LaLaLa Fest's Manila edition has brought the festival's Indonesian origins into a broader Southeast Asian setting.
The event ran with an eclectic international and regional programme rather than treating Asian audiences as an afterthought to Western touring schedules.
That matters for independent music because Southeast Asia's festival infrastructure increasingly allows artists to build regional audiences across Indonesia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and neighbouring markets instead of treating every territory as an isolated stop.
