Wanderland, (commonly referred to as Wanderland Music and Arts Festival) produced by Karpos Multimedia Inc., is an annual outdoor music and arts festival held in the Philippines. It showcases international and local live music, and art installations. Wanderland welcomed thousands of indie music and art lovers on its first year, and from there Wanderland continued to hail the local concert scene.
Wanderland was founded in 2013 by Karpos Multimedia Inc. (A multimedia and events company), headed by siblings Stephanie, Nicole and John Uy. They were just talking about random things in the wee hours of the morning until they came up with Wanderland and the idea became more possible with the help and support of their parents. The concept of Wanderland Music and Arts Festival is to produce yearly concert events with different themes to create variety of activities and art installations for the attendees. Their vision is to make Filipino people experience a one of a kind music festival and make Wanderland, the biggest and the most established music festival in the Philippines. Brought by the big success of its first year, many international brands such as Topshop, River Island, Rayban, GAP and Smirnoff and one of the biggest mobile telecom in the country, Globe Telecom, have partnered with Karpos Multimedia in making Wanderland happen. Fox Networks Group Philippines, which manages leading general entertainment channels Fox and Star World would become a co-presenter.
The first Wanderland Music and Arts Festival happened on May 18, 2013. It is the first concert event held at a newly opened Globe Circuit Events Ground in Makati, Philippines. Even though it was only organized and prepared for 2 months, thousands of people flocked the venue and Wanderland became Philippines’ most tweeted personality/event with the hashtag #wanderlandmusicfest in 2013.
For the second time around, Wanderland Music and Arts Festival 2014 was held at Globe Circuit Events Ground on May 17. They welcomed concert goers to a Circus Carnival Music Festival Theme. This year's headliner was American indie pop band duo, The Drums.
