ONE CLICK STRAIGHT are set to show their talent in a special segment in Taiwan’s upcoming Vagabond Festival 2026, taking place from November 7 to 8, 2026.
Announced on the festival’s social media, the group will participate in a program known as the ‘Band Battle B2B stage.’ There, the Filipino Indie rock band will share the stage with Taiwanese indie blues-punk band SADOG, as the two go toe-to-toe in a unique spin on the battle of the bands format.
Rather than having a fixed setlist, the two musical acts will be trading musical ideas in an improvised set. The segment is meant to test each group’s spontaneity and improvisational ability.
No stranger to the battle of the bands format, the four-piece Filipino band previously participated in Yellow Room Music Philippines‘ Battle of the Bands in 2015. Nonetheless, the unique showcase at the Vagabond Festival will present its own novelties and challenges.
“Preparing for this show will be exciting and strangely alien to us, as we are set to play the Parachute stage with Taiwanese band SADOG in a face-to-face, no-setlist setup—something that we’ve never done in our career before.” The group shared. “Everything is a mix of excitement and gratitude.”
The band’s upcoming performance in Taiwan marks their latest in a streak of international festivals. Previously, the group participated in Indonesia’s Axean Festival in 2025, before joining Singapore’s Baybeats Festival in the same year.
This year, the group played in Japan’s Music Lane Festival Okinawa, Thailand’s Bangkok Music City, and Mongolia’s Playtime Festival. Adding to this, the band also played in local festivals like All Of The Noise and SONIK Philippines.
With its inaugural edition in 2019, Taiwan’s Vagabond Festival made history as the country’s first homegrown music festival to feature foreign acts. Now in its eighth edition, the festival continues to foster this achievement as it invites our country’s own ONE CLICK STRAIGHT.
“We aim to ride our sound through the spur of the moment alongside all music lovers in Vagabond,” the OPM band stated. “Audiences can expect to see us in our purest form, jamming out our own sonic DNA live and improvised.”
