Waterbomb Manila
When: February 22 to 23, 2025

Unlike the other concerts on this list that feature just one artist, Waterbomb Manila is a summer music festival that will showcase music and performances from numerous acts. The South Korean fest's selling point is the use of water effects, so mobile phones and other electronic devices must be stored in rentable lockers. Think summer water balloon fights in killer outfits and groovy music.
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.

Nathan Morris, Shawn Stockman, and Wanyá Morris are performing in Manila in May at the Smart Araneta Coliseum and you don't want to miss it.
