After the success of its recent events, Playback continues to ride the wave of nostalgia. In 2025, the festival featured Boys Like Girls, The Click Five, and Secondhand Serenade, delivering a four-hour throwback experience that brought fans back to their emo and pop-punk days.
The 2026 edition promises the same high-energy atmosphere, with full sets and fan-favorite hits from this year&rsquo;s lineup. The shows will take place on May 8 at SM Mall of Asia Arena and May 9 at Waterfront Cebu City Hotel and Casino.
Presented by Super Awesome Productions, Playback has grown into one of the go-to festivals for fans who want to relive the music of their youth&mdash;loud, emotional, and unforgettable.
Tickets are now available via SM Tickets.
