The Clark Global City skyline is set to host a definitive moment in Philippine contemporary music as the Aurora Music Festival marks its fifth anniversary.
What began as a regional gathering has evolved into a cornerstone of the OPM calendar, and for its 2026 edition, the festival is moving away from its traditional structure to introduce a double-headliner format across both days.
Scheduled for May 2 and 3, the event arrives on the heels of a successful 2025 touring cycle that spanned Clark, Cebu and Davao, further cementing its position as the preeminent touring festival in the archipelago.

The Day 1 roster of the Aurora Music Festival is a collaboration of modern P-Pop and indie-rock dominance. Leading the charge are SB19, fresh from a year of international visibility, and the genre-bending IV of Spades. The latter’s inclusion is particularly noteworthy, following their high-profile, two-night comeback at the Mall of Asia Arena in December 2025.
Joining them is Sarah Geronimo, whose presence adds a layer of established pop heritage to the weekend. Ben&Ben, December Avenue and Armi Millare round out the Saturday lineup.

Day 2 of the Aurora Music Festival maintains the momentum by retaining the double-headliner powerhouse of SB19 and IV of Spades, but shifts the surrounding energy toward a nostalgic and high-octane celebration of local pop culture. The iconic Sexbomb Girls join the bill following their own successful string of reunion concerts, bringing a unique kitsch-pop energy to the festival stage.
They are joined by Parokya Ni Edgar and Kamikazee, both returning to the Aurora stage to anchor the weekend’s rowdier festivities. Kitchie Nadal, whose hits remain staples of the OPM songbook, completes the Sunday programme.
