Olivia Dean, BINI lead LaLaLa Fest Manila 2027 acts
Concert promoter Wilbros Live announced on Wednesday, October 7, that Olivia will lead the festival on January 14, 2027 at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan.
Joining her in the lineup are OPM acts SunKissed Lola, Lola Amour, Up Dharma Down, and BINI.
SunKissed Lola, a band from Olongapo, is best known for “Pasilyo,” which made them the first Filipino band to reach No. 1 on the Billboard Philippines Songs chart. Lola Amour, a band from Muntinlupa, broke through with “Raining in Manila,” which in 2023 set the Spotify Philippines record for the most streams of an OPM song in a single week.
Up Dharma Down, also known as UDD, is behind “Tadhana,” which set an OPM record in February 2026 when it passed 500 million streams on Spotify. P-pop girl group BINI, known for “Pantropiko” and “Salamin, Salamin,” made history in April 2026 as the first Filipino act to perform at Coachella.
The 2027 edition will be the festival’s first held in January, and LaLaLa will stage it in three Southeast Asian cities within a week. After Manila, the festival moves to ICE BSD in Jakarta, Indonesia on January 17, then to IMPACT Challenger Hall in Bangkok, Thailand on January 20.
“For our first January edition, our little world is growing across three countries,” the festival said in its announcement.
Olivia, 27, is a London-born singer-songwriter whose music blends soul, R&B and pop. She graduated from the BRIT School, whose alumni include Adele and Amy Winehouse.
Her first album, Messy, came out in 2023. It peaked at No. 4 in the UK and was shortlisted for the Mercury Prize.
Her second album, The Art of Loving, released in 2025, made her a global star. It reached No. 3 on the Billboard 200, helped by “Man I Need” and “So Easy (To Fall In Love),” both of which became top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. “Man I Need” also reached No. 1 in the UK.
Her other hits include “Nice to Each Other,” “A Couple Minutes” and “Dive,” as well as “Rein Me In,” her duet with Sam Fender.
In February 2026, Olivia won Best New Artist at the Grammy Awards. Later that month, she was the night’s biggest winner at the BRIT Awards, taking home four trophies: Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, Pop Act, and Song of the Year for “Rein Me In.”
This year she has been on “The Art of Loving Live,” the biggest tour of her career, with shows across Europe, North America and Oceania. She is also set to headline Lollapalooza India, scheduled for January 23 and 24, 2027 in Mumbai.
Olivia made her Southeast Asian debut in Bangkok, Thailand in February 2025.
LaLaLa Fest held its first Manila edition on August 21, 2026 at the World Trade Center in Pasay, also presented by Wilbros Live. That lineup was led by Steve Lacy, Two Door Cinema Club and FLO.
