Smart Music Live kicks off stellar concert series starting July 14

To celebrate and break even more barriers when it comes to going digital, Smart Communications presents to its subscribers a free concert on July 14 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum featuring some of the country’s most exciting artists. 

Dubbed as Smart Music Live, the concert features Crwn, Up Dharma Down, Nathan Sykes, Autotelic, Aegis and Ely Buendia.

“Smart Music Live is just the tip of the iceberg because there’s an entire roster of international acts to witness and experience in the coming months if you’re a Smart subscriber. This July 14 music fusion signals a series of live concerts, up close and personal experiences because we know that music is one of the pillars of digital entertainment alongside videos, movies, TV serials and gaming—all of these and more are now part of the digital habit of our consumers,” said Kat Luna-Abelarde, FVP and Head of Wireless Consumer Operations for Smart.

Crwn is a music producer, composer and beatmaker who has collaborated with Filipino artists like singer Jess Connelly. On the other hand, Up Dharma Down is a Filipino band which was featured by Time magazine in 2007. The group describes its sound as its own, based on elements from different genres. With Armi Millare as lead singer, Up Dharma Down's music is enjoyed by music lovers of all ages.

Nathan Sykes may be known for being part of the British boyband The Wanted but he is now a solo artist and songwriter with a top single "Kiss Me Quick" to his credit while Autotelic is a homegrown Filipino group popular for its dance rock tunes.

Who doesn't know Aegis and Ely Buendia? Aegis, with sister Juliet and Mercy on vocals, has inspired the hit musical Rak of Aegis. The group's songs, including "Halik," "Luha" and Basang Basa Sa Ulan," are Filipino sentimental favorites. Ely Buendia, formerly lead vocalist of the band Eraserheads, is considered one of the most prolific songwriters of his generation. 

Selena Gomez, Panic! At The Disco, Shawn Mendes next

Upcoming Smart Music Live events include Selena Gomez’s forthcoming Manila concert on July 31, In the Mix concert featuring The 1975, Third Eye Blind and Panic! At The Disco + James Bay, Elle King and Twin Pines live at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on August 18. Finally, Shawn Mendes holds his Manila concert in October.

“We recently launched the Smart Life app where Smart users can now easily access their passions, including music, with ease. And since Smart Life is bringing the entire music experience with you, anywhere you go, Smart Music Live on the other hand, brings subscribers right where music happens and up close with your favorite local and foreign artists.” said Luna-Abelarde.
