This June, the Philippines joins the global chorus of celebration as Fête de la Musique Philippines 2025 returns with its 31st edition under the powerful theme: “Un Monde” — One World. Organized by Alliance Française de Manille, FêtePH2025 is not just a festival — it’s a movement that honors music’s universal ability to bring people together, regardless of language, genre, or geography.
A Month-Long Symphony of Celebration
Running throughout the month of June, FêtePH2025 is a musical odyssey featuring diverse artists, stages, and experiences that reflect the vibrant, multifaceted nature of both the Filipino and global music scenes.
The celebration kicks off on June 1 with a Pool Party at Fairmont Makati, spinning the decks with DJs Francie Gee, Marco Pedro, and Eva Smalls — a fitting opening to a month of sonic exploration.
Then, on June 8, music turns into medicine with the return of “Music Heals,” a sound healing festival led by Aruga Collective. Expect a soulful convergence of music, wellness workshops, incense appreciation, and cacao ceremonies.
The Grand Main Stage: June 21 at Ayala Triangle Gardens
At the heart of the festivities lies the Main Stage on June 21 in Ayala Triangle Gardens, Makati City. This free public concert is a melting pot of talent, headlined by a stellar lineup of local and international acts:
- Brigada
- Janine
- Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas feat. Leanne & Naara
- James Reid
- The Ridleys
- Tarsius x Ena Mori
Also gracing the stage are unique performances from Frank Ely, Zsaris, Bling Bling Papaya (Bolivia), and Marian Carmel (Singapore). International acts Ito Kashitaro (Japan) and Emile Londonien (France) reinforce the global heartbeat of “Un Monde.”
Music Everywhere: Satellite Stages, Pocket Gigs, and More
FêtePH isn’t confined to one venue. From the Shangri-La Plaza Stage on June 13, highlighting fresh Gen Z energy, to the Pocket Stages in Poblacion on June 27 and across Metro Manila and other provinces on June 28, the celebration touches every corner of the country. A record 29 Destination Stages and 90 events nationwide will bring music to parks, malls, beaches, and even remote communities.
The Business of Music: Sonik Soiree
More than a music festival, FêtePH2025 champions Filipino music as a global force. This year’s Sonik Soiree, in partnership with SONIK Philippines, will focus on global music marketing, creative tech, and the creative economy. Key speakers include:
- Francois Planquette (PLAYZER)
- Polo Ruesz (Live Promotions Bkk)
- Clémentin Diard (Ctrl+Reach)
This initiative reaffirms the festival’s mission to not only celebrate music but also empower musicians with tools to thrive on the world stage.
More Than Music, It’s a Movement
“We are incredibly excited to bring ‘UN MONDE’ to life for our 31st Fête de la Musique celebration,” shares Xavier Leroux, Executive Director of Alliance Française de Manille. “Music has an unparalleled ability to transcend borders and connect people. This year, we aim to showcase how Filipino music resonates globally, truly making us all ‘One World’ through melody and rhythm.”
