CLARK AURORA MUSIC FESTIVAL: SURPRISES
Epic Events owner Louie Alcantara expressed his dedication to showcasing local talents for this year’s edition of the event, while still showing openness to inviting international acts in the future.
“For now, strictly ano talaga, na na-promote OPM for Aurora Music Festival pero who knows, we’re very open naman, music naman is for everyone,” he said at the exclusive media launch of the “Aurora Music Festival: 10x Your Love for Music with FWD Life Philippines.”
The launch was held at the Greenfield District Central Park in Mandaluyong City on February 29, 2024
Providing a glimpse of what they prepared for the attendees, Louie highlighted the hot air balloons, fireworks, and food experience.
“Aside from, of course, some artists, meron din tayong mga hot air balloons— over 20 hot air balloons to fill up the sky— tapos we’re also checking, baka meron tayong roadshow.”
He narrated, “During the concert, nandun yung hot air balloon na background, then usually sa end or pa-headline na nandun yung fireworks.”
Attendees can also expect great food at the venue.
Louie added, “Pampanga’s also known [as] food capital of the Philippines, so meron kaming over 100 food merchants, so ma-taste nila mga yun, example for Pampanga yung sisig, mga kakanin.
“So, as in, ano lang, as in from concert to food trip, kumpleto, as in for the whole family.”
