Summer solstice

MANILA, Philippines - This summer, CloseUp introduces a new meaning to Summer Solstice, a new tradition which summons party goers, music lovers, adventure seekers, anyone and everyone looking for a good time to an open field in the name of music.

“CloseUp has always taken pride in its musical heritage, with iconic songs that have touched the hearts of numerous generations, and with record-breaking events such as Lovapalooza, “ says CloseUp Philippines brand manager John Imperial. “This year, it’s time to embark on a new adventure — something that has never been done before, something that creates an avenue for people to get even closer.”

Closeup’s new breed — social groups consisting of ABS-CBN’s Enrique Gil, Colleen Garcia and Matteo Guidicelli; GMA’s Rocco Nacino, Enzo Pineda, and Steven Silva; close friends Mike Concepcion, Ava Daza, Carla Humphries, and Nicole Andersson; bloggers Kryz Uy, Camille Co, and Laureen Uy, Vern and Verniece Enciso, David Guison, Seph Cham, and Shai Lagarde;  and 89.9 Radio DJs Riki Flores, Andi Manzano, Jessica Mendoza, and Suzy Gamboa — were present at the media launch to announce the lineup of artists.

Headlining Summer Solstice will be Grammy-winning DJ Afrojack. Ranked in the top 10 on the DJ Mag Top 100 DJs of 2012, Afrojack has had hit collaborations with Snoop Dogg, Pitbull, Ne-Yo, and Beyonce.

Summer Solstice will take place on April 27 at the Mall of Asia open grounds. Tickets will be sold in all Ticketnet, Ticketworld, and SM ticket outlets starting March 18. General admission tickets are at P2,000 and VIP tickets will be P5,000.
