P-pop groups PLUUS and YGIG will be playing alongside them, so expect songs like Shining Star, Amigo, Shaba Shaba, and BB, among others.
The six-member ensemble PLUUS debuted in March 2023 with the release of their mini-album +.Y.M. As one of the P-pop scene’s rising stars, they have garnered thousands of fans in just a year. The five-member girl group YGIG (originally seven members) debuted in November 2022 with the single Shaba Shaba. With their name standing for “You Go, I Go,” the group seeks to inspire their fans through the representation of Filipino women on the world stage.
If you’re looking for more artists, the event will give you a glimpse of more stars! A second wave of K-pop and P-pop artists will be announced soon.
“KWAVE is a music festival event that creates space for the cultural exchange of Asian countries, especially South Korea and the Philippines—a music festival where artists from these countries get to share one spectacular stage,” SBTown wrote in a press statement.
