The Every Island Music Festival, slated for March 28-30, 2025, at the picturesque Mactan Newtown, promises three days of music, camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences. Drawing inspiration from the legendary Woodstock festival, this event will feature an impressive lineup of both international and local artists performing back-to-back. Attendees can look forward to the electrifying sounds of Bjorn Again, the celebrated ABBA tribute group, alongside the soulful tunes of Earth, Wind, and Fire, and the dynamic Hindley Street Country Club. Representing Philippines’ vibrant local scene, Chad Borja and other homegrown talents will add their unique flair to the event.
But the festival is more than just a feast for the ears. The venue will transform into a lively community hub with cookouts, booths showcasing local crafts, and an open invitation for attendees to set up camp at the music grounds, fostering a sense of togetherness under the Cebu stars.
At the helm of this ambitious endeavor is Steve Howe, whose vision is to make Cebu a thriving hub for music festivals. “We want to entice people from across the country and even abroad to see Cebu not just as a destination, but as an experience,” Howe shared passionately during the conference.
With its stunning coastal backdrop, rich cultural heritage, and now, a world-class music festival, Cebu is primed to captivate hearts and ears alike. Mark your calendars and get ready to dance, dine, and dream at the Every Island Music Festival—a celebration of music and community that promises to echo far beyond the shores of Mactan.
