MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Let’s wave a huge goodbye to 2021 and say hello to 2022! There is no doubt we all experienced some form of hardship in the past year, and just making it through is worthy of celebration. Now, let’s look forward to the new year – hopeful for what blessings and ready for any challenge that may come our way. In the spirit of being a true Filipino, we welcomed it in the best way we know how – with music!
BYE 2021 music fest was held last Dec. 31, 2021 from 7PM onwards as 1.3 million people gathered online to wave goodbye to 2021 together. Played across popular streaming platforms Facebook, Youtube and Tiktok, viewers were entertained by a whopping 43 of the hottest local, international artists and content creators. BYE2021, presented by UMUSIC Philippines was the biggest online music fest to ring in the new year in a bright, fun and positive way. There is truly nothing like the power of music to bring together Filipinos from all over the country to celebrate conquering all the challenges of the past year. Headlined by local artists like Ben&Ben, Zack Tabudlo, SB19, James Reid, Nadine Lustre, Juan Karlos, and Arthur Nery, with special participation of Paul Klein & Jake Goss of LANY, international singer of the viral and trending track “Ever After”, Bonnie Bailey; Thai superstar, Billkin; TikTok viral artist, Lyn Lapid; Maximillian, VALLEY, and more, fans from Manila and other parts of Luzon and Visayas were definitely in for a treat! . There were also special appearances from last year’s most influential content creators Maris Racal, Albert Nicolas, Jim and Saab, and TikTok sensation Ceejay Laqui. To make things even better, the concert was FREE for everyone to enjoy with friends and family!

Event organizers also definitely lived up to their word of making BYE2021 “bigger and better” than BYE2020. “As compared to BYE2020, we no longer shot on a virtual stage, but on a physical set instead. That said, the production value of our performances are definitely a step up from last year.” As seen on snippets from the concert posted on social media, BYE2021’s visuals were truly stunning and a big upgrade from BYE2020’s! The team also listened to what the people wanted and delivered by inviting 2021’s most popular breakout stars like Zack Tabudlo, while also making sure that fan favorites like Ben&Ben were on board.
There was definitely no better way to welcome 2022 than to spend it with your loved ones, singing along to your favorite tunes as you reminisce all the events in 2021 that pushed you and helped you grow stronger than ever. Let’s all stay positive and hopeful for what 2022 has in store for all of us!
