The Pinoy Playlist Music Festival (PPMF) is back — bigger, bolder, and louder than ever. This year, the country’s ultimate celebration of Original Pinoy Music takes over the BGC Arts Center from November 28 to 30, 2025, turning three stages into a nonstop showcase of Filipino rhythm, grit, and heart.
With the theme “Halo-halo, Sapin-sapin, Sabay-sabay,” PPMF 2025 dives into what makes Pinoy music impossible to pin down. It’s a mix — halo-halo — of flavors and influences; sapin-sapin, layers of sound and stories through generations; and sabay-sabay, because every Filipino knows how to sing along.
Across three days, the lineup hits every genre imaginable — from rock to ballads, from timeless icons to fearless newcomers. Catch KIKX and Day One, Somatosonic, The Brat Pack, Gab Cabangon, The Bloomfields, Tres Marias, Trina Belamide, Dingdong Avanzado, Bugoy, and more. Three days. Three stages. All Pinoy.
This year’s Ryan Cayabyab Awardees — Homer Flores, Lorrie Ilustre, and the legendary APO Hiking Society — take center stage for their game-changing work in composition, arrangement, and performance. Expect powerhouse performances from Zsa Zsa Padilla, Nicole Asencio, The Itchyworms, and more in a tribute night that’s pure OPM magic. The Musik-A-laala segment will also pay homage to icons Nora Aunor and Pilita Corrales, reminding everyone where it all began.
PPMF isn’t just about the music — it’s about the stories behind it. PPMF Conversations keeps things real with “Outliving the Uso” featuring Zsa Zsa Padilla and Maestro Ryan Cayabyab on surviving fame and reinvention. “Music as Medicine” explores the healing power of sound with Justine Regala, Kasandra Tan, and Maria Isabel Garcia, while “Musikastorya: 3 OPM Books in Focus” puts a spotlight on works by Krina Cayabyab, Jim Paredes, and Susan Claire Agbayani.
Curated by Ryan Cayabyab, Moy Ortiz, Noel Ferrer, and Maria Isabel Garcia, PPMF 2025 is a love letter to Filipino music — past, present, and future.
