The most awaited Waterbomb Festival has finally arrived in Manila! Waterbomb Manila 2025 Day 2 was held on February 23, 2025, at Quirino Grandstand. The event featured a powerful lineup of performances and splashes of water, making it a unique music festival, soaking the fans as they partied with the artists and celebrated a one-of-a-kind experience of a lifetime.

The second day of Waterbomb in Manila started with the PPOP group Bilib with “Tawag” and “Hindi Ka Bibitawan,” followed by the Filipino-American singer-songwriter Zela, who performed her debut song “Karma” as well as surprised her fans with a collaboration song entitled “Gimme the Music.”

Several DJs like Kenet, 2Spade, Mar Vista, Aster & Neo and InsideCore delivered exciting sets that made the day even more fun and alive. Their performances contributed to the festival’s atmosphere, blending K-pop, hip-hop, and EDM genres. Sienna Girls also didn’t let the festival attendees get bored as they showered them while having a blast.

Bringing reggae, hip-hop and humor on stage, Skull, Haha, Reddy, Sulreggae and Yang Se Chan performed together as they engaged with their fans. The crowd enjoyed their playful performances, overlooking the splashes of water throughout the set.

Viviz and Oh My Girl graced the Waterbomb stage with their performances that surely captivated their fans. Buddies, Na.V, and Miracle cheered as the K-pop girl groups performed their songs. The girls even said that they could spray water on them because it’s not fair that the fans are the only ones who are getting wet. They thanked the fans for attending the Waterbomb Festival and supporting their performances, leaving the fans hoping that they could have a solo concert soon.

What’s hotter than summer? They’re Block B’s U-KWON, Gray, Kang Daniel, and GOT7’s BamBam never missed the chance to make the cold water of the festival as well as the breeze that’s coming from the Manila Bay bearable for the fans! Every performance of them, without any question, made the concert ground hotter than ever!

Gray sang his hits like “Just Do It,” “I’m Fine,” and “Late Night” and made his stage presence overflowing with hotness as he decided to take off his shirt and get drenched. Kang Daniel said in advance that he admired the crowd’s energy and felt sorry that his songs don’t have a “party vibe” but have a “feel-good vibe” instead.

His fans disagreed with him, saying that everything is fine as long as it’s him who is performing. He sang Jealous,” “Electric Shock,” “Supernova,” and “Ready to Ride.” and thanked his fans, FLOWD, for their support and said it’s good to be back in the Philippines.

Even though U-KWON and BamBam didn’t bring their members from Block B and GOT7, they made sure that every BBC and Ahgase could still feel their presence as they performed “HER” and “Hard Carry,” respectively, on top of their solo hits.

Who’s complaining about getting soaked during their performances? NO ONE. Everyone would love to get hosed down by these two! They thanked the fans for coming and wished that they could enjoy the rest of the festival. BamBam even sang a cover of Lola Amour’s “Raining in Manila” to show how he loved being in the Philippines. Also, he said he never forgets a Filipino phrase that he learned way back then and it’s “shot puno!”.

We’re now down to the “Mothers” of all performances: Hyolyn, Sunmi and Jessi. You know that it’s a real music fest and party if you can’t even have time to bring your arms down and sing every part of the song that you’re hearing while making those body waves.

Hyolyn started with her hits, followed by Sistar songs “Ma Boy,” “Touch My Body,” and “Shake It,” taking her fans down memory lane. Whether you are a Star1, Bae, or a casual listener from the golden era of K-pop, you cannot hide your age at this point! She ended her set with “Wait,” the music video for which was filmed in Siquijor.

Miya-ne fell in love once more with Sunmi as she slayed her performance. The former member of Wonder Girls gave her fans an unforgettable night with her hits like “Gashina” and “Heroine.” She thanked the fans for waiting for her as the night was getting late.

Lights, camera, action, baby! It’s Jessi’s time to perform! Jebbies playfully put the Korean-American rapper on the hot seat as they did a “fast talk” with her. Speak about the fan service! She made sure that she was listening to every fan and even teased them. She made the crowd dance along with her to “Zoom” and “What Type of X.” Waterbomb Manila Day 2 marked her first public appearance after six months.

The crowd also enjoyed the “Waterbomb time” between the performances. The event concluded with a colorful fireworks display that lit up the venue.

Waterbomb Festival in Manila was an event that will go down in Philippine concert history. It will surely be treasured by the fans who took the time to attend, had fun with their friends, threw all their life worries aside, and enjoyed every performance.
