Everything You Need To Know About Fête de la Musique Philippines 2026

Fête de la Musique is officially back for its 32nd year!

This June, Fête PH is once again bringing live music to parks, beaches, bars, cafés, rooftops, creative spaces, and local gathering spots across the country. What started as a small gathering in 1994 has grown into the nation’s biggest music celebration, uniting artists and audiences through a shared love for music.

Presented by Alliance Française de Manille in cooperation with the Embassy of France to the Philippines and Micronesia and Funkybeat Entertainment, Fête PH is staging 123 events across 34 locations nationwide, from the Main Stage at Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati to Destination Stages throughout Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao.

Best of all? Admission remains completely free.

Under this year’s theme, “For The People, By The People,” the festival continues to spotlight the communities that have shaped it into what it is today — artists, venues, collectives, volunteers, and audiences working together to keep the music alive and accessible.

During a press launch on June 4, 2026, Alliance Française de Manille executive director Olivier Dintinger explained, “This 32nd edition belongs entirely to the people. By keeping the festival completely free and expanding our footprint nationwide, we are celebrating not just the universal language of music, but the vibrant, community-led spirit that makes the Philippine music scene so extraordinary.”

So, whether you’re planning to go to the Main Stage, explore niche music communities at the Pocket Stages, or discover new artists in your hometown, here’s what you can expect from Fête de la Musique Philippines 2026.

Catch the biggest performances at the Fête PH Main Stage

Taking over Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City on June 20, 2026 from 4:45 PM onwards, this year’s Main Stage welcomes a star-studded lineup that spans genres and generations, celebrating the vibrant exchange of Filipino and French music and culture. Kicking off the night are Jewelmer Jazz Band, Nameless Kids, and Héloïse La Harpe, setting the mood with a blend of jazz, indie, and contemporary sounds.

The energy builds with French krautrock trio MEULE, delivering their signature mix of psychedelia and analog trance, before crowd-favorites Morobeats and fitterkarma take the stage with their high-energy performances. Closing out the evening are Lola Amour and Radioactive Sago Project with an unforgettable finale.

Featuring an exciting mix of Filipino and French acts, the Fête PH Main Stage promises a night of diverse sounds and cross-cultural musical celebration. Check out the official schedule of the Main Stage here.
