 88Rising’s Head In The Clouds lit up Manila last Dec. 9–10 with their passionate Filipino fans.

Amazing performances from the artists, good food, and good company, that's just the gist of what went down at the Head In The Clouds Manila 2022 last weekend. With performers coming from different parts of the world, the HITC stage has connected people and music with their incredible lineup. Fans and casual music lovers had a blast jumping and jamming with every set the artist prepared for the event.

The first day of the festival happened on a rainy Friday, but that did not stop the fans from going and seeing their favorite artists. The HITC stage for day 1 is jam-packed with talent, ranging from our very own SB19 and Zack Tabudlo representing P-pop, Atarashii Gakko!, and YOASOBI giving the crowd a taste of J-pop. Korean artist Jessi spiced up the stage and gave the best fan service to the fans, and of course the 88Rising artists, Warren Hue, Rich Brian, Joji, and Jackson Wang, did not fail to dominate and hype up the crowd.

Unfortunately, Ylona Garcia's supposedly homecoming performance did not happen due to the bad weather, but fun never stops on the second day! Fans are pumped with the back-to-back performances of Korean artists BIBI and Eaj, where he personally shared a piece of his heart with his Filipino fans.

The crowd went wild as ZEDD started playing his iconic EDM hits, and NIKI graced her way onto the stage as the last performer of the festival. She takes the crowd with her hit songs as everyone religiously sings and screams with her.

This was 88Rising’s first Head In The Clouds event in the Philippines after getting canceled last 2020 due to the pandemic. But, Filipino fans showed that everything was all worth the wait as they wholeheartedly welcomed and sang along with the artists.
