Olivia Dean headlines LaLaLa Fest in Manila, Jakarta and Bangkok in January 2027

LaLaLa Fest is going regional. In January 2027 the festival brand runs one-day editions in Manila, Jakarta and Bangkok within a week, with Olivia Dean as the headliner on all three. The British soul-pop singer is also on the Mercury Prize shortlist that plays out in Newcastle next week.

The three dates

Manila: Thursday 14 January 2027, Philippine Arena. The arena sits in Bocaue, Bulacan, north of Metro Manila. Dean tops a bill with BINI, the Filipino pop group, plus Lola Amour, Sunkissed Lola and Up Dharma Down. More names are expected. Tickets run from P2,200 for upper box seats to P9,800 for floor standing. The artist presale opens on 14 October, a GoTyme Bank presale follows on 15 and 16 October, and general sale starts on 17 October, all at 10am, through Ticketmelon.

Jakarta: Sunday 17 January 2027, ICE BSD City. The Tangerang venue hosts the biggest bill of the three: Dean, Jungle, St. Vincent, DYGL, Mali, Billyrrom, Rum Jungle, Marquise, Lightcraft, Kirara, KRLY, Tarasinta, Patras and Rimba. Early Entry tickets start at Rp1,350,000 (you must be in before 5pm local time), general admission is Rp1,500,000 and VIP is Rp2,500,000.

Why it matters

Mid-sized Western festivals have been expanding into Asia for a few years, and this is the clearest sign yet that Southeast Asia's three biggest live markets are being treated as one tour leg rather than three separate gambles. A rising headliner, a shared brand and a week of back-to-back dates make routing simple for the artists, and give fans in each city a lineup that mixes imports with local acts such as BINI and Milli.
