Galantis: The Euphoric Hitmakers!
First up, prepare for the sonic wizardry of Galantis! This Swedish dance powerhouse, led by the Grammy-winning Christian “Bloodshy” Karlsson – the mastermind behind Britney Spears’ iconic “Toxic” and hits for Madonna, Katy Perry, and Kylie Minogue – is set to deliver pure euphoria. As Galantis, Karlsson has amassed an astounding 7.3 billion cumulative worldwide streams, fueled by platinum-certified anthems like “Runaway (U & I),” which even snagged a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording, and the global sensation “No Money,” which stormed the top 10 in 23 countries!
Their latest album, Rx, continued the momentum, featuring the chart-topping “Lighter” with David Guetta and 5 Seconds of Summer, which soared to number one on the US Dance Radio chart. Onstage, Galantis is a force of nature – a breathtaking spectacle of lasers, fire, and singalong anthems that will undoubtedly transform Okada Manila into an ecstatic dancefloor!
Porter Robinson: The Visionary Architect!
Next, brace yourselves for the return of the visionary Porter Robinson! This American DJ, singer, songwriter, and record producer began crafting electronic masterpieces in his teens, signing with Skrillex’s OWSLA at just 18. He's been a consistent fixture on DJ Mag’s Top 100 DJs list for seven consecutive years, cementing his status as a true icon.
His groundbreaking 2014 debut album, Worlds, not only topped Billboard’s Top Dance/Electronic Albums but also profoundly influenced the broader sound of EDM. Following this, he delivered the Grammy-nominated Virtual Self project and the critically acclaimed Nurture in 2021, which saw its North American tour sell over 150,000 tickets, making it the highest-grossing electronic tour of that year! His third album, SMILE! :D, released in 2024, was supported by his biggest-ever world tour, spanning five continents and over 70 dates. For Southeast Asian fans, his return to the Philippines at &FRIENDS Festival is especially meaningful, as his SMILE! :D tour already made a memorable stop in Manila!
Subtronics: The Bass Music Maestro!
Prepare for an earth-shattering bass assault from Subtronics! Born Jesse Kardon in Philadelphia, this powerhouse has not only headlined major festival stages worldwide but has also launched his own annual festivals and built an independent empire with his label, Cyclops Recordings.
In 2023, he dominated the scene, becoming the highest-selling North American electronic touring act in Pollstar's mid-year reports and earning DJ Mag North America’s coveted DJ of the Year title! His curated events, including a mind-bending three-day Cyclops Dome takeover at the Tacoma Dome featuring an immersive ceiling of motorized LED panels, have completely redefined the live bass music experience. His most recent studio album, FIBONACCI, announced live from the Ultra Music Festival mainstage and released via Cyclops Recordings in December 2025, arrived alongside a record-setting six consecutive sold-out nights at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and a massive Coachella debut in April 2026. This is undeniable proof that the Philadelphia producer is operating at the absolute peak of his powers!
Yellow Claw: The High-Energy Dutch Duo!
Last but certainly not least, get ready for the relentless, high-octane energy of Yellow Claw! This dynamic Dutch DJ and production duo, comprising Jim Taihuttu and Nils Rondhuis, hails from Amsterdam and brings a signature sound that masterfully blends trap, hip-hop, dubstep, hardstyle, and moombahton into an unstoppable force.
With a career spanning over a decade, they've accumulated over a billion plays and collaborated with industry giants like DJ Snake, Steve Aoki, Gucci Mane, and Tinashe. Their own label, Barong Family, founded in 2014, has evolved into one of electronic music’s most respected independent platforms, boasting hundreds of incredible releases. They arrive at &FRIENDS Festival fresh off their fifth studio album, Jesus Loves Trap Music – a massive 20-track statement built for unleashing pure chaos on the dancefloor!
With a lineup this stacked, &FRIENDS Festival Manila 2026 is poised to be an unforgettable chapter in Southeast Asian dance music history. Get ready to lose yourself in two days of electrifying beats, dazzling visuals, and an atmosphere charged with pure energy. Don't miss out – this is going to be legendary!
