From folktronica to indigenous hip-hop, Our Shame and HengJones co-headline the regional music showcase and conference festival alongside artists from Singapore, Indonesia, New Zealand, and the Philippines
Taiwanese hip-hop artist Heng Jones and alternative pop duo Our Shame will co-headline All Of The Noise 2026, a three-day, multi-venue cultural event that will take place in Astbury Makati (April 17 and 19), Sari-Sari Makati (April 17 and 19), and 123 Block in Mandaluyong City (April 18).
Two of the most promising up-and-coming artists in Taiwan’s independent music scene, Grrrl Gang, Arash Buana, and Gavendri from Indonesia, Phoebe Rings from New Zealand, Shye from Singapore, and our very own BP Valenzuela, DJ Love, Elijah Canlas, Fitterkarma, Ourselves the Elves, SOS, and others from the Asia Pacific region will be joining the lineup.
Making their official debut in Manila, Our Shame and HengJones bring distinct sonic identities honed by culture, experimentation, and storytelling. Our Shame will perform at the intimate Sari-Sari stage on April 17, while HengJones takes over the outdoor stage at 123 Block on April 18.
Our Shame arrives on the heels of their critically acclaimed Hidden Album, a concept-driven project that explores themes of intimacy and discovery through a layered folktronica lens. Combining acoustic instrumentation with field recordings and electronic textures that extend from trip-hop to UK garage influences, the indie duo makes compelling pop tunes that are sonically understated but whose songwriting feels personal and immersive. The Taiwanese pairing is currently developing extended works from the album, including prospective international collaborations with plans for a tour in Japan in late 2026 or early 2027.
HengJones, on the other hand, continues to gather incredible recognition for his debut album, fangcalay a tamedaw—a deeply introspective body of work rooted in Indigenous Pangcah (Amis) identity. Built on themes of matriarchal narratives and language preservation, the project reflects an important intersection of heritage and contemporary hip-hop culture. Following a well-lauded performance in Shibuya, Japan, HengJones is currently working on a new material featuring a Japanese producer, alongside major appearances and an upcoming nationwide tour in his home country, Taiwan.
Beyond live performances, All Of The Noise 2026 broadens its cultural reach with its Cut Through The Noise conference, which addresses important issues influencing the local music scene, and Echoes of the Noise, a carefully chosen collection of music documentaries examining the connections between sound, identity, and social movements.
All Of The Noise 2026 maintains its dedication to establishing the Philippines’ expanding position as a crucial hub in Asia’s developing independent music environment through its multi-platform programming and international partnerships.
