Wanderland Music & Arts Festival has confirmed it will not return in 2026, breaking its long-standing tradition of staging the event each March in the Philippines. The festival, which first launched in 2013 and has been held at Filinvest City Event Grounds since 2017, shared the update as this year’s usual event window approached.

In a statement to fans, organisers acknowledged the timing of the announcement, noting that March has long been synonymous with Wanderland. The decision signals a pause for the beloved festival, which has built a strong community over more than a decade through its blend of international indie, pop and local Filipino talent.

The most recent edition in 2025 featured a diverse lineup including Daniel Caesar, HONNE, Chet Faker, Dayglow and The Paper Kites, alongside leading regional acts such as Mayonnaise, Sinosikat?, Toneejay and Dilaw. That mix of global and local artists has been central to Wanderland’s identity and continued appeal across Southeast Asia.

While no specific return date has been confirmed, organisers reassured fans that Wanderland is not gone for good, hinting that the festival will return in the future. For now, 2026 marks a rare gap year for one of the Philippines’ most recognisable music events.
