Warner Music Philippinesโ We Play Here is back, this time with a new set of amazing artists and exciting activities that fans and music enthusiasts canโt miss!
A Curated Music Celebration
We Play Here is a series of unique music experiences designed to bring local and international Warner Music Group artists front and center. The We Play Here ecosystem features live performances, fan engagements, and exciting partnerships โ ultimately bringing together Filipinos through music.
Coming from the success of last year’s event, this year’s We Play Here is bigger and better than ever. To bring their artistsโ exciting performances to a wider audience, an expanded series of events will be hosted in different schools running from this year into next.
Local and International Headliners
Dilaw makes a comeback at the We Play Here stage, much to the delight of their fans. The Filipino band is well known for their single โUhaw (Tayong Lahat),โ which went viral in 2023. They have over three million monthly listeners on Spotify, and have recently released a new track titled โNilalang.โ
Stell, the main vocalist of SB19, will also be giving a dance-inducing performance. After making his solo debut, Stell released an EP called โRoom,โ which features songs that fans can expect to hear during We Play Here. Another headliner not to miss is pop artist Arthur Miguel, who continues to shine in the local music industry with hits like โLihimโ and โAng Wakas.โ
Marking her first performance in the Philippines, this yearโs We Play Here international headliner is British singer-songwriter Griff. Fans will be treated to electrifying songs from her debut album โvertigo,โ which was released earlier this year. Despite the upbeat nature of Griffโs songs, a deeper examination reveals themes of introspection. One good example of this is โTears For Fun,โ which shows the complexity of knowing something isnโt good for you, but not being able to resist. On the other hand, โAnythingโ talks about a relationship where you would do anything for your significant other. Overall, the album offers a relatable look at relationships and love.
Griff has hit many milestones throughout her career, from opening for Coldplayโs Music of the Spheres World Tour in 2023 for a few European dates including Portugal, Switzerland, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands, to opening for Taylor Swiftโs Eraโs Tour in London and being a supporting act for Sabrina Carpenterโs US tour later this year.
Performing alongside these headliners are up and coming artists Kahel, Letters from June, Sugarcane, Paul Pablo, and PLAYERTWO.
Fans will get to experience special interactive booths at the event, such as Arthur Miguel’s “What if?” and “AM Hugots” wall, Dilaw’s “Nilalang” Portraits, and Sugarcane’s “Pagbigyan” Tarot Readings.
Other installments include Charli xcx’s BRAT photobooth, Griff’s Gachapon Machine, and the “Sikat Sa Pinas” Music & Lyrics booth. The famous WishBus will also be parked in front of the venue, with its final schedule to be announced by Wish FM 107.5.
Presented by Warner Music Philippines in partnership with KDR Music House and UP Adcore, We Play Here will kick off on August 23, at the University of the Philippines College of Science Amphitheater. Early Bird tickets are sold out, but fans can still buy regular tickets (P750 each) here.
