Salo-Salo Fest is the first music festival in the Philippines to be held inside a theme park — in this case, it is none other than the Enchanted Kingdom in Laguna. From 2 to 4 Dec 2022, park guests can enjoy screaming on top of roller coasters while they hear live performances of the best songs OPM has to offer.

Salo-Salo Fest’s artist lineup brings down the thunder, too. Within three nights, park guests can tune in to OPM legends such as Rico Blanco, Ely Buendia, Urbandub, Parokya ni Edgar, Barbie Almabis, and Ebe Dancel, just to name a few. Rising stars such as Paolo Sandejas, Lola Amour, Zild, Unique, Munimuni, and Clara Benin will also join the music jams inside the Enchanted Kingdom. Finally, American acts, such as Johnny Stimson and the duo joan, wrap up the list for a night of unbridled enjoyment in the Enchanted Kingdom.

If their encores somehow fall short, guests can listen to even more artists while dancing the night away. On the dance floor of Goody’s Dance Shoes Tent, you can enjoy live DJ sets with music from Ean Mayor, Crwn, Curtismith, and Six the Northstar. So don’t forget your dancing shoes!

What else is there to look forward to? While a music festival is great, the Salo-Salo Fest takes place inside an amusement park, after all! Ticket holders can access unlimited rides inside the park. 

Can you imagine riding the Space Shuttle to Urbandub’s heavy riffs and banging drums? Or maybe Rico Blanco’s epic Yugto while dropping down from the Ekstreme Tower Ride? Maybe even share a moment with a special someone on the Grand Carousel while Arthur Nery’s ballads as background music.

In true Enchanted Kingdom fashion, each night of the Salo-Salo Fest will cap off with their signature fireworks display.
