Eastwood City brings IYAZ, other musical luminaries to its 2013 New Year Countdown

Megaworld Lifestyle Malls and Eastwood City welcomes the New Year with supercharged performances from musical superstars, as they celebrate another year of Living the Good Life in their Countdown to 2013 on December 31 at the Eastwood Mall Open Park.

Donning fun, commemorative 2013 memorabilia from Eastwood City, guests are all invited to join the party, cheer and kiss their loved ones as they watch the Star Drop to celebrate the coming of 2013.

 

Guests have even more to look forward to at this year’s New Year Countdown as Eastwood City is the only celebration in Manila to treat its customers to a foreign artist to this year - none other than renowned reggae hiphop artist IYAZ.

A multi-platinum singer, songwriter and rapper, IYAZ first burst into the music scene with the hit single “Replay”, which reached platinum in different countries all over the world.   This was followed by other hit tracks including “Solo” and “Pretty Girls”. Iyaz is also known for his collaboration with Philippines’ very own Charice for the pop-ballad “Pyramid.”

Other prominent artists will also be rocking Eastwood City’s New Year Countdown to 2013. The festivities, hosted by by Myx VJ Joyce Pring, Sam YG and Slick Rick from Boys Night Out,   include performances from musical icon Ely Buendia, award-winning Filipino rock band Up Dharma Down, hiphop and R&B hitmakers Urbanation, the all-girl rock group General Luna, and X-Factor Philippines finalist Mark Mabasa,

At the stroke of midnight, Eastwood City will be lighting up the skies with a grand fireworks display right after the Dazzling Star Drop, an Eastwood tradition now in its second year that hearkens to the New York Times Square Ball Drop, marking the beginning of 2013.

 For those celebrating the New Year in the provinces and abroad, they can still watch the festivities by logging on to www.megaworldlifestylemalls.com and watch a live stream of the New Year Countdown on the website.

“This year’s Countdown to 2013 will be our biggest and brightest yet. Party with international and local artists, be amazed by the glittering fireworks display, and be dazzled by the amazing Star Drop, our very own Eastwood New Year Tradition. That is why we are inviting everyone to kiss off 2012 and welcome 2013 here in Eastwood City,” said Kevin L. Tan, First Vice President and Commercial Division Head of Megaworld Corporation.
