The indie pop/rock quartet will be performing original songs off their three acclaimed albums, as well as favorite covers from back in the day

The Bloomfields are gearing up for a nostalgic trip through time with Byaheng Mahiwaga, a special 20th anniversary show happening on October 25, 2024, at Fin and Claw, Timog, Quezon City.

The psychedelic four-piece act will treat fans to a night of memorable music and fun as they perform some of the most iconic originals from their catalog, along with notable covers from their repertoire.

“We’re bringing fresh takes on our original tracks—songs from our debut album The Bloomfields, Hit the Ground Running, and A Drop into the Blue—plus a mix of our favorite covers over the years,” shares the Ale hitmakers. “You’ll also get a sneak peek at new sounds from our upcoming album, dropping next year.”

Byaheng Mahiwaga: The Bloomfields 20th Anniversary Gig maps their collective journey as a group who has gone through several challenges in their career and personal relationships but managed to surmount the odds and embrace each other’s quirks.

“Now we feel more confident in making our own decisions and navigating the industry independently as we've grown,” the Bloomfields explain in a press statement.

The Bloomfields describe turning 20 as a band as a realization of their dreams. According to the indie pop/rock quartet, the most fulfilling part of this journey has been discovering their sense of purpose. "Even though we've been playing together for so long, realizing that music is our calling keeps us inspired and motivated to create. This sense of purpose allows us to set aside our egos and fully commit to something bigger than ourselves, which has been key to our longevity in the local music scene.”

The highly anticipated event will include a full-length set from The Bloomfields, a performance by High Targets, a Motown-influenced ska/reggae band, and a special reunion with former bandmate Dino Pascual, who is preparing to launch his solo career next year.

Tickets are available via bloomfields.helixpay.ph.

Step into Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Experience in Glorietta!

Tweet

 

Award-winning global popstar Dua Lipa has finally released her third album Radical Optimism, and it’s been getting critical acclaim ever since. Now, Filipino fans can enjoy the album on a whole new level this coming weekend with an interactive Radical Optimism Pop-Up happening at the Glorietta Activity Center.

 

A Dance-inducing Masterpiece

Radical Optimism makes it known early on just what type of album it is with the addicting “End Of An Era,” high-energy “Training Season,” and euphoric, club-ready “Houdini.” With this album, fans get eleven songs that can bring out anyone’s urge to groove and get lost in the music.

 

Dua herself describes Radical Optimism as “psychedelic pop,” noting that “there are musical breaks and a mix of different sounds, and when you listen to it with your eyes closed, it opens up a very visual world.”

 

The album was inspired by Dua’s own self-discovery and speaks to the pure joy and happiness of having clarity in situations that once seemed impossible to face. It’s a musical representation of how hard goodbyes and vulnerable beginnings can become milestones once you choose to see the brighter side of things. “It struck me – the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm,” she shared.

 

Rolling Stone has called this album “pop bliss,” while highlighting how it’s “uniquely and

utterly Dua Lipa: confident dance pop full of witty Instagram-caption-ready one-liners.”

 

Dua also recently returned to Saturday Night Live, where she was both the host and the musical guest for the night. She gave an electrifying version of “Illusion,” followed by a passionate performance of “Happy For You.”

 

 

An Experiential Pop-Up

Can’t get enough of the album? Experience it like never before with this week’s Radical Optimism event. This unique and immersive pop-up is set to bring all of Dua’s songs to life – to the point where dancing is the only option! Fans can go and see it for themselves when they visit the Glorietta Activity Center from May 17 to 19, anytime between 10 AM and 9 PM. They’ll be treated to themed photobooths, personalized memorabilia, and more!

 

Exciting things are happening for Dua, as she recently announced the first run of tour dates in support of Radical Optimism with shows in Berlin, Pula, and Nimes taking place in June. In addition, Dua will make her Pyramid Stage debut as the Friday night headliner at this year’s Glastonbury Festival on June 28th.

 

This pop powerhouse shows no signs of slowing down, and everyone’s excited to see even more performances and visuals for her new songs in the coming weeks.

Nonoy Zuñiga Through the Years Concert at RWM on March 13

Tweet

Do you remember some hits songs like "Doon Lang," "Kumusta ka" "Magandang Gabi and "Never Ever Said Goodbye"? 

Pop Icon and Hitmaker Nonoy Zuñiga  will stage “Nonoy Zuñiga Through The Years” on March 13, 2019 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater at Resorts World Manila.

The show landmarks Nonoy’s commitment to seriously support fresh talents in the music industry. It’s his pay-it-forward thing for his 45 years as a singer of much-loved songs.

Nonoy Zuñiga’s singing career spans more than 3 decades, as a folk singer from 1971 to 1975 and then as one of the lead singers of the Family Birth Control Band which performed in venues like Philippine Plaza, Holiday Inn, and the Manila Hotel from 1975 – 1980. All his performances in the United States from 1983 to the present are well-acclaimed. He has also performed in various countries such as Australia, Japan, South Korea, China and New Zealand.

Some of  Zuñiga songs are “Doon Lang”, “Kamusta Ka?”, “Magandang Gabi”, and “Never Ever Said Goodbye”.

As some friends call him Doc,  Zuñiga is also a Doctor of Medicine graduate from University of Sto Tomes.

At present Nonoy enjoys his life traveling Las Vegas (where his children reside) to Manila and Cebu City managing Peil Skincare Center.

Upcoming talent Jessel Kempis will have an “introducing” billing at the milestone concert of  Zuñiga. Think she’s too shy to make a name as a professional singer, but then it doesn’t take her long to warm up to people and to begin telling anecdotes about their life and her parents.

Jeselle reveals “I am trained pop singer. I’ve been training since chilhood and singing in private events. It has hardly occured to me taht I can perform in a professional concert for which people have to buy tickets. I’m both happy and nervous to perform at “Nonoy Zuñiga Through The Years”.

The concert’s seasoned guest are South Border, Nyoy Volante, and Mitch Valdez, with Andrew de Real as stage director and Bobby Gomez as musical director with the Brothers Unlimited. 

“Nonoy Zuñiga Through The Years” is produced by OGK Entertainment Production for the benefit of Calamba Doctors Medical Educational and Science Foundation Inc (CDMESFI) and Manila East Medical Educational and Science Foundation, Inc.

Tweet

Since opening the doors of the digital life and rewards to users three years ago, freenet today continues to give access to the most exciting rewards and experiences to its users this time  through a one-of-a-kind digital concert extravaganza dubbed FREENIVERSAYA: A FREEnet Concert.   

In celebration of the 3rd anniversary of freenet, Voyager Innovations’ free internet and rewards platform, freenetizens were given free and exclusive access to an evening of music, prizes, and celebration at the SM Mall of Asia Arena last September 20. Concert-goers jammed to the hits of the country's biggest OPM artists today: Bamboo, KZ Tandingan, Moira Dela Torre, Shanti Dope, Gloc-9, Ben&Ben, and Hashtags, while Kaladkaren Davila and Luis Manzano brought the more saya by giving away lots of freebies and prizes to the thousands of fans in attendance. 

“We'd like to thank all the loyal and passionate freenet fans who joined us during the Freeniversaya: a FREEnet concert! This was a spectacular opportunity for us to give them a truly unique digital experience whether they were with us at the concert venue or even those who tuned in at home via Facebook Live. We hope all of them had fun listening to their favorite artists and getting all the free perks, because this is just the beginning of a free, fun, and rewarding life with freenet!" said Dindo Marzan, Managing Director for Marketing Technologies at Voyager Innovations.  

Complete Digital Experience 

The digital experience of freenetizens started with getting concert passes by redeeming desired tickets in the freenet shop using the freenet points they have collected over the past months. These points are earned once they complete in-app missions which include visiting sites, downloading apps, as well as referring their friends to freenet.   

During the concert, paying for food and drinks was also a breeze thanks to the quick and easy cashless transactions brought by PayMaya QR. Concert-goers were able to pay for refreshments from various merchants inside the venue using only the PayMaya app installed in their smartphones. Freenetizens who used PayMaya QR were not only able to pay conveniently, but they were also surprised with instant rebates ranging from P9 to P999 with just a minimum purchase of P99 at participating merchants during the concert.  

But the digital fun didn't stop at the concert venue, because freenetizens from all over the country were also given free access to the Freeniversaya experience through Facebook Live, so they can listen to the songs and jam to the hits of their favorite artists wherever they may be in the country, united under the hashtags #Freeniversaya and #GrabeAngSaya all throughout the night. 

Exciting perks and rewards 

But for those who were lucky enough to join the concert live on September 20, they were treated to an evening of not just musical spectacle, but exciting perks and rewards as well from freenet, PayMaya, Lendr, Smart Padala, and many other brands. 

For one, select freenetizens at the audience were able to join a special edition of the Dailygaya Raffle Promo where three lucky winners were each able to take home one of the following prizes: a brand-new Yamaha SZ16, roundtrip tickets for two to Taiwan, and 1 million freenet points, which the winner can use to redeem endless rewards at the freenet in-app shop including airtime load, data packages, gaming pins, and many more.  

In addition to this, three lucky freenetizens from Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao were also given the VVIP experience during the Freeniversaya concert complete with VVIP tickets plus a backstage tour before the show, hotel accommodations, as well as roundtrip tickets for two to those who live in the provinces. 

Throughout the night, freenetizens enjoyed one reward after another. Concert-goers were treated to an exclusive prepaid load flash sale courtesy of PayMaya. All PayMaya users were given 30 minutes to get a 100% cashback on their prepaid load purchases worth P20 via the PayMaya app. 

“I think it's an understatement that we really went all out in giving exclusive perks and prizes to all freenetizens during our anniversary concert.  We really want to drive home the message that it's really more fun and rewarding to be a freenet user. To our freenetizens, watch out as we have a lot in store for our dear community, ” added Heidi Garayblas, Associate Marketing Director at Voyager Innovations.
