If you’ve been scrolling through your feed looking for that one “main character” moment to start your year, look no further. This January, Clark Global City isn’t just a venue—it’s transforming into a literal dreamscape.

On January 17 and 18, the inaugural HIRAYA Night Sky Festival 2026 is set to take over, and trust me when I say: your Pinterest boards are not ready for this. Named after the ancient Filipino word for “the fruit of one’s hopes and dreams,” HIRAYA is more than just a music fest; it’s a full-blown multi-sensory takeover.

Sun-Up to Sun-Down: A Playground for the Bold

The gates open early, and the vibes are immaculate from the jump. Imagine starting your morning watching majestic hot air balloons paint the horizon while paramotors sweep through the clouds. If you’re a bit of an adrenaline junkie, the car drifting exhibitions will definitely get your heart racing.

Between the activities, you can get lost in the experiential zones (perfect for those aesthetic IG shots) or refuel at the curated food park. Whether you’re a foodie, a photography nut, or just there for the atmosphere, there’s no room for boredom here.

Day 1: When the Sky Glows and the Bass Drops

As the sun begins to dip on Saturday, the real magic happens. The Hot Air Balloon Lighting at Sunset is the official “curtain raiser,” where giant balloons illuminate against the orange sky. It’s a sight that honestly feels like a movie scene.

Once night falls, the stage belongs to the heavy hitters. We’re talking live sets from:

• Sunkissed Lola (bring your singing voices!)
• Juan Karlos
• Flow G
• Cuatro Band, Amiel Sol, and Earl Agustin

And just when you think the night can’t get any better? A massive drone light show and fireworks display will cap off the evening.

Day 2: The Ultimate Encore and the Return of Icons

Sunday isn’t for resting—it’s for leveling up. Day 2 features a fresh lineup of favorites including Bandang Lapis, Rob Deniel, and Dionela. But let’s be real: the buzz is all about the closing performance by IV of Spades. Seeing them under the Clark night sky? Literal chills.

To make sure we go out with a bang, the festival is doubling down on the giant balloon displays and ending with an official after-party powered by DJ Lovezy.

Why “HIRAYA” is the Vibe for 2026

In a world that moves so fast, HIRAYA asks us to slow down and look up. It’s a celebration of the dreamers—the artists, the musicians, and the community that dares to imagine something bigger. With the sky as the stage and the city as the canvas, this is where your 2026 dreams finally take flight.
