Following the massive success of its 2025 edition, the Playback Punk Rock and Emo Music Festival returns to Manila for an even bigger celebration of the soundtrack of your youth. This one-night-only event is designed to be a high-energy immersion into the early 2000s alternative scene, featuring over four hours of nonstop live music.

This year’s powerhouse lineup brings together three iconic international bands on a single stage:

• Dashboard Confessional: Led by Chris Carrabba, the defining voice of the emo movement will perform hits like “Vindicated,” “Stolen,” and “Hands Down.”
• The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus: Bringing explosive energy with anthems such as “Face Down,” “Your Guardian Angel,” and “False Pretense.”
• Faber Drive: The Canadian favorites known for their infectious pop-rock hooks and hits like “Tongue Tied” and “When I’m With You.”

Unlike typical festivals with shortened appearances, each artist will perform a complete full set, ensuring fans experience the ultimate playlist brought to life. Presented by Super Awesome Productions, the festival offers a rare opportunity to see these legendary acts together in a single-stage format with no overlapping schedules.

Whether you're looking for heartfelt acoustic moments or explosive, headbanging anthems, prepare for a night of pure nostalgia and raw emotion at the SM Mall of Asia Arena.
