Globe has made it a tradition to celebrate customers and bring them an extra dose of happiness every September, a homage to the 917 mobile number prefix. And this year, a pinoy music festival, G Music Fest, will mark the start of G Day—a much-awaited event among Globe customers. 

G Music Fest at the Ayala Circuit Makati Event Grounds on September 16, 2023, promises exhilarating performances from some of the best OPM artists today. You don't want to miss this concert if you're a Globe customer and a fan of OPM hits!

Master Your Music Festival Strategy

Before you dive headfirst into the excitement of G Music Fest, take a moment to plan how to make the most of your experience. Round up your squad and identify the bands you and your fam absolutely must see. Gather all the deets to figure out the essentials to bring and the logistics of getting to the venue. Then, enjoy a hitch-free G Music Fest with these reminders!

1. Score those tickets.

Lock those tickets early to avoid the stress! You can redeem tickets using 15 Globe Rewards points through the GlobeOne app. If you don't have enough points, you can buy your tickets at tixLive.

2. Plan your trip.

Gates will open at 1 p.m., with the festival expected to last until midnight. With limited parking spaces, Globe offers festival attendees a round-trip shuttle service for only 5 Globe Rewards points. Transportation pick-up points are in TriNoma, Alabang Town Center, or Glorietta/One Ayala Terminal. September 16 is also a Saturday, so expect traffic congestion. Log into the GlobeOne app to reserve a spot.

3. Pack smart.

The venue guidelines only allow bringing in a small bag. So limit your music fest essentials to these items: 

• Sunglasses 

• Sunblock

• Foldable umbrella 

• Earplugs for ear protection 

• Reusable water bottle 

• Small snacks in a reusable container  

• Hand sanitizer or wet wipes 

• Power banks  

• Charging cables

• Small pouch for a valid ID and smartphone  

Pack items in reusable packaging to reduce waste at the festival grounds. Carry a foldable bag to carry your trash until you find the festival's garbage bins.

Spending all day at the venue? Travel light to move around quickly. Dress in breathable outfits to manage body temperature and let you move with ease. Nab some 0917 music fest merch like totes and tees that will be available on the day. These can double up as souvenirs that showcase your OPM pride. 

4. Know the artist lineup.

G Music Fest will bring 16 bands onto the stage for non-stop pinoy music. Turn on notifications for Globe's social media accounts to know the final schedule of the musical acts. Globe’s official accounts are @globeph (Facebook) and @enjoyglobe (Instagram / TikTok / X). Notifs on can help you plot when to snack, refill your water bottle or pause to catch your breath.

5. Capture the pinoy music fest magic.

When capturing those picture-perfect OPM moments on stage, selfie sticks can be a game-changer at a crowded concert (and tall people are in front of you). You can also make more eye-catching portraits of you and your friends by choosing a high angle: raise the camera above eye level to achieve a flattering selfie. Remember to share your images with the hashtag #GDayEveryday!

6. Stay safe.

Rocking to your favorite OPM band with fellow fans can thrill and overwhelm you. Remember these safety tips to protect you as you enjoy the festivities.

• Keep a sharp eye on your surroundings and guard your belongings.

• Attend with a friend and visit the same places together, including the bathroom.

• Plan a meet-up place on the concert grounds if you and your friend get separated.

• Schedule check-ins with friends who are not attending the concert.

• Stay hydrated!
