This is the third installment of the festival, following the 2022 edition held last year from November 26 to 27. The first edition, originally titled the Loomer Shoegaze Festival was held in 2019.

Furiosa also teamed up with Grey Market Records and Shoegaze Pilipinas to release the Awanggan compilation, a collection of tracks produced by Filipino shoegaze and dreampop bands of the 90s and 2020s. Vinyl editions of the compilation are available on Grey Market Records’ Lazada store here.
This November 19 (Sunday), Cebu-based event production house John Bottles Events will also be holding a send-off and crowdfunding event to send the Cebu-based bands from the lineup to the festival. Check out more details here.
