Y! Rocks Concert Featuring 12 "Breakthrough Acts" Happening on December 8 at SM MOA Concert Grounds
Celebrating “Original Pilipino Music”, Yahoo!, the premier digital media company, has launched Y! Rocks - a music platform for aspiring artistes across the Philippines to showcase their talent via online auditions and land the chance to perform at live concerts in Manila, Cebu and Davao.
With the stage set for the three grand finale events on December 8, 2011, the free concerts will give amateur bands and solo artists a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to share the stage with some of the country’s top music icons including Wolfgang, Urbandub, and Pupil.
Now, a final roster of 12 "Breakthrough Acts" from hundreds who submitted their performance videos were adjudged on Monday, December 5, to perform alongside top Pinoy music icons at the milestone Yahoo! music event, Y! Rocks, on December 8 to be simultaneously held at the SM Mall of Asia Concert Grounds, SM Cebu and SM Davao.
The aspiring acts were judged based on originality (40%), musicality (30%) and chemistry (30%). Judges were led by Organisasyon ng Pilipinong Mang-aawit (OPM) Secretary General Dingdong Avanzado.
Instead of an original planned allotment of four "Breakthrough Acts" per region, ten acts from Metro Manila and Luzon landed in the top 12 and will all perform in the SM Mall of Asia leg of the concert. Only one act each was qualified to perform in the Y! Rocks concerts slated in SM Cebu and SM Davao.
