Mechafest 2021 is happening this March!

With five stages and over 100 acts, Mechafest 2021 is an international online festival that's been put together by music curators from across the globe, including Filipino music blog The Flying Lugaw, in hopes of showcasing good music while also raising money for NIVA, a non-profit organisation that aims to support the independent music scene, and Tulong Kabataan Network, a network of youth relief and rehabilitation programs. 

The virtual festival will happen across four days from 25 to 28 March via Twitch.
