Filipino indie rock band We Are Imaginary will be representing the Philippines at this year’s NO HEADLINER 4, happening in West Lake Water Park in Hanoi, Vietnam on October 18 – 19, 2025.
Now bigger in scale and freer in spirit, the independent music festival will bring together 20 international and local acts, spanning genres from alternative rock, indie, R&B, experimental, and beyond. Alongside the live music segment of the festival, the creative experience area has also been expanded to offer audiences a range of engaging, art-connected activities and interactive spaces.
“It is always our dream to be heard around Asia so to be invited and to play once again outside our usual turf is such an exciting opportunity,” shares Ahmad Tanji, the lead vocalist and guitarist of We Are Imaginary. “Our last international gig was for the Archipelago Festival (Jakarta, Indonesia) last 2017. It has been a while indeed.”
We Are Imaginary is the first Filipino band to be performing in the Hanoi-based festival, an opportunity that comes ahead of their long overdue album, slated to be released at the end of the year.
“We also have a new single this October, and hopefully we’ll be able to drop our long overdue album this November,” Ahmad adds. “We are planning lots of shows in different cities in and out of the Philippines. Watch out for that!”
A month ago, the Filipino indie rock outfit released their new single “Stockholm,” is a gripping meditation on toxic attachment disguised as love. The track marks a pivotal moment for frontman and guitarist Ahmad Tanji, who channels years of disquietude into one of the band’s most sonically and lyrically captivating releases to date.
Accompanying the song release is a Dracula-themed music video shot in Bangkok City. The MV centers around a reclusive Dracula figure, rendered in monochrome even while the world around the character thrives in full, popping color.
