BACOLOD CITY, Philippines – Last Saturday, October 17, the Masskara Invasion in Bacolod City brought in thousands of party goers at the Invasion Grounds at 20th Lacson Street. The party kept going despite rain and strong winds. There were fireworks and strobe lights that accompanied the music everybody danced the night away to. The stage had an amazing setup with a huge mask in the background, representing the iconic masks worn during the Masskara Festival.
Top DJs from both Bacolod City and Manila performed. Elmer Dado, Nix Damn P!, Martin Pulgar, Inno Naguit, Kat DJ, Anton G, Ken Madalag and MC Pao and human beatbox GMTFX gave the audience something to rave about until 4 am in the morning of the 18th.
Gates opened at 6 pm where Invaders kept themselves entertained with the booths from partners Grab Taxi, Gaz, SM Youth, Smart, Philippine Airlines, Johnnie Walker and Rappler. There were drinks, food and freebies given away to get the crowd warmed up. Foam clappers and glow sticks joined the sea of people jumping around and singing along to the music. It was a night to be remembered and it was only the beginning for the team behind it all.
This was the second stop for the Invasion Tour by Spectrum Philippines, which kicked off in Davao for the Kadawayan Festival. Next stop will be in Cebu for the Sinulog festival and Iloilo for the Dinagyang festival in January, something everyone should look forward to.
