7.  Basement Stage (Finders Keepers)

6. UNKNWN Stage (UNKNWN)

UNKNWN started last 2016 and collaborates for the growth in quality for music driven event experiences locally. There’s a lot to expect from this young organization. They’re known for producing parties at unexpected locations and curate the overall experience; from set design, visuals and most importantly, music. What to expect in music is a bit unknwn to us. But to unveil some of that mystery, their production manager, Celine Ferros decided to help us out.

EXPECT THIS: First off, our venue—The Social on Ebro is brand new and will only launch the week of Fete de la Musique. This will be interesting for people keen on food parks and craft beer. It's a cool place to hangout in the heart of Poblacion, Makati. Second, you may expect all UNKNWN residents to be playing groovy records all night. Third, we are decorating the place with that special UNKNWN touch. Fourth, we will be giving away our infamous abanicos. And lastly, a fun and inclusive vibe from the UNKNWN community.

STAY IF YOU WANT: The music to keep you groovin'.

THE STAGE IS PERFECT FOR: It’s perfect for people who want to have fun dancing, at the same time chillin' with friends. Also perfect for people who want to discover underground music.

5. Mount Zion Stage (Puro Vida)

Kick it at the beach while being in the concrete jungle of Makati. Puro Vida Manila is one of the stages that’s bringing you the best of reggae. There’s so much to see and hear at their first year in Fete. To give you an insight on what they have in store, we had one of Puro Vida’s owners Renato Robles to transport you to the tropical grooves of paradise.

EXPECT THIS: You can expect a different vibe from what you're used to see in the festival. This will be our first year to participate and we aim for Pura Vida to trasnport you to a beach far away from the city filled with great people, unique artists and the best vibes.

STAY IF YOU WANT: The homey and warm feeling of a beach party filled with the best local and international reggae acts in a friendly and chill environment! There’s Coffee Break Island, Supermikki, Lady I, DJ Lion from Jamaica and many more in Mount Zion.

4. Disco Mathilde Stage (Bar Mathilde)

What else is there to describe the funkiness that could fuel the soul train to run again? Disco Mathilde’s event description says it all…

• 2 mounded tablespoons of je ne sais quoi

• Half a liter of early funk

• Quarter ounce of vintage soul

• A heaping scoop of uptempo vibes

• Attractive drink specials, to taste

If that’s not enough to get your disco balls spinning, let Bar Mathilde co-owner, Roy Murakami help you ease up.

EXPECT THIS: The stage is going to be a low-key affair, like a lot of the vibe of our place: a live band sandwiched between 2 DJs. It'll feel more like a house party with early funk, vintage soul, and a lot of cool upbeat rarities, with a live band of the same ilk between two DJ sets. We'll probably up the vibe as the night gets later.

STAY IF YOU WANT: Our place and our stage is going to feel like a low-key house party with a killer set going on. No drama. No douchebags. Just killer music, solid drinks, and good people. Proper.

THE STAGE IS PERFECT FOR: All the awesome people out there that know a good thing when they hear and see and taste it – those that can chill out with similar dressed-down top-shelf people that don't feel the need for any kind of pretension. If our lineup and our venue sound like your slice of bread, we're happy to have y'all swing on by.

3. CIRCUS STAGE (20:20 and XX XX)

This is probably one of the coolest or weirdest stage ever in local Fete history. Like UNKNWN, there’s not much detail to what they have in store for their first year. They do have the equation of circus, dance, music and art performances. Why don’t we check the funhouse out with the people from 20:20 and XX XX?

EXPECT THIS: Electrifying dance floor music ranging from house, techno and nu-disco at XX XX. Party rocking DJ sets ranging from pop, rnb, hip hop, 80s, new wave, funk at 20:20.

STAY IF YOU WANT: Awesome party vibes. We'll have live circus performances. It’s a monthly concept we do where we showcase live performances over 3 stages.

THE STAGE IS PERFECT FOR: For people who want to taste quality drinks, paired with quality music DJ sets.

2. New Wave Stage (Acceler8)

Let’s go do a Marty Mcfly and go back in time. Grab your boomboxes and raise them up high. If you want your life to be a John Hughes movie, this is the place to be at. Acceler8 is throwing the ultimate New Wave throwback to the 80s. We have Acceler8’s Marketing Officer, Ludwig Alejandro, to take us back to the future of this stage.

EXPECT THIS:  Throwback from the 80’s. This stage is for the people who appreciates the tune of The Smiths, Tears For Fears, The Cure, Depeche Mode and the like. This won’t be a cover stage however. This stage will showcase local bands that will highlight the style and diversity of New Wave.

STAY IF YOU WANT: Definitely good music and free/cheap booze.

THE STAGE IS PERFECT FOR: This is perfect for anyone who wants to have a good time and a smooth ride back to the 80’s.

1. Rock N Roll Stage (Rough Stuff Entertainment)

This stage is probably the Rock Stage’s cooler older brother…except he’s technically the younger one.  This is the first stage of it’s kind in our local Fete De La Musique. Expect a wave of nostalgia and an overdose of sexy as they bring the golden age of Rock n Roll at The Roadhouse Manila Bay. We have Chana Mongaya, account manager of Rough Stuff, to excite us even further.

EXPECT THIS: Music buffs shall expect heavy doses of sexy, riff maddening guitar driven rock show. This stage is surely going to bring nostalgia to all of us. It offers a fusion of Southern Rock, Blues, Funk, and Progressive original music in the styles of The Beatles to Guns N' Roses, and everything in between.” she said.

STAY IF YOU’RE DOWN FOR: Our headliners Razorback and Kjwan fit the rock n' roll bill like a glove. Supported by the diversity of our talented pool of upcoming rock n' roll artists such as Gin Rum N’ Truth, Whiskey Version, Hey Moonshine, and Black Wolf Gypsies. In addition, our female-fronted bands (whom have been sonic scientists since birth) will bang your head like a metronome with their funky grooves and vocal prowess.This is the return of rock n’ roll in the new generation’s perspective.

Also, there are raffle prices! Who wants to take home a guitar signed by the main acts? (Thanks to our sponsor SQOE Guitars Philippines) We are also eyeing on inviting a rock n roll icon! Guess who?

THE STAGE IS PERFECT FOR: It’s perfect for the Rock N Roll enthusiasts, peace lovers, the unorthodox, free-spirited souls, short of being modern local hippies that have voices to speak, live their beliefs and just have a good time. It’s a stage with no discernment of gender, age, or social status. No labels but just pure music and 100% Rock N' Roll.
