Korean and Filipino K-pop artists converged at the Quirino Grandstand for two days for the inaugural Waterbomb Manila.
Waterbomb, a music and water-themed festival, was first held in South Korea in 2015, featuring different artists. Since then, it has also been held in different countries.
Waterbomb Manila, held on Feb. 22 and 23, showcased 41 K-pop, P-pop, hip-hop and EDM artists.
One unique and fun feature of Waterbomb Manila was the use of water cannons to drench attendees. The festival also had food stalls and other attractions.
