After a heartbreaking cancellation in 2020, the music festival is coming back swinging.
MANILA, Philippines – On March 4 and 5, beloved music festival Wanderland is set to stage its big return, three years after it canceled what would have been its eighth edition.
“We did go all out,” said John Uy, CEO and president of Karpos Multimedia, which produces Wanderland. “Early 2020 was really something no one could have ever planned for. First was the Taal Volcano eruption in early January that slowed down our progress and caused some uncertainties regarding the safety of the event. Two weeks after, the first case of COVID-19 in the Philippines was reported,” John shared.
As the pandemic raged on, with COVID-19 surges coming and going, the team kept their eyes open for any sign that they might be able to mount Wanderland again. By 2022, they saw another big sign that the time was ripe for a comeback: the 2022 presidential campaign. “We knew that we had an unfinished race. We stayed the course, and now we have a chance to finish it the best way we can,” John said.
