MANILA, Philippines — What if watching your favorite K-pop artists could feel like being right there with them?
That experience is now in Manila. After bringing K-pop fans closer to their favorite artists through exhibitions across different countries in Asia, VISION FESTA: DIVE INTO THE STARS has officially opened its doors in the Philippines at Level 3, Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City.
Featuring BTS, SEVENTEEN, TOMORROW X TOGETHER (TXT), ENHYPEN, and BOYNEXTDOOR, VISION FESTA brings selected performances and moments from THE FACT MUSIC AWARDS (TMA) into a fan experience designed to bring audiences closer to the artists and the stage.
For fans who are used to seeing their favorite artists through screens, VISION FESTA offers something different: the opportunity to step closer to the performance and experience the artists from a perspective that is rarely possible.
“VISION FESTA is about giving fans a new way to experience the artists and performances they love,” said Ailene Llado, Chief Operating Officer of L-Squared Productions PH. “Through VR, we are able to bring fans closer to the stage and create a moment where it feels like their favorite artists are performing right in front of them. We want that feeling to stay with them even after the experience ends.”
Beyond VR, VISION FESTA takes guests through six spaces—the Red Carpet, VR Screening Room, Present Box Tree, Exhibition Hall, Official Gift Shop, and Photo Zone—bringing together different elements of the K-pop fan experience in one destination. Each visitor also receives one random photocard as a keepsake from their visit.
But beyond what fans can see, collect, or take home, VISION FESTA is ultimately about the excitement and emotions that come with being a fan. From the anticipation of entering the experience to seeing a favorite artist appear remarkably close through VR, those reactions become part of VISION FESTA itself.
“One of the things we are most excited about is seeing and hearing the fans themselves,” Llado shared. “You will hear the screams when they see their favorite artists, you see the smiles and the kilig after the VR experience, and you hear them talking about their favorite moments with their friends. There is a different kind of energy when fans experience something like this together. We want VISION FESTA to be a space where they can simply enjoy being fans, share that excitement with their fandom, and create new memories around the artists they love.”
For L-Squared Productions PH, bringing VISION FESTA to the Philippines also represents another step in expanding the kinds of entertainment and fan experiences it brings to local audiences.
“L-Squared has brought concerts and live events closer to Filipino fans, but we also recognize that the fan experience can go beyond the concert stage,” Llado said. “With VISION FESTA, we are introducing a different way for fans to experience the artists they love. It reflects our commitment to continue exploring new experiences that bring fans together and create meaningful connections with the artists they support.”
From the energy of the VR performances to the excitement shared among fellow fans, VISION FESTA creates a space where fandom can be experienced, expressed, and celebrated. For Filipino fans who have wondered what it might feel like to see their favorite artists just a little closer, VISION FESTA turns that feeling into an experience—now in Manila.
