Wish 107.5 celebrated its 11th year on August 25, 2025, Friday, at Eton Centris Open Grounds. An estimated 4,000 attendees flocked to the venue to witness performances from today’s most sought-after artists.

Rob Deniel opened the night with a Wish Bus performance of the soon-to-be-released “Kalawakan.” After singing on the bus, Deniel made his Stopover Sessions debut with “Happy Ending” and “Miss Miss.”

The Wish Stopover Sessions is a new video series by Wish 107.5, featuring acts performing on a makeshift stage mounted right outside the Wish Bus.

With versatile vocals and an undeniable stage presence to boot, Angela Ken performed recently released songs, including “Kulimlim” and “Pwede Bang Mamaya?”

She also debuted a still-unreleased track called “Baka Bukas.” The singer-songwriter ended her set with a powerful performance of “Ako Naman Muna.”

P-pop fans were also in for a treat last Friday night, as G22 and KAIA got featured on the Stopover Sessions.

The former delivered “Pa-Pa-Pa-Palaban” and “Filipina Queen,” while the latter performed “TANGA” and “Walang Biruan.” Prior to their Stopover performance, KAIA also boarded the Wish Bus to perform their song “You Did It.”

Dilaw and Lola Amour had stunning back-to-back sets.

Dilaw brought to the stage two tracks from their upcoming debut full-length album, “RARARA,” due for unveiling on September 5. The first one, “Black N’ White,” was recently premiered, while the groovy “All In” remains unreleased.

Lola Amour also delivered new tracks off their latest effort, “Love on Loop,” performing the titular track and “With You” aboard the Wish Bus. They also jammed out to their hits “Fallen” and “Raining in Manila” for their stint on the Stopover Sessions.

One of the main highlights of the evening was IV of Spades‘ surprise Wish 107.5 comeback, performing “Aura” and “Nanaman” on the Stopover stage. After their performance, the band — through a teaser shown on an LED screen — announced that they will release a brand-new album on November 5.

Apart from championing music, Wish 107.5 is also all about paying it forward.

For its anniversary event, the station — together with partnering brands Unilab, TIki-Tiki, Enervon Z+, Skelan, Bioflu, RiteMed, and KeratinPlus — doled out Php100,000 to seven beneficiaries with various medical needs.

The recipients include Margarita Jerusalem, 27 years old and diagnosed with lupus nephritis; Regina Faye Sonajo (27), who is battling chronic kidney disease; John Lloyd Nones (22), diagnosed with classic Hodgkin lymphoma; and Arman Rico Angana (15), who is currently receiving treatment at the Philippine Children’s Medical Center for acute myeloid leukemia.

Also included in the beneficiaries are Saih Ramirez Quindoza (5), who has a congenital heart disease; Matheo Cullen Victoria Luis (3), diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia; and Jewel Pantaleon Castro, who is a premature baby born at 26 weeks.
