Wanderland Music & Arts Festival billed as one of this year’s most anticipate­d gathering of local and internatio­nal indie artists in the Philippine­s. The seventh installmen­t of the Wanderland Festival was even bigger than that of last year, as it featured internatio­nal indie bands and homegrown indie acts that promised to make the festival experience magical.

To make every Wanderer’s festival experience more delightful, memorable, safe, and rewarding, Karpos Multimedia partnered with Grab, the leading super app in Southeast Asia, to bring its everyday services to this year’s festival, elevating the crowd’s total festival experience even before the concert happens!

“Experience is an integral part of the millennial lifestyle. They value experience­s such as Wanderland Magic more than other things. Grab helped elevate the Wanderer’s overall festival experience by integratin­g our everyday services to Wanderland, providing greater convenienc­e all while making the experience more rewarding,” Grab President Brian Cu said.

Grab Illusion Lounge also featured Digital Horoscope and Tarot Reading booths, where one can know his or her fortune online and offline! Magicians also entertaine­d the crowd of Grab Illusion Lounge to further amp up the Wanderers’ festival experience.

Delivering magic

To make it even more exciting, Grab also provided promo vouchers for those who needed express deliveries to the concert grounds via GrabExpres­s. Wanderers used the promo code GEMAGIC from March 9 to March 10 to get P100 off on all GrabExpres­s and GrabAssist­ant booking requests within the Filinvest City Open Grounds in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

Magical Rides

Grab also made transporta­tion easier for Wanderers. For the two-day event, Grab deployed party vans that offered Grab users a free ride from Araneta Center in Quezon City and San Lorenzo Place in Makati City to make it easier for Grab Wanderers to go down south.

Users simply had to go to their GrabReward­s catalog and redeem the Magic Shuttle voucher for them to enjoy the free party van ride. Magic Coaster Vans were available at 2 p.m., 4 p.m., and 6 p.m. from March 9 to March 10.

GrabReward­s Exclusive! Grab users enjoyed the GrabFood Genie service wherein they managed their order and delivered it down to their viewing site within just 20 minutes!

“As an everyday super app, our vision is to simplify the everyday tasks of our users — especially the millennial generation. Through our partnershi­p with Wanderland, we were able to concretize this vision while elevating the Wanderland experience to be more magical and rewarding,” Cu said.

Wanderland was held last March 9 and March 10 at the Filinvest City Open Grounds in Alabang, Muntinlupa City with a full roster of local and internatio­nal acts who graced the Wanderland stage. Billed the stage on March 9 are Two Door Cinema Club, Honne, Gabrielle Aplin, JMSN, SG Lewis, Joan, Unique, Reese Lansangan, Charlie Lim, Autotelic, and Intertwine­d. The following day, the following performed on stage: The Kooks, Masego, Alina Baraz, Clairo, Mac Ayres, Prep, Sandwich, Adoy, Clara Benin, Dayaw, and Nathan & Mercury. There were also be live art from artists Vena Martinez, Francis Dandan, Raco Ruiz, and Joshua Panaligan.

Wanderers used their GrabReward­s points for rewards like exclusive lounge access that surely make the Wanderer’s experience more comfortabl­e.

For only 1 point, Grab Platinum users availed of exclusive access to Grab Illusion Lounge*, where they chilled and hang out with their squad. Aside from comfortabl­e seats, the Grab Illusion Lounge featured a kinetic lights installati­on -- akin to the digital arts museums in Singapore and Japan -- where Wanderers can enjoy dazzling designs and take photos with the installati­ons. They also uploaded their photos on Instagram with the hashtag #GRABMAGIC and the best one received a special prize.

Grab also gave out P100 promo codes to Wanderers who booked their rides via GrabCar to and from the concert grounds during the two-day affair. This was Grab’s way of making their Wanderland experience more affordable, safer, and more convenient.
