The Rest Is Noise (TRIN), a music curation and events production outfit based in the Philippines, returns with the fourth edition of All Of The Noise 2026. The showcase and conference event will take place across three venues in Metro Manila: Astbury Makati (April 17 and 19), Sari-Sari in Makati City (April 17 and 19), and 123 Block in Mandaluyong City (April 18).

This year’s edition will feature dynamic, multi-format music programming centered on community building, cross-cultural collaboration, and visibility, positioning Filipino and Asian music as vital forces within the global creative economy.

“This year’s programming is more expansive than ever, growing from two days to three, with each day offering a different entry point into the experience and live music happening throughout,” shares Mary Christine Galang, co-founder and creative director of The Rest Is Noise PH. “We’re welcoming more than 20 artists this year, including Filipino artists from across the country as well as international acts from across Asia-Pacific.”

Originally conceived as a year-end, midsized music festival, the fourth iteration of All Of The Noise 2026 brings together live performances, talks and panel discussions, documentary screenings, a music market, networking, and private studio sessions into one shared experience.

“We want people to come not only to discover artists, but to engage with the ideas, conversations, and communities that shape the music around them,” Galang adds. “That has always been at the core of what we do at TRIN.”

Live Music Programming

The live music showcase will run across multiple venues on three dates, featuring highly anticipated performances by New Zealand’s Phoebe Rings, Indonesia’s Grrrl Gang, Arash Buana, and Gavendri; Singapore’s Shye and Pines; and Taiwan’s Heng Jones.

Other performers include BP Valenzuela, Fitterkarma, SOS, Ourselves the Elves, Elijah Canlas, DJ Love (Davao), VVINK, Playertwo, fern, August Wahh, School Girl Classic (Cebu), Delinquent Society (Davao), Alyson, Novocrane, Amateurish (Baguio), Carousel Casualties, Magiliw Street, and kyleaux.

Music Conference

All Of The Noise 2026 also announces the return of its flagship conference program, Cut Through The Noise. Designed to address the evolving needs of the local and regional music sectors, the program will feature panel discussions and keynote presentations on the most pressing trends, challenges, and opportunities shaping today’s music ecosystem.

Each panel will have a moderator and resource speakers who will provide insights and expert opinions. From market development and cross-border collaboration to innovation, policy, and audience growth, Cut Through The Noise aims to equip stakeholders with the knowledge and networks necessary to navigate an increasingly competitive global landscape. Panelists and speakers will be announced in the coming days.

Music-Themed Documentary Screenings

This year, All Of The Noise 2026 will feature local and international music documentaries that intersect music, movements, culture, and politics through its Echoes of the Noise program.

Featured screenings include the international premiere of Alulu Kuo’s Elephant Gym: More Real Than Dreams, which chronicles the band’s journey as they faced a potential breakup before a world tour and explored their unique musical world. The Philippine screening will include a talkback with Elephant Gym’s Tell Chang.

Other screenings include Nolan Bernardino’s Rosas: The Song. The Journey, which became an anthem of hope during the 2022 national elections, and Frazier de Mesa’s This is Hannah+Gabi, exploring the beloved band’s music-making and performance process from the filmmaker’s perspective.

Culture and Community

“Beyond the performances, we’re especially proud of this year’s curation of documentary films, cultural discussions, and community-driven moments that create space for deeper exchange,” Galang explains. “AOTN 2026 is about presenting independent music as immersive, thoughtful, and deeply connected to culture and community. It’s also about underscoring the Philippines as an important music market—both in the way we understand ourselves and in how we connect to the rest of the world.”

All Of The Noise 2026 is supported by international and local music partners including ONErpm, Symphonic Distribution, Astbury, 123 Block, Sari-Sari, Nyou Consultancy, and Guevarra’s.
