The organizers promised “A historic grand finale” for the last Rakrakan Festival event.
Started in 2013, Rakrakan Festival is one of the most highly anticipated music festivals in the country, featuring artists from various genres performing live. However, the 2020 show was canceled due to the pandemic.
After a three-year hiatus, Rakrakan Festival is making its final comeback.
Originally scheduled for June 10-11, 2023 at Clark Global City, Pampanga, the event was postponed due to the weather conditions at that time.
