Published Nov 10, 2024 08:10 am

Artists are gearing up for V1BE Manila, touted as the “grandest ‘hip-pop’ experience” happening on Dec. 3 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena. 

Featuring a star-studded lineup of international and local acts, a multitude of experiences, and generous benefits for fans, V1BE Manila is shaping up to make its mark as one of the most dazzling year-end parties in the metro.

Global superstar Akon – the icon behind the hits “Don’t Matter”, “Smack That”, “Lonely”, and “Right Now (Na Na Na)” – will headline V1BE Manila. 

The five-time Grammy nominee recently released his new single, “Akon’s Beautiful Day”, which has made waves across the globe and has racked over 11 million views on YouTube.

Completing the stars of V1BE Manila are Ez Mil, Lucas, SB19’s Pablo, Gloc-9, Chocolate Factory, Dappest x adL, and Legit Misfitz. 

Fans will be in for a show when these talented artists take the stage to perform hits from their respective discographies, taking fans on a journey across various eras, genres, and styles.

FANZONE, STUDIO, AND A FASHION SHOW

Besides the iconic lineup, L-Squared Productions, the producer and promoter of V1BE Manila, revealed a “universe” of exciting pre-show experiences for fans.

A hangout for VIP Royalty ticket holders, the Fanzone will be an exciting space for exclusive facilities and experiences inside the SM Mall of Asia Arena. The Fanzone will feature a Graffiti Wall which comes with pre-made artwork from various artists. 

There will be a V1BE Board where patrons can put trendy emoji stickers, a Henna Station with a selection of both trendy and V1BE Manila-exclusive designs. The highlight of the Fanzone will be the Sneaker Lab and Arcade, where guests can customize their kicks and play nostalgic arcade games, respectively.

V1BE Manila will also have a free-for-all Creator’s Studio which will feature a setup of musical instruments conducive for both acoustic and full band sessions. Featuring a modern aesthetic and vibe, the studio aims to showcase the artistry of casual fans or even aspiring artists.

The show stage is also set to transform into a glamorous runway for VivaMax and Playboy artists before the main show – a unique, exciting, and first-of-its-kind concept debuting at indoor live music shows.

A merchandise booth for various events and artist merchandise will also be located across various areas inside the venue.

ROYALTY PASS, SPECIAL MEET AND GREET

For fans wanting the best experience, V1BE Manila has a special offer for superfans called the VIP Royalty package. The ticket aims to take the “vibe to the next level” with perks designed around more convenient and exclusive experiences from dedicated and early venue entry, access to the Fanzone, and special access to the mosh pit area - the best section in the house.

V1BE Manila also recently announced that select ticket holders may register for Meet and Greet opportunities with Ez Mil, Lucas, and Pablo.
