Global Pinoy music fest IMX returns to London with sought-after local and int'l acts

Featuring OPM acts Maymay, Janine, and Ben&Ben, plus international artists Yuna, Johnny Orlando, and Clara Rosa

The highly-anticipated global Pinoy music festival returns for more showstopping performances from OPM's hottest artists and international acts to Filipinos abroad as ABS-CBN Global and The Filipino Channel (TFC) bring back the 1MX Music Festival in London on July 8 (Saturday, UK time). Among the headline performers for this year's 1MX in London is the multi-talented Kapamilya star Maymay Entrata, as she slays the international stage with her hottest hits, including "Amakabogera" and "Autodeadma." Also joining her is fellow Star Music artist Janine Berdin, whose voice is one-half of the Billboard PH chart-topping track "Mahika." Apart from Kapamilya performers Maymay and Janine, also headlining are today's trending OPM acts, including the Most Streamed Filipina Artist, Moira dela Torre, and award-winning folk-pop band Ben&Ben—serenading the global audience with their all-time favorite hits. Plus, more performances await from emerging international artists, featuring Malaysian R&B singer Yuna, UK-based Filipina DJ Clara Rosa, and three-time MTV European Music Awards' Best Canadian Act Johnny Orlando. Following its previous iteration last 2022 in Surrey, the 1MX experience returns to the English capital, this time at East London Royal Docks' hippest concert destination today, the Dockyards. Prior to London, 1MX first began as a back-to-back global concert experience in Dubai and Manila, with succeeding legs in Abu Dhabi and Singapore. ABS-CBN Global head of events Joseph Arnie Garcia promises 1MX to bring a day full of world-class entertainment from sought-after Pinoy and international acts, plus more fun-filled activities showcasing the best of Philippine global fusion. "Our format is straightforward: exciting established and emerging Filipino artists mixed with equally exciting established and emerging international acts. Combine this clear talent showcase with the local cultural offerings of food, and drinks, you'll have a guaranteed memorable music experience," Joseph shared. Kapamilyas in London can catch all these acts and more fun festivities at the 1MX London Music Festival 2023 this July 8, 12 NN to 10 PM (UK time), at the Dockyards, London. For tickets, head over to [www.seetickets.com](https://www.seetickets.com/event/1mx-london-2023/dockyards/2627943).
