The virtual festival will be a ticketed affair with proceeds going towards farming communities in the Philippines through Saka, as well as Quezon City rehearsal and recording space Redverb.
There are five ticketing tiers available. The first two tiers include a single- and two-day tickets accordingly. Tier 3 comes with a two-day ticket, a bottle of craft beer, stickers, snacks and a festival poster that will be delivered to attendees’ homes a day before the event.
Tier 4 includes a two-day ticket as well as a special festival t-shirt while purchasers of Tier 5 will receive a two-day ticket, beer, stickers, snacks, a poster and a t-shirt for PHP1,500. Tickets can be purchased here.
This new festival comes after Alternatrip’s efforts to fundraise for Redverb – which the collective calls home – via a GoFundMe page last year.
Last year, Alternatrip collaborated with over 60 independent musicians from the Philippines for a single titled ‘Ngayon Ang Panahon’, with post-production done at Redverb. The track was released in response to the passing of the country’s Anti-Terror Bill.
