PSA: UNKNWN.Fiesta is postponed until 2021

UNKNWN.Fiesta, the sustainable 14-hour celebration of “music, art, food and beyond” hosted by UNKNWN and produced by CC:Concepts, has been postponed until further notice. According to event organizers, the fiesta, which supposedly would begin on Feb. 22, will no longer push through on its original date. The reason behind the rescheduling is to comply with the strict Department of Health guidelines for the COVID-19 health crisis.

Refunds have also been made available for those who already purchased their tickets.

This comes as additional sad news for art fest goers as the second music fest to be postponed this month. Just last Feb. 8, the Tagaytay Art Beat was also rescheduled due to the Taal eruption.

The fiesta will feature 30 artists, three stages, eco-aware local brands, and a lot of other Filipino classics and fusions—so best believe we’re already keeping our eye out for the new event dates.

Once again, we thank everyone for their support and understanding these past few weeks. It has been such a trying time for the entertainment industry, and we’re incredibly sympathetic to all affected by the COVID-19 outbreak.⁣ ⁣ After extensive deliberation and thought, we’d like to announce that UNKNWN.Fiesta will be set for Q1 of 2021.
