Headlined by Ben&Ben, December Avenue and Zack Tabudlo, the festival promises an unforgettable experience with powerhouse acts like The Itchyworms, Barbie Almalbis, Alamat, Kaia, Maki, Jan Francis and Allmo$t, alongside an exciting lineup of rising stars and dynamic DJs.

Directed by Paul Basinillo, Fusion is set to be more than just a concert; it is a celebration of Filipino music at its finest.

Founded in 2015 as the country's first-ever Philippine music festival, Fusion was created with a vision: to unite all forms of OPM into one grand celebration, bringing the nation together while delivering top-tier production value to showcase and support Filipino talent.

"Now is the time to put OPM in the spotlight. While international acts continuously fill arenas and festivals across the country, our own artists and music deserve the same level of support. Fusion is here to make that happen — to give Filipino music the recognition it deserves," Fusion founder Gladys Basinillo said.

Fusion 2025 carries the powerful theme "Musika Natin 'To!" — a call to embrace and uplift OPM with pride.

"This 10th year of Fusion is a milestone for OPM, proving that Filipino music continues to evolve, grow, and inspire. But more than that, it's a milestone for live entertainment in the Philippines. This is our chance to set the standard for what a modern Filipino music festival can be, something that rivals international festivals with our own unique identity," said Basinillo, the director.
