As part of its Make It Makati campaign, Ayala Land welcomed 2025 with a celebration that delighted thousands in attendance — the grand New Year’s Eve countdown event, Radiating On Top, which was held along Ayala Avenue last December 31, 2024.
Directed by Paolo Valenciano on the country’s first-ever colossal 3D stage, the night began with performances from the brightest stars of Philippine theater, with musical arrangements by Myke Salomon and Ejay Yatco. With a medley of songs from the most iconic musicals of the year, cast members of One More Chance, Bar Boys, Going Home to Christmas, Buruguduystunstugudunstuy, Pingkian: Isang Musikal, and Jepoy & the Magic Circle — Alex Diaz, Almond Bolante, Benedix Ramos, CJ Navato, EJ Pepito, Gab Pangilinan, Gio Gahol, Jerom Canlas, Joshua Cadeliña, Nicole Omillo, Omar Uddin, Paula Paguio, Paw Castillo, Roxy Aldiosa, Sheena Belarmino, and Vic Robinson — came together for a awe-inspiring opening act.
OPM stars across generations and genres then lit up the stage with electrifying sets from Pinoy rock icon Bamboo, “Raining In Manila” hitmakers Lola Amour, global drag star Marina Summers, and hip-hop storyteller Gloc-9. Closing out the night and ringing in the new year were unforgettable finale performances by pop icon Gary Valenciano — who just concluded a pair of ‘Pure Energy: One More Time‘ concerts — and the Nation’s Girl Group and Billboard Philippines’ No. 1 artist of 2024, BINI.
From breathtaking performances to a grand fireworks display that illuminated the sky above Ayala Avenue, Ayala Land and Makati City’s Radiating On Top was a showcase of world class Filipino artistry and a New Year’s Eve countdown event that closed 2024 in grand, memorable fashion.
