Members Mizyu, Rin, Suzuka and Kanon is set to rock the Philippine scene with their hit songs “Pineapple Kryptonite,” Sukie Lie,” “Tokyo Calling,” Woo Go,” to name a few.

“It was pretty difficult to choose who will be the biggest headliner for Bobapalooza because we want to make sure na well-curated pa rin yung lineup. When we select our performers, we make sure that they also embody the same values and personality of the community we’re building,” Gayle Oblea, chief executive of Rolling Gum, the production behind Bobapalooza.

“That’s why when we found out AG! was available, hindi na kami nagdalawang isip kunin sila. Plus, they told us that they miss their fans here and that they had such a wonderful time in the Philippines when they were here back in 2022. One thing we can guarantee their fans is that they have prepared a long full set performance this February for their Filipino fans since this is their only stop in Asia,” she added.

Earlier, American rock band Bad Suns has joined the star-studded lineup of the festival, the only sold out music festival last year.
