The stage is set for the biggest musical event in Micronesia as the Guam Visitor Bureau (GVB), along with Lotte Duty Free, brings you the inaugural Guam Live International Music Festival on June 6 and 7 at Paseo Stadium in Hagåtña, Guam. This two-day music festival will showcase the best of pop, rock, reggae, hip-hop and island music performed by international artists from the United States, England, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Guam.

Headlining this musical event will be rising R&B star and Guam’s own Pia Mia, who is expected to perform her hit singles G R and KR Q R among others. Also adding some reggae and rock flare to the event will be other US-based artists, Sublime with Rome and Matisyahu. Joining them will be top talents from Guam’s major visitor source markets including Home Made Kazoku (Japan), Izah Blue (Japan), Brown Eyed Girls (Korea), NU’EST (Korea), Popu Lady (Taiwan), Robynn & Kendy (Hong Kong).

“Destinations around the world are hosting music festivals and drawing hundreds of thousand of attendees. Guam Live is the first event of its kind with artists from all over the globe converging here on Guam, simultaneously benefiting the local community and fueling tourism, Guam’s main economic driver,” said GVB general manager Karl Pangelinan. “Music brings people together and its events like these which continue to make Guam a great place to live, work and visit”, he adds.
