Ang Bandang Shirley, The Sundown, And More To Headline Cebu’s ‘Coast-To-Coast’

Coast-to-Coast (C2C) is coming to a close with a night full of your favorite local indie acts.

Headlining the Cebu leg of their tour titled “Bottle City Stage” on September 21 will be the beloved indie/rock band, Ang Bandang Shirley. Following suit will be Wanderbattle 2020 winners The Sundown, Mindanao Pop 2020 winner Mau Ria and J Florence, Cagayan de Oro-based musician Francis Cang, viral pop-R&B singer Will Mikhael, and rising acts such as Bedtime Television, Kubra Commander, IIICCCYYY, SUGARKISS, Kali Hoods, and more. The stage will also feature vinyl and electronic DJ sets, curated by Baihaus and Filla Killa. This stage is set to take place in Unity Coffee & Vinyl, Cebu City.

This night serves as the culminating event to commemorate the C2C tour that started earlier this month on September 9 in Cagayan de Oro. In each leg of their tour, the organizers hosted music talks where speakers hailing from different parts of the country would share on the local independent music industry.

In an official press release, September Fever co-organizer and Mandaue Nights’ member Karl Lucente shared the foundations of C2C, “Last year’s September Fever was our first time to introduce and invite other local production heads from Visayas and Mindanao for a roundtable session. Representatives from various regions converged to discuss the opportunities and obstacles present within their unique musical landscapes. Through guided discussions, attendees identified common ground and potential areas for collaboration, which led towards the idea of a groundbreaking ‘Coast-to-Coast.'”

Tickets to the C2C are priced at Php 400, and are available for purchase here.
