On its second year, Globe Telecom's G Music Fest brought in some of the country's top artists and performers including SB19, Silent Sanctuary, December Avenue, Alamat, I Belong To The Zoo and The Juans for a night of reminiscing, intimate fun and sharing of good vibes. The music event, which was bigger than ever, also featured international headliners BEKA, Vance Joy and HONNE who culminated the show with their hit records such as I'll Be There, Riptide and Day 1, respectively, among others. Sponsored by foodpanda, the two-day virtual event held last September 25 and 26, 2021 raked in a total of over 1.45 million video views which helped contribute to more than Php2 million worth of donations to Globe's various advocacy and community partners.
In the G Music Fest Upclose hosted by Martin Javier and Hershey Neri, fans witnessed the serious and funny sides of the featured acts through the question and answer segment along with several challenges that gave them a chance to virtually bond and get to know their music idols. Just like how Globe encourages acts of kindness to spread #GDayEveryday, HONNE's James and Andy also extended their encouragement for viewers to perform good deeds and charitable acts so that they may lift the spirits of those around them. Meanwhile, BEKA talked about the importance of authenticity which is the core of her songwriting. Vance Joy shared that he gets inspiration most especially when he is having great experiences with friends and family. The highly-celebrated group SB19 also talked about being an inspiration to its fans. “Yung fame temporary yan, pero yung nabibigay mong hope sa kanila pang-habangbuhay. Pwedeng magbago ang buhay nila,” said SB19 member Josh Santos.
On the second day, hosts Mikael Daez and Megan Young added even more good vibes being music fans themselves. The five-hour concert stirred a mix of feelings among audiences from love, longing, joy to excitement - with some even taking on the challenge of admitting their affections for their crushes and others tagging their fellow fans as each of their favorite artists performed and thanked them for the seemingly special serenade. By the end of the concert, Globe announced the winner of the G Chance The Raffle who got to win Php1 million worth of GCash credits. Other prizes raffled including shopping vouchers from Lazada and Uniqlo, Viu Philippines subscription vouchers, Nintendo Switch, Huawei Matebook, Philips Air Fryer and Juicer, and Ooni Pizza Maker.
A portion of the Globe Rewards points used to get a raffle entry will be donated to Rise Against Hunger, Walang Iwanan Alliance, PGH Medical Foundation and other partner beneficiaries. “This year’s 917 celebrations proved to be our biggest and best yet. We hope our customers and those that tuned in felt the love and gratitude that we and our artists put into the show. May these events serve as our inspiration to continue sharing the good that we have with our peers and communities,” said Globe's Head of Feel Valued Tribe Bianca Wong.
