Waterbomb Manila dates and venue

Waterbomb Manila ticket prices and where to buy
Festival organizers have not announced ticket prices yet, but we'll let you know ASAP once they drop more details. Since it's a two-day event, tickets will most likely be a one-day pass for either Saturday or Sunday, or a two-day pass if you want to enjoy both days of the festival.
Waterbomb Manila lineup
News of Waterbomb Manila first hit in July earlier this year, with the venue and date being confirmed two months later.
As of December 12, Waterbomb Manila has announced 13 acts slated to perform for the fest. Kang Daniel, Dynamic Duo, Skull & Haha, Sulreggae, Reddy, Lee Chaeyeon, DJ Roots, STAYC, Yang Se Chan, Siena Girls, Inside Core, VIVIZ, and Gray have been announced, with more artists to be revealed in the coming days.
What to expect at Waterbomb Manila
The annual summer festival has been a staple in South Korea since 2015, with stops in other countries announced in recent years. K-Pop stars usually take the stage, but there's also an abundance of dance music and Korean Hip-Hop artists performing for the event.
Though the first Waterbomb festivals took place in Seoul, the event has since expanded to other major areas in South Korea including port city Busan, Gwangju, Daegu, Daejeon, Incheon, Suwon, Sokcho, and most recently, at Jeju Island.
Waterbomb has also made a splash in Tokyo and Nagoya in Japan and in Bangkok in Thailand just last year, which featured some local DJs and artists.
If the South Korea stops are anything to go by, only those aged 19 and above will be allowed to enter. Since the event involves water effects, mobile phones and other electronic devices must be stored in rentable lockers.
