Smart is kick-starting another year of dominating the music scene with Plus63 Music & Arts Festival, a powerhouse event headlined by hit American rapper and producer Kid Ink and Swedish act Dada Life set at Cebu Business Park on Jan. 19, Saturday.

Coinciding this year with the highly anticipated Sinulog Festival week, Plus63 Music & Arts Festival is an annual event that aims to support local talents and musicians by giving them the opportunity to perform alongside the world’s top performers. Plus63 refers to the Philippines’ country code and numerical global identifier.

Previous headliners include Swedish House Mafia’s Steve Angello in 2016, Steve Aoki in 2017 and last year, Showtek, who performed before over 10,000 fans.

House meets hip hop

This year, hip hop meets house as hit American rapper and producer Kid Ink and show-stealing Swedish act Dada Life is sharing the stage with the country’s top beatmakers Ace Ramos, MC Pao, DJ Short, Victor Jao, MC Benson, DJ Rich Rubillar, and MC Mak G.

Kid Ink is known for his chart-topping singles, multi-platinum albums, and collaborations with artists like Chris Brown, Steve Aoki, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony. His first studio album Up & Away landed on the US Billboard 200, while his second album debuted at No.3 on the Billboard 200 with hits like Show Me featuring Brown and Iz U Down featuring Tyga. Kid Ink dropped his last studio album in 2015, and has since released a mixtape and an extended play record.

On the other hand, Olle Cornéer and Stefan Engblom formed Dada Life in 2006, and rose to popularity with their humorous stage antics and happy-go-lucky approach to music. Dada Life has released three studio albums with their second Gold-sellingalbum, The Rules of Dada, reaching the Billboard 200. They also hold a Guinness World Record for the Largest Pillow Fight ever.

Sinulog Festival Outfit Ideas

Sinulog, the biggest and grandest festival in the Philippines is just around the corner and I know most of us are really excited with all the activities lined up for this year. If it’s your first time to attend Sinulog Festival, different festivities usually take place as early as December and most of the big events happen a week before the Sinulog day, which is being celebrated every 3rd Sunday of the January.

Carefully planning what to wear during Sinulog day and other festivities can really be very stressful to some. On this blog, I will be sharing some outfit ideas for different activities by mixing and matching few pieces of clothing and accessories.

The Casual Reveler

This outfit is perfect for attending religious activities such as church masses and procession. You can close the button of the shirt for a more semi-formal look.

The Party Goer

Parties are already tied with Sinulog Festival. You can transform your the first outfit into a party look by simply changing your top with a shirt with festive prints. For indoor party venues, you can also wear a bomber jacket to make the look a little sophisticated.

The Festival Ready

For the big Sinulog day, it is a must to wear something comfortable like shorts and tank tops. It is also important to protect your head from the heat of the sun by wearing a hat and sunglasses. A water repellent jacket will also protect you just in case it will rain.

All items are from Penshoppe except for the Envelope Clutch and Scarf

By mixing and matching few pieces of clothing, you can transform your outfit to something fitted for the activity or occasion. My tip is to carefully choose the colors and prints to make sure everything will work together. Have a fun filled Sinulog Festival!
