TO cheer for and celebrate another year worth of rocking OPM, the Rakrakan Festival has become bigger, louder, and bolder!
Get ready to make history again as we celebrate peace, love and music with astounding back-to-back performances from our roster of OPM’s finest artists at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds from March 1 to 2. That’s two days’ worth of rockin’ and rollin’, because one day just won’t be enough to satisfy our local music cravings.
It would still be a massive production setup complete with 120 OPM artists, six stages (that’s three per day!), skateboarding competitions, live-art exhibitions, a merch bazaar, and carnival games.
Stay on the lookout for the announcement of the complete band line-up in the coming days, as organizers said they are “still spicing things a bit to give a rock n’ roll experience that will leave a week-long festival hangover.”
And if six music-filled stages aren’t enough to satisfy an OPM fan, “Rakrakan Festival 2019: Peace, Love and Music” will offer these pocket events to maximize the experience:
Skateboarding Exhibition and Competition: A staple since 2013, it will feature a free-for-all skateboarding area for attendees, with freebies and prizes at stake for contest participants in several categories, including “Best Run” and “Best Trick.”
Street Art Contest: Five street art teams will endeavor to bring their creativity to life in this activity. Winning teams will be judged based on their originality, style and design. In addition, a “freedom wall” will be setup for all guests who wish to express their creativeness and leave their impression for future generations of OPM supporters.
Merch Exhibit: Currently the largest congregation of indie merchandisers in Metro Manila, with more than 70 brands participating annually. Festival attendees will find everything there: From tees and tank-tops, to shorts and jeans, jackets, socks, jewelry, footwear, artworks, sunglasses, pins, caps, toys, and plenty of other goods at very affordable prices.
“Peace, Love, and Music:” Efforts will be undertaken in cooperation with several advocacy groups such as LoveYourself, Peace & Equity Foundation, the United Nations (Philippines), Global Peace Youth, and Act for Peace, among others, in order to educate the audience on several advocacies centered on social issues in the country.
Side activities such as face painting and henna tattooing, brand-sponsored games, information drives and artist meet-and-greet (for VIP ticket holders) will be available to complement the whole festival experience.
Rakrakan Festival-goers in white attire will be provided with a free baller band upon entrance, while those in red will be given a free rose as a symbol of love.
