Music and Style

The Mall of Asia Concert Grounds was the place to be at last April 27, Saturday, as tens of thousands flocked to the venue for the much-awaited CloseUp Summer Solstice. Finally, our very own Electronic Dance Music (EDM) festival!

From 4PM onwards, the 12-hour music festival was filled with compositions by both local and international artists such as Afrojack, Apster, Alex Gaudino, Cedrice Gervais, Cobra Starship, Dev, Jump Smokers, Sandwich, Sponge Cola and Urbandub. Of course, this first massive get-together for music and party lovers was made even more memorable with amazing lights and pyrotechnic visual explosions. Check out who made it to the hottest event and what they wore to the festivities:
