Not yet sure yet where to rock out this Fête weekend? Take our suggestion.

Tomorrow, June 17, will be the first day of Fête de la Musique 2017. Do you know which stage you’ll be watching?

This year marks the 23rd edition of the popular music event that is marked by simultaneous musical shows held in 30 pocket venues all over the metro, each showcasing the best of the local music scene in a specific genre.

And for the first time since it started, Fête will also hold celebrations outside of Manila: Puerto Princesa, Palawan at the Cory Park Provincial Capitol Complex, and Baguio City, both on June 24. If you wish to vacay and have a jamming good time as well, better book your tickets and check the Fête de la Musique Facebook page for more information.

But back here in the city: from acoustic to hiphop to rock to spoken word, there’s a stage for your favorite genre, each with amazing lineups.

Our suggestion? Check out the Indie Stage at the Century City Mall, produced by Vandals On The Wall, Docdef Productions, Gabi Na Naman Productions, and Ndfy.me. “From folksie singer-songwriters to obscure indie-rock acts, expect a minefield of sonic diversity,” Vandals On The Wall’s Ian Urrutia tells Garage of the 19 acts that will perform at #FêteIndie2017. “It’s gonna be rad for sure.”
