A milestone year calls for a lineup that hits harder, lingers longer, and defines what a music festival should be.

For ten years, Wanderland Music &amp; Arts Festival has been the festival that turns fleeting moments into core memories. It&rsquo;s where strangers become friends in the middle of a chorus, where a single bass drop can rearrange your heartbeat, and where every performance feels like it was meant for you. On March 22 &amp; 23, 2025, at the Filinvest City Events Grounds, Alabang, Wanderland steps into a new era with a lineup that bridges the past, present, and future of sound.

Daniel Caesar is back, and if his 2018 set was a masterclass in emotional wreckage, this year promises to hit just as deep. His voice&mdash;warm, textured, impossibly smooth&mdash;has a way of pulling you into your own memories, and under the Wanderland lights, every lyric will feel personal.
Following closely behind, HONNE, making their third festival appearance, are set to craft another night of shimmering synths and heart-thumping nostalgia. Their signature blend of electronic and soul-infused pop will feel like a cinematic moment, the kind that lingers long after the festival ends.

But nostalgia isn&rsquo;t the only thing on the menu. Chet Faker&rsquo;s raspy electronic-soul will roll over the crowd like honey, thick and immersive, the kind of sound that clings to the air long after the last note fades. His ability to blend airy beats with introspective lyrics makes for a set that is both intimate and electrifying, pulling festival-goers into his world of slow-burning grooves and deeply felt melodies.
Dayglow&rsquo;s vibrant indie-pop, on the other hand, will inject pure euphoria into the crowd, turning the field into a dance floor bursting with color and movement. His bright, buoyant sound&mdash;laced with feel-good hooks and infectious melodies&mdash;creates the kind of energy that makes strangers sing together and dance without inhibition. It&rsquo;s the sound of youth, of endless summers, of moments too good to forget.

Plain White T&rsquo;s, known for their timeless singalong anthems like 'Hey There Delilah', will take festival-goers on a trip back in time, their songs triggering the kind of nostalgia that feels both familiar and exhilarating. Meanwhile, the Filipino heartbeat of the festival grows stronger with Urbandub, returning as a full band, ready to reignite the crowd with their unmistakable energy, and Mayonnaise, whose beloved anthem 'Jopay'&nbsp;is set to create a moment of collective euphoria.

The new wave of Filipino talent steps forward with Dilaw, bringing a raw, electric energy that pulsates through every note, while Toneejay carries an emotionally charged presence that leaves audiences hanging onto every lyric. These rising stars reflect the ever-evolving OPM landscape, proving that the future of Filipino music is as powerful as its past.

Wanderland has always been about discovery, and this year is no different. SinoSikat?, pioneers of Filipino soul, will deliver rich, sultry vocals that command attention, while The Paper Kites will take festival-goers into their ethereal world of folk-rock nostalgia, proving that music doesn&rsquo;t need to be loud to leave an impact.

For something more modern, Hermitude&rsquo;s hip-hop-infused electronica will ripple through the crowd, breaking genre boundaries with their seamless fusion of beats, melody, and rhythm. Meanwhile, Yung Kai&rsquo;s bedroom-pop sensibilities will bring an intimacy to the stage, inviting audiences into his world with heartfelt lyrics and delicate instrumentals.

South Korea&rsquo;s 92914 delivers melancholic indie that feels like a soundtrack to a late-night drive, while Thailand&rsquo;s MINDFREAKKK blends synth-pop with city pop, creating an immersive experience that moves between delicate and defiant. Each of these artists, in their own way, embodies the power of music to transport, to transform, and to stay with you long after the final note fades.

Beyond the music, the festival itself is evolving. Regina Song&rsquo;s dreamy indie-pop will add an ethereal element to the weekend, while Varis, another rising talent from Thailand, brings his signature blend of rock and pop. Manila-based bands like PRYVT and The Nameless Kids will showcase the evolution of the indie-rock scene, proving that local talent can stand tall alongside global acts.

For those looking for high-energy performances, Waiian&rsquo;s razor-sharp verses and electrifying stage presence will bring the heat, while ALYSON&rsquo;s city pop-infused sound will keep spirits soaring. And, of course, Goody Dance Shoes introduces an all-night groove haven featuring DJ sets by Groove MNL and UNKNWN.

While Wandermarket turns the festival into a vibrant marketplace of creativity, where local artisans, small businesses, and hands-on workshops bring the spirit of craftsmanship to life. From pottery and DIY jewelry-making to matcha and mochi tastings, every corner invites festival-goers to discover, create, and take home something uniquely their own.
Even the Little Wanderers Area ensures that music lovers in training get to be part of the magic. This isn&rsquo;t just another festival. It&rsquo;s a decade of music, sweat, and stories packed into one weekend. A reminder that live music, at its best, isn&rsquo;t just something you hear&mdash;it&rsquo;s something you feel.
