Jack Daniel’s On Stage continues to shine a spotlight on Filipino independent artists! Now on its second phase, Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Whiskey is preparing something really cool and special with this year’s umbrella theme being the “Road to Indiefest.” Uniting musicians, producers, and fans in celebrating the local indie music scene!
Celebrating the local indie music scene and higlighting Jack Daniel’s ongoing support of the indie spirit, this program truly is an exciting experience wherein fans can even engage with their favorite acts through thoughtfully curated Jack Daniel’s On Stage events.
For this chapter, the current lineup was handpicked from the 35 indie acts nominated by the program’s production group partners during last year’s Jack Daniel’s On Stage: Playlist Live. A distinguished panel of music industry experts and partners, previous “Chosen One” artists, and the Jack Daniel’s team selected 20 acts to advance. This curated pool showcases the distinct voices, creativity, and diversity of today’s Filipino indie music.
This year’s roster of 20 standout indie artists includes Alyson, Ang Bagong Luto Ni Enriquez, August Wahh, Cheeky Things, Dayaw, Fables, Halina, K+, Mi Mi, Minaw, Naïv, Nanay Mo, Novocrane, Peej, Pinkmen, Spacedog Spacecat, The Revisors, Ultraviolet, Uncle Bob’s Funky Seven Club, and Ysanygo — each bringing a fresh perspective and energy that defines the indie music scene.
Catch Jack Daniel’s On Stage through quality pocket shows that offers artists and audiences opportunities to engage with grassroots communities and the broader indie music scene. Highlights include PROD NIGHTS which will run from September 2025 to March 2026, featuring 23 sponsored shows from the program’s indie production partners that support and help keep the indie scene thrive.
On November 15 and December 13, 2025, 20 championed indie artists are paired up to perform reimagined full-set collaborations of each other’s songs at the MIXTAPE event which highlights the sense of community and creative versatility within the indie music scene.
Three voting events will also be done from January to March of 2026 at the SOUNDCHECK event, giving audiences a meaningful voice in shaping which artists advance to the next level.
20 acts and their music will also be showcased live online through the program’s official radio partner, Jam 88.3 at the SESSIONS event which will also be on January to March 2026.
