Bigger venue, more stages, more magic, more music
The 9th edition of Malasimbo will be held in a bigger and more accessible venue. Moving from the Malasimbo Amphitheater, the longest standing and most credible international music festival in the country will now be held in White Beach, Puerto Galera, featuring breathtaking jungle with beach access and postcard-worthy sunset views.
Taking advantage of the bigger venue, the festival will feature bigger and more stages this year. Staying true to Malasimbo’s closeness to nature, there will be the traditional Main Stage, which will be in a natural amphitheater again, nestled in the midst of trees. The main stage will feature jazz, soul, world music and OPM.
The DJ Stage is the newest Malasimbo stage dedicated to Dance Music. It will host a wide array of local and international DJs including legendary DJ from New York Danny Krivit, Kristian Hernandez, Manolet Dario, Emel Rowe, Badkiss, Nomoclasiq, and more. The DJ stage will be lively until the early morning, in time for festival-goers to witness the magnificent sunrise by the beach.
There will also be a Silent Disco stage, which will feature three DJs providing different music choices.
