Everything We Know So Far About Wanderland 2023

Music fans, get ready for the awaited return of this festival



Manila’s premiere homegrown festival is scheduled to make a return! Catch Wanderland once again in 2023 on March 4 and 5 at the Filinvest City Events Grounds in Alabang. The upcoming edition called “Wanderland: The Comeback” takes place across two days (similar to its 2019 edition) and is set to bring together the hottest acts from here and abroad. 


As the music festival gears up for its grand comeback, music fans are sure to expect amazing music from the live acts, see striking art installations, and enjoy delicious food and drinks with the rest of the Wanderland community.




During the pandemic, Wanderland was one of the first events to get canceled, which was followed by another year of taking a break from on-ground events. August 9 this year, however, brought the hiatus to an end. This kicked off with organizers announcing that those with tickets from the postponed 2020 edition will have their passes honored in 2023.


Standard tickets (Regular Wanderer) are priced at ₱8,500, while VIP tickets (Star Wanderer) are priced at ₱15,000. The pricier Star Wanderer tickets come with a bunch of VIP perks like a Star Wanderer kit, access to the viewing deck, express entrance lane, and two free drinks. These items are expected to be shipped two weeks prior to the event. 


Both ticket options are available on www.wanderlandfestival.com, but tickets are also available as a package (Wanderbuddies) so you can head to the festival together with your friends.
