Do these song titles ring a bell? And a bell that probably brings you back to a nostalgic trip of more than a decade down memory lane?
WATCH: This Amazing 90s Medley Will Give You All The Throwback Feels!
These days we have the internet, CDs, and even applications like Spotify where you can listen to songs of these great late 90s to early 2000s bands and artists. BUT imagine if you get a chance to hear them live once again on stage while happily squirming with a sea of fans and singing along?
Not much just a concept anymore because PlayBack Music Festival does exactly that!
Held at Circuit Makati, performances from four renowned international artists and three amazing local artists, every 90s kid and throwback music lover certainly sang their hearts (and souls) out!
Scroll down and see why:
MYMP starting off the feels-trip
Stephen Speaks serenading the crowd (and making them cry inside)
Rivermaya setting the crowd on fire with their songs
Leigh Nash loving (and being loved by) the audience as she performed

And get this, it wasn’t just the music that was revived that night:

Arcades and a game boy – what a time to be alive!
Food, arcade/video games, films and even the festival goers’ styles, you name it! It felt like going through a time machine and being in a 90s-to-early-2000′ portal.

Whether you’re a 90s (or earlier) baby or just a fan of the past decade’s music and culture, PlayBack Music Festival is something you shouldn’t miss! Even if you’re neither, it doesn’t hurt to try something new—even if it’s something from the past.
