The festival will be staged at the CCP Open Grounds in Pasay City on October 21, Neuwave said.

In a separate post on Tuesday, Neuwave revealed the first artist in the festival's lineup — K-pop soloist Hyolyn, a member of the now-disbanded girl group Sistar.

Neuwave produced the "Be You" benefit concert last July, which featured performances from K-pop superstars Red Velvet and P-pop acts BGYO and BINI.
