2014 was a great year for live foreign acts in the Philippines. Bands such as Phoenix, The National, Mogwai, Chvrches, and The Lemonheads graced us with music most of us probably thought we’d never hear live. There were a lot of screaming, a lot of sing-alongs, and a number of ugly crying. Everything was so damn beautiful.

It’s now 2014, and most of you probably cannot wait to go through more.

Let’s hope that this year’s visitors will give the same excitement. Here are 8 (non-One Direction) acts and local festivals that have confirmed their Philippine gigs this year.
