Pinoy Playlist Music Festival 2023: Gunita At Mga Bukas: Honoring our Past and Embracing the Future of Filipino Music – The Pop Blog

Get ready to groove and reminisce, my fellow music lovers! Pinoy Playlist Music Festival 2023 is here, and it’s all about celebrating our musical heritage while diving headfirst into the future of Filipino tunes. We’re talking about a three-day extravaganza of Feel-good Original Pinoy Music (OPM), awesome forums, eye-popping digital art, and a whole lot of change-ups to keep things fresh.

We’ve dubbed this year’s theme Gunita at Mga Bukas (that’s Memories and Futures for our non-Tagalog speakers), and it’s all about paying tribute to our rich musical past and embracing the exciting beats that lie ahead.

From September 29 to October 1, we’re taking over three fantastic venues at the BGC Arts Center in Taguig City.
