Morisette, Yeng, Moira, Gloc-9, Juan Karlos, and other OPM artists to perform at the UP Fair 2024

It's time of the year again for iskos, iskas, and friends to gather for an advocacy-driven movement while jamming to OPM music.

The University of the Philippines (UP) Fair 2024, an annual fair held at the Sunken Garden every February, is regarded as the largest student-initiated event at UP Diliman. The fair began in the 1970s as a platform for protest against the imposition of martial law. Today, it also acts as a fundraising event for the student body's designated benefactors.

This year, the week-long event will be held for six days starting on Feb. 12. With the theme "Paalabin ang Tinig," the fair centers around the fight for education, women and gender, national minorities, urban poor, human rights and sovereignty, and peasants.

As usual, each day is dedicated to a theme: Hiwaga Monday, Pop Rising Tuesday, Kalye Tunes Wednesday, Quests Thursday, Elements Friday, and REV Saturday. 

Here is the official lineup of UP Fair 2024, along with additional details on obtaining tickets per nightly edition.
