It’s been a week since Wanderland 2025, but the festival high still hasn’t faded. Your voice might still be a little raspy from singing along and your feet still aching from running between stages. And your camera roll? Overflowing with blurry but priceless memories. Whether it was belting out lyrics with your fellow wanderers or sharing stories between sets, Wanderland will always be that weekend escape—a place where you can roam free, no map needed.
Marking its 10th year, Wanderland went big with a stacked lineup featuring global icons like Regina Song, Honne, and Daniel Caesar, alongside homegrown talent like Alyson, Mayonnaise, and more. But beyond the headliners, this year proved once again that the heart of the festival lies in its atmosphere, its people, and the magic that happens when music brings everyone together. With another decade ahead, the excitement is already building for what’s next.
Here are the standout moments from this year that remind us why Wanderland stays at the top of our festival list.
Daniel Caesar’s “Baby Blue”
When Daniel Caesar took the stage at Wanderland, there was the thrill of hearing his voice again, and then there was the privilege of hearing something new. That moment when he performed Baby Blue had the crowd in a haze. We were all hanging on to every word, feeling that familiar connection, already claiming that this soulful song would be on repeat for months to come.
Homegrown Heat
For 10 years, one of Wanderland’s most consistent highlights has been the spotlight on homegrown talent, and this year was no exception. There’s something special about hearing fresh sounds from local artists, and we were treated to standout sets from Alyson, The Nameless Kids, and Waiian.
Each of these artists brought their signature sound to the stage, proving that Filipino talent is setting trends in the music scene. From spirited beats to soul-stirring lyrics, these acts remind us that Wanderland will always be a platform for the future of local music.
It’s A Yes!
We all went to Wanderland 2025 for the music, but we got a little extra this year. During Honne’s set on Day 2, a couple got engaged, and honestly, it was one of those moments that made the whole weekend truly memorable.
With the crowd’s energy and perfect timing, it felt like everything came together for this once-in-a-lifetime moment. For those of us who were there, it was a reminder that Wanderland will always be about those moments that stay with you long after the last song.
One Bob at a Time
We’ve always had a soft spot for Wanderland merch, but this year, the Wander Bob Blind Box took it to a whole new level. With each box hiding a mini version of Wander Bob—Wanderland’s ever-popular mascot—it was impossible not to get caught up in the excitement of collecting them all. We were lucky enough to grab the Space and Magic Bobs, but here’s hoping we’ll get the World one next year!
Wander Bob and Ms. Green IRL
As if the Wander Bob Blind Boxes weren’t enough, the real-life Wander Bob showed up at the festival, and it was everything. The little mascot roamed the grounds, and you bet we got our pictures taken with him. There was something about seeing Wander Bob in person that made the whole festival feel even more electric.
And for those who missed him, Ms. Green from the M&M’s crew was there too, bringing even more fun to the atmosphere. It was like every corner of Wanderland was bursting with surprises, and we couldn’t get enough.
The Nostalgia Trip We Didn’t Know We Needed
If Wanderland 2025 had a theme, it was time travel. We went in expecting an epic lineup, but we didn’t expect the nostalgia punch. When Mayonnaise and Urbandub played their hits, it was like we had been transported straight to high school when these ~hugot~ tracks were on repeat.
And then came Plain White T’s with Hey There Delilah, and the crowd went wild. Suddenly, it was the early 2000s again, as everyone scream-sang along. And honestly, for a moment, we were all convinced we could still hit those notes like it was prom night.
Sloan Struble Wears Jollibee, and We’re Here for It
Wanderland has always been a melting pot of cultures, but this year, Sloan Struble of Dayglow made it feel even more special when he rocked a Jollibee tee on stage. Honestly, at this point, Jollibee is practically a global ambassador. Watching Sloan perform while proudly repping the popular fast food chain was a perfect moment that felt so right. It was one of those small, unexpected things that made us smile and reminded us how much our love for Jollibee has reached beyond borders.
