Get a front-row feel for fan-favorite performances from The Fact Music Awards in an immersive experience landing at Gateway Mall 2 this September.
Filipino fans may not need to book a flight or battle for barricade spots to see some of K-pop’s biggest boy groups up close. This September, a new virtual reality experience is bringing BTS, Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together (TXT), Enhypen, and Boynextdoor into view—minus the massive concert crowd.
2026 Vision Festa: Dive Into the Stars will make its Philippine debut at Quantum Skyview, Upper Ground B, Gateway Mall 2 in Araneta City, with the immersive experience running from September 1 to October 31, 2026. Presented by L-Squared Productions, the project uses VR technology to revisit memorable performances from The Fact Music Awards (TMA).
Five K-pop favorites, one virtual venue
Instead of just screening stages on a standard screen, Vision Festa is designed to pull fans closer to the music acts, pairing VR viewing with previously unseen photos and videos of the artists. The featured footage spans memorable TMA moments from the five participating groups.
That means Armys, Carats, Moas, Engenes, and Onedoors can all find a familiar favorite in the five-group lineup. For Enhypen fans, performances expected in the experience include “Criminal Love,” “Bad Desire (With or Without You),” and “No Doubt,” while Boynextdoor’s “If I Say, I Love You” and “I Feel Good” are also among the featured stages.
The performances come from The Fact Music Awards, an annual Korean awards show launched in 2019 to recognize artists contributing to the global Hallyu wave. Its latest edition was staged in Macao in September 2025, where artists including Enhypen, Boynextdoor, and BTS were among the honorees.
Beyond the big stage
The experience does not stop once the virtual stage goes dark. Vision Festa also brings supporters behind the scenes, with previously unreleased photos and videos adding another layer to the featured talent showcases. The extra content gives fans a peek at moments they may not have caught during the original broadcasts, turning the attraction into a mix of music, memories, and immersive media.
It gives longtime fans another way to revisit different eras of their favorite supergroups, too. With stages pulled from The Fact Music Awards’ archives, the music event packages familiar shows in a format designed to feel intimate and more personal than watching them back on a phone or laptop.
A closer kind of K-pop concert
Vision Festa arrives as virtual concerts continue to carve out a different kind of fan experience. Rather than replacing the roar and rush of seeing an idol live, VR can offer something a stadium seat cannot always promise: an unusually close perspective on the performers and production.
For Filipino fans, that makes the Manila run a chance to revisit favorite stages from a fresh, front-row-like perspective—whether your bias belongs to BTS, Seventeen, TXT, Enhypen, or Boynextdoor.
So, ready your light sticks, rally your fandom friends, and prepare to put on the headset. This time, your favorite K-pop stars may feel virtually within view.
