Pre-events edit
Wanderband is Wanderland's annual battle of the local independent bands. The winner and runner-up are given the chance to play live at Wanderland Music and Arts Festival.[2] Since 2017, Wanderland launched a similar annual battle for live visual artists.
In partnership with JanSport, Wanderland held a prelude mini concert to the Wanderland Music and Arts Festival 2015 entitled Bonfire Sessions at the SM Mall of Asia in Pasay.[3]
Wanderland 2020 edit
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the Philippines, organizers announced on March 4, 2020, that the music festival would be indefinitely postponed in accordance with quarantine, mass gathering, and social distancing protocols set by the Inter-Agency Task Force for the Management of Emerging Infectious Diseases.[4]
Wanderland 2023 edit
After a two-year hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Karpos announced in November 2022 that they would hold Wanderland again on March 4–5, 2023, which would be billed as Wanderland: The Comeback. For the event, Karpos retained the sports and athletics theme that they initially used for Wanderland 2020.[5]
