Fête de la Musique 2026 Hits Makati Lola Amour, French Markets, and 89 Free Stages
The highly anticipated Fête de la Musique returns this June with its massive 2026 edition. Running under the theme “For the People, By the People,” the month-long festival celebrates its evolution into a massive, community-led music network. Alliance Française de Manille ensures the event remains completely free and accessible to everyone.
This year’s 32nd edition promises a sprawling lineup of local OPM legends, international French acts, and deeply localized pocket stages. Organizers mapped out 23 stages across the National Capital Region (NCR) and 66 destination stages across Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.
Catch the Main Stage at Ayala Triangle Gardens
The festival reaches its peak on Saturday, June 20, at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City. Integrated into the Makati Street Meet and the Makati City Fiesta, the Main Stage boasts a stellar lineup of breakthrough acts and heavyweights.
Expect massive performances from chart-topping pop-rock band Lola Amour, hip-hop group Morobeats, and the legendary jazz-rock collective Radioactive Sago Project. The Jewelmer Jazz Band also joins the local lineup. Adding international flavor, French krautrock trio Meule and French-Vietnamese harpist Héloïse La Harpe will perform live.
While you enjoy the music, check out the Taste France French Market along Paseo de Roxas from June 20 to 21. Foodies can grab authentic French gastronomic specialties, wine, and artisanal goods right next to the concert grounds.
Hop Around the Makati Pocket Stages
The fan-favorite Fête de la Musique pocket stages take over Makati on Friday, June 26. This tradition allows music fans to venue-hop around the city, catching different genres in intimate bars and event spaces.
