Presented by Rolling Gum, the event offered more than just a music video premiere, featuring a lineup of incredible artists, insights into the upcoming Bobapalooza Music Festival 2024, and an introduction to the force behind it all, Rolling Gum.
Criminal Cinema, a dynamic quartet comprising Kelvin, Clark, Anthony, and Sam, took the stage amidst much anticipation.
The band, formed in 2020, has been making waves in the local music scene with its unique sound and captivating performances. “Apple,” the group’s standout single, initially debuted on September 23, 2022, and since then, it has gained a dedicated fanbase.
The evening wasn’t solely centered around Criminal Cinema’s performance, as the stage saw an impressive lineup of other Filipino bands, each adding their distinctive flavor to the musical celebration. CHNDTR, Figvre, Nemic, Halina, and One Click Straight graced the event with their stellar performances, igniting the atmosphere and ensuring that the audience’s musical cravings were thoroughly satisfied.
Gayle Oblea, the Chief Executive Officer of Rolling Gum, the creative media company behind Criminal Cinema, provided insights into the event’s significance. She emphasized that the night held three core objectives: showcasing the exceptional talent of Criminal Cinema, offering a glimpse into the realm of Rolling Gum, and heralding the arrival of the eagerly anticipated Bobapalooza Music Festival 2024.
“The festival, slated for the upcoming year, promises to be a grand musical extravaganza and is anticipated to draw a massive crowd of around 40 thousand attendees over two days,” Oblea told Manila Standard Entertainment.
“It’s going to be an experiential event, and I think that’s what sets Bobapalooza apart from all other festivals in the country,” she added.
As the night unfolded, attendees were treated not only to a mesmerizing showcase of musical prowess but also to a glimpse of the vibrant musical future that Rolling Gum and Criminal Cinema are weaving together.
