message to keep going and be kinder to yourself."
Co-produced by Charlie Puth and BLOODPOP, “Beat Yourself Up” continues to set the scene for what is his most personal and explorative era yet. Accompanied with an official music video directed by Hunter Moreno, the release follows news of his biggest world tour to date, seeing Puth fill arenas across the globe this year.
Starting on April 22 at the Viejas Arena in San Diego, Puth and his A+ band will perform hits old and new across 34 dates in North America before venturing to Europe and the United Kingdom this summer. Tickets go on-sale today. For more information go to: https://www.charlieputh.com
