A Stacked Lineup of Global Heavyweights
This year’s most expansive edition features four of electronic music’s most commanding forces. You absolutely cannot miss these explosive mainstage headliners:

- Porter Robinson: The Grammy-nominated American producer makes a highly anticipated return to Southeast Asia. He arrives fresh off his massive SMILE! 😀 world tour, bringing his critically acclaimed sound to his devoted local fans.
- Subtronics: Dubstep heavyweight Jesse Kardon promises an unforgettable live bass experience. He recently sold out six consecutive nights in Los Angeles and made a massive Coachella debut.
- Yellow Claw: Dutch duo Jim Taihuttu and Nils Rondhuis blend trap, hip-hop, dubstep, and hardstyle into a relentlessly high-energy sound. They will ignite the Manila crowd with explosive tracks from their brand new album, Jesus Loves Trap Music.
