- The LED rig is custom-built for visuals that punch through fog and strobe.
- Located near Chino Roces Avenue, it’s a short ride from Poblacion’s gay bars and speakeasies. You’ll want to cab it—about 10 minutes depending on traffic.

Before the Party
Keep your pre-party plans in Makati rather than spending the evening travelling between Manila’s nightlife areas.
- Antidote Gastropub – rooftop cocktails and tapas at I’M Hotel, with skyline views and a distinctive jellyfish tank. A good choice for an early drink with friends; the dress code is smart casual.
- Barangay Bar – a more casual option on I’M Hotel’s second floor, beside its acrylic-bottom swimming pool. Go for afternoon drinks or an early start before the circuit party.
Makati
- Known for its skyscrapers, upscale shopping centers, and vibrant nightlife, Makati is a hub for both business and leisure activities.
- The district is approximately 7 kilometers south-east of the city center of Manila, making it easily accessible via various modes of transportation.
- Check out the top hotels in Makati.
Where to Stay
For this edition, prioritise Makati. Choose the Poblacion side for evenings out or Salcedo Village for a longer visit with more space.
- The Belamy House – our practical weekend pick, with a rooftop pool and a Jupiter Street location between Poblacion’s nightlife and Salcedo’s cafés.
- I’M Hotel – choose it for the Makati Avenue location, acrylic-bottom pool, onsen spa and rooftop drinks before heading out.
- Raffles Makati – the luxury choice for spacious suites, butler service and shopping around Greenbelt. Plan a car journey to the party.
- Somerset Central Salcedo Makati – the strongest longer-stay base. Choose an apartment category with a kitchen and washer-dryer, with an outdoor pool and gym for quieter days between nights out.
