MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Linya-Linya Land 2023 returns this year with bigger and better programming. The annual event takes hilarious puns to an exciting new level with its showcase of multi-format headliners that aim to create an integrated experience for the community and the fans.
This year’s edition marks an impactful comeback with a lineup featuring some of the most notable names in music, comedy, and art. Filipino singer-songwriters and bands Ebe Dancel, Johnoy Danao, Nica Del Rosario, Cheats, Autotelic, and DJ Ayel lead the bill, alongside standup comedians Victor Anastacio, Nonong Ballinan, GB Labrador, James Caraan, and Jeleen Cubillas.
Completing the non-performing headliners are some of the most acclaimed and established talents in Philippine art: Manix Abrera, Rob Cham, and Pol Medina Jr., whose work will be exhibited at the “art” market; and muralists/illustrators Panch Alvarez and AG Saño, who will be bringing uniquely infused art experiences to life.
“This year’s Linya-Linya Land will be bigger and better, and hopefully, more meaningful,” said Linya-Linya Founder Ali Sangalang in a statement. “Aside from music, we’re happy to have our collaborator artists and comedians on board. Gaya ng lagi, nandito ang Linya-Linya para makatulong magbigay ng espasyo at entablado para sa Pinoy artists at creators na ma-express at maipamalas ang talents nila sa community at sa mundo. (As always, Linya-Linya provides a space and platform for FIlipino artists and creators to express and showcase their talents to the community and the world).”
This time around, Linya-Linya Land celebrates the power of collaborations in supporting community-wide initiatives. Partnerships often result in better, long-lasting outcomes, and with various creative disciplines coming together for a day to address shared objectives and values with a distinctly fun approach, no barrier is difficult to overcome.
As Sangalang summed it up, “Mahirap ang buhay lately, maraming stressed at pagod sa mga nangyayari, pero gaya ng lagi naming sinasabi: May dahilan laging ngumiti, tumawa, tumindig, lumaban, at magpatuloy. (Life has been difficult lately, but as we always say: there’s always a reason to smile, laugh, fight, affirm, and persevere). In partnership with Gabi Na Naman Productions, we’ll gather the best Filipino musicians, comedians, and artists– all the collaborators of Linya-Linya over the years– hindi lang para makapagpasaya, pero para makapagtulak din mga makabuluhang adbokasiya. (not just to entertain, but also to push for meaningful advocacies).
Aside from the performances at the main stage, Linya-Linya Land 2023 offers a dedicated space for arts and crafts, side activities, fair-themed games, and lifestyle/wellness booths aimed at catering to the brand’s growing multi-generational demo. To add further excitement and fun, breakthrough artists in music, spoken-word poetry, comedy, and other performance art forms will be given a chance to showcase their talent through an open-mic session.
LLL 2023 will be happening on August 26, 2023 (Saturday) at 123 Block in Mandaluyong City, from 3:00 pm onwards.
