Six homegrown rookie performersāāwho do you think will make the cut?
If thereās one thing we can count on every year, itās that Wanderland Festival steps up its game every year. With performers like Foals, Omar Apollo, Ben&Ben and IV of Spades among its list of acts for next year (and that isnāt even half of their wave one lineup, mind you), this year is no exception. Itās no wonder, then, why local bands look at the yearly Wanderbattle contest as a shining beacon of musical hopeāāif itās a shot to get their name out there that theyāre looking for, thereās really no better place to try their luck.
Following the online voting period, the pool of ten Wanderbattle Manila bands has been whittled down to six semi-finalists. Scroll through for a glimpse at the hopefuls who will be competing on November 23rd at Social House, Circuit Makati for a slot to perform at Wanderland Music & Arts Festival 2020!
