Korean music festival Waterbomb is set to bring a combination of electrifying performances from K-pop artists and water-filled fun to the Philippine shores for the first time in February.
The inaugural Waterbomb Manila is set to take place at the Quirino Grandstand on Feb. 22 and 23, with organizers unveiling an impressive lineup of South Korean artists across the two-day event.
On Feb. 22, festival-goers can look forward to performances by acts like hip-hop duo Dynamic Duo, soloists Lee Chae-yeon and Hwasa of MAMAMOO, and K-pop girl group STAYC. Also taking the stage are rapper B.I, singer-actor Kim Jong-kook, and hip-hop group Epik High, among others. Fans of Kwon Eunbi, Baekho, and EXO’s Chanyeol will also have their chance to see the stars on stage.
Meanwhile, on its second day, Feb. 23, an equally star-studded lineup with headliners including K-pop artists Kang Daniel, Jessi, Sunmi, and BamBam of GOT7 will be gracing the Manila stage. Attendees can also expect appearances by VIVIZ, Oh My Girl, Hyolyn, and reggae duo Skull & Haha. Moreover, acts Gray, Sulreggae, and U-Kwon of Block B round out the roster.
Known for blending high-energy performances and water-themed activities like water gun fights and water cannon blasts, Waterbomb has gained a cult following since its inception in South Korea. The Manila edition aims to replicate the festival’s vibe, offering fans a concert to remember.
