MANILA, Philippines—And just like that, ready or not, 2022 is officially knocking. With yet another storied year of highs and lows, the road to a brand new year is again upon us and as we bid 2021 goodbye, stepping into a more promising 2022, UMUSIC Philippines sets up the virtual stage, yet again, for BYE2021.

The online music fest makes a resounding return to bring good music and revved up spirits to culminate all of this year’s challenges and growth. We entered 2021 not knowing what the year had in store for us yet here we are, still optimistic for the future and hopeful as ever. 2021 was tough but we made it through and that in itself is worth celebrating. 

Local artists like Ben&Ben, Zack Tabudlo, SB19, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Juan Karlos, Blaster Silonga, Arthur Nery, and more are slated to perform. With special participation of Paul Klein & Jake Goss of LANY, international singer of the trending track “Ever After”, Bonnie Bailey; Thai superstar, Billkin; TikTok viral artist, Lyn Lapid; Maximillian, VALLEY, among others.

There will also be special appearances from this year’s most influential content creators Maris Racal, Albert Nicolas, Jim and Saab, along with TikTok sensation Ceejay Laqui, set to entertain on December 31, 2021 starting 7PM onwards for FREE.

To upgrade your viewing experience, you can avail of the BYE2021 Fan Pack which includes limited edition event merchandise and a ZoomPit ticket which gives you exclusive access to the meet-and-greet with your favorite artists and also a chance to be featured in the BYE2021 FanCam.

Going all out and even grander this year, the show seeks to pay homage to the year’s highlights and celebrating our victories, both big and small. This year’s BYE2021 online music fest is also set to be bigger and better than last year’s maiden showing, BYE2020.

“Apart from the return of fan favorites SB19 and Ben&Ben, we’re excited to also include Careless Music Manila artists James Reid and Nadine Lustre. In addition, we also have artists that really highlighted and made a mark this 2021 like Adie, Arthur Nery, and of course breakout superstar of the year Zack Tabudlo,” the BYE2021 organizers expressed. “As compared to BYE2020, we no longer shot on a virtual stage, but on a physical set instead. That said, the production value of our performances are definitely a step up from last year.”
