Pinoy Playlist Music
Festival (PPMF) returns to celebrate the diversity and creativity of Filipino
music. From heartfelt ballads, pop, to bold new sounds across all genres and
generations, PPMF 2025 highlights how Pinoy music continues to evolve while staying
deeply rooted in Filipino stories and spirit.
With the theme, “Halo-halo,
Sapin-sapin, Sabay-sabay,” this acknowledges that Pinoy Music is first,
a layered variety – halo-halo – of different flavors and sources; second, a
spread of overlapping sheets of colored influences and inspiration across time
– sapin-sapin- and; third, that Pinoys are all imbued with a deep musical sense
to welcome all these simultaneously– sabay-sabay.
This year’s lineup includes KIKX and Day One, Somatosonic, The Brat Pack, Gab Cabangon, The Bloomfields, Tres Marias, Trina Belamide, Dingdong Avanzado, Bugoy, and many more timeless Pinoy music. 3 days, 3 stages; all genres, all generations, all PINOY!
This year’s Ryan
Cayabyab Awardees are Homer Flores, Lorrie Ilustre, and the APO Hiking
Society. Each of the awardees excelled in their contributions to the
aspects of music that National Artist for Music, Ryan Cayabyab pursued, that
include composition, arrangement, or performance. Special performances by
Zsa-Zsa Padilla, Nicole Asencio, The Itchyworms, and more, will grace the night
to honor our beloved awardees. There will also be a special segment,
Musik-A-laala, remembering legends National Artist for Film and Broadcast Arts
Nora Aunor, and Ms. Pilita Corrales, with special tribute performances.
PPMF 2025 will also
feature “PPMF Conversations” that will be candid and enlightening forums where
the topics this year will be on “Outliving the Uso” with musical icons
Zsa Zsa Padilla and National Artist for Music, Maestro Ryan Cayabyab, who
will share their insights on what it takes to live through the highs and lows
of a life in music; “Music as Medicine” with medical students and
researchers Justine Regala and Kasandra Tan, with science writer Maria Isabel
Garcia, as we explore the role of NeuroArts in healing our bodies and souls;
and “Musikastorya: 3 OPM Books in focus” a heralding of support for
books on the history of Pinoy music and music icons, featuring books by Krina
Cayabyab, Jim Paredes, and Susan Claire Agbayani.
