Rakuten Viber is bringing Filipino music to Manila with Backstage Pass Live, an invite-only gig on December 5 at Baked Studios in Makati City. The event features chart-topping local artists like Juan Carlos, BINI, PLAYERTWO, and Sugarcane. 100 lucky Rakuten Viber fans will receive tickets to the event, with winners announced on December 2 via the Backstage Pass Channel and Backstage Pass Chatbot. This exclusive one-night-only music jam is a great way to enjoy Filipino music.
“We’re so excited to translate the Backstage Pass Channel experience into an actual music event with our first-ever in-person gig headlined by the same artists we have previously featured on the channel,” says David Tse, Senior Director for APAC at Rakuten Viber. “Backstage Pass Live is a celebration of what the channel has achieved so far, and also a taste of what Filipino music fans can expect moving forward. In 2024, we hope the channel not only brings our users closer to their idols, but also gives the spotlight to the vibrant local music scene in the Philippines, as we’re gearing up more perks, surprises, and live experiences for all its followers.”
Launched in 2021, Backstage Pass Channel aims to give fans an online “meet-and-greet” experience by letting featured artists share never-before-seen content and exclusive updates right in their Rakuten Viber chat. Some even host Q&A sessions, give free merch, and take fans through their creative processes. To enhance the fan experience, Rakuten Viber has now launched the Backstage Pass Chatbot where subscribers can join exclusive promos and contests, buy exclusive merch, and get huge discounts for event tickets and more.
From your chats to your ult’s live gigs, keep the music playing with Rakuten Viber Backstage Pass Channel and Chatbot.
