GENERAL TRIAS CITY, CAVITE — The historic town plaza turned into a massive community sing-along as Fiesta Jam 2026 delivered an unforgettable evening of high-energy live performances. Held under the annual Pistang Tata Kiko celebrations, the free public concert bridged iconic national hitmakers with the thriving grassroots music scene of General Trias.
Setlist Highlights and Main Stage Acts
The premier headlining band Neocolours transported the crowd straight back to the golden era of OPM, opening with crowd-chaperoned anthems like "Say You'll Never Go," "Tuloy Pa Rin," "Hold On," "Kasalanan Ko Ba?," and "Maybe." The band's performance created a nostalgic atmosphere that resonated with audiences of all ages, many of whom grew up listening to these timeless hits. Guest acts The 5 of Us and David Cruz, supported by a collective of GenTri's finest local musicians, set a vibrant, high-energy tone early in the program before the main band took over. As the City Government of General Trias and Mayor Jon-Jon Ferrer expressed, "Sabay-sabay tayong kumanta, sumayaw at nag-enjoy sa isang gabing puno ng saya at musika!" (Together we sang, danced, and enjoyed a night filled with joy and music!) The free public concert served as a unifying experience for the community, bringing together residents from various barangays to celebrate their shared love for music and their city's vibrant cultural heritage.
Continuing the October Festival Wave
The success of Fiesta Jam served as a high-octane kickoff for a packed month of civic and cultural milestones in the city.
