Closeup’s Forever Summer on social media

MANILA, Philippines - Closeup promises a more exciting festival this year as it presents Closeup Forever Summer, the first-ever crowd-sourced party in the country. Closeup gives partygoers control over this summer’s freshest party.

The first question posed was a choice between indie or an electronica party. The recent popularity of EDM won in the polls with people’s outspokenness about which of their favorite DJs they would like to experience at the event. Closeup also asked people to vote between the great outdoors and the comfortable indoors, and whether they preferred a vibrant carnival theme or a fresh beach party.

After months of highly-publicized planning with over 500,000 people on social media, Closeup announces the details for Closeup Forever Summer.

The public has spoken — mostly through Facebook and Twitter. “After several polls and asking for everyone’s opinion on things like the theme, venue, genre and artists, Closeup brings back Closeup Forever Summer with a beach-themed, Electronic Dance Music (EDM) party set in outdoorsy Circuit Makati,” said Closeup brand manager Gem Laforteza.

After weeks of listening in on people’s social media conversation, Closeup announced three foreign DJs and four local DJs as the acts for the music festival last Feb. 26 at Republiq.

The people’s choice to headline Closeup Forever Summer is Alesso, whose sets are among the most popular at the world’s largest music festivals such as Tomorrowland, Ultra Music Festival and the Electrid Daisy Carnival (EDC). The famous Swedish DJ has collaborated with producers Sebastian Ingrosso, Calvin Harris and OneRepublic, resulting to unforgettable tracks like Calling, Years, If I Lose Myself and Under Control.

Joining Alesso are DJs Helena and Deniz Koyu. Helena is one of EDM’s rising stars with her progressive, electro and house beats. She has topped dance charts in Australia, cracked the Top 10 on Beatport, and has played the most popular stages around the globe, headlining Ultra Music Festival’s main stage last year. Big-room banger, Deniz Koyu is behind some of the most popular remixes to artists like Zedd (Spectrum), Mike Snow (Pretender), David Guetta (Just One Last Time), Krewella (Live For The Night) and Fedde Le Grand (So Much Love).

Completing the line-up are local club favorites DJs Ace Ramos, Mars Miranda, Martin Pulgar and Marc Naval.

Closeup Forever Summer is set on April 5 at the Globe Circuit Event Grounds. Tickets, sold in all SM Ticket outlets, are priced at P4,000 for VIP and P2,500 for Gold.
