Playback Music Festival Brings Dashboard Confessional, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Faber Drive to One Stage

It’s time to wear those all-black outfits and sing your hearts out — Playback Music Festival returns this May with an all-out punk, rock, and emo takeover, featuring Dashboard Confessional, The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, and Faber Drive.

These three 2000s icons are heading to Manila on May 8 at SM Mall of Asia Arena and Cebu on May 9 at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino, for a two-city show packed with nostalgia and back-to-back-to-back anthems.

Led by the ever-charismatic Chris Carrabba, Dashboard Confessional stole hearts with classics like “Vindicated,” “Stolen, and “Hands Down.” 

The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus, meanwhile, exploded worldwide with fan-favorites, such as “Your Guardian Angel” and “Facedown.” 

Blending infectious pop-rock hooks with relatable storytelling, Canadian act Faber Drive earned a place in the bursting alternative scene of the early and mid-2000s with songs like “Tongue Tied” and “When I’m With You.”

Presented by Super Awesome Productions, the Playback Music Festival has established itself as a highly anticipated concert series that takes audiences on a trip down memory lane. They have previously brought artists like Boys Like Girls, SecondHand Serenade, and The Click Five to the Philippine stage.
