The Scene Around: Jack TV Mad fest 2018

10/31/2018 03:59:03 PM

It's that time of the year again, as JACK TV waged its maddest music, arts, and dance festival once again at Circuit Makati.

Over 27 acts were present during this extravaganza, headlined by Sandwich, The Itchyworms, and UDD. Several favorite acts took over the MAD stage as well as the intimate MTVph stage during the afternoon 'til evening. Live and visual art exhibitions were also visible.

Several dance groups also hit the event's mega-podium by the late evening to get everyone pumped up for a somewhat triple-header set. Plus MC Ron Thug and DJ Toonis capped everything by the wee hours with an hour of their mixed tunes.

But apart from the musical acts, one of the highlight reels stood among them all: Isagani Palabyab suddenly broke apart from his usual role as keyboardist and hit the mic without any signs of autotune to propose to longtime girlfriend, Mic Manalo, frontwoman of Farewell Fair Weather. 

Well, I'm not really a fan of marriage proposals, but I'll give these two a pass. Hahaha... Congratulations! 

Also, the ceremonial toasts between Marc Abaya of Kjwan and the mascots of San Miguel Beer took place for another notable moment of the evening. All of the SMB products were available for 50 pesos, a relatively cheap price for a big event as part of Oktoberfest; plus a lot of goodies were up-for-grabs.

And early in the afternoon, a collaboration between Tom's Story and Anima Tierra took place has taken MAD FEST in its wild massive self; thus, a prelogue for a long day and night of goodness.
