The 11th Wish Music Awards (WMAs) is set to bring another unforgettable night of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) as it returns to the Araneta Coliseum in Cubao, Quezon City on January 11.
Organized by Wish 107.5, the groundbreaking FM radio station known for its iconic Wish Bus and viral “Wishclusive” performances, the annual awards show honors Filipino musical excellence while supporting causes chosen by the artists themselves — turning each win into a celebration with heart.
This year’s edition will feature live performances from a dynamic mix of award-winning and emerging acts including TJ Monterde, IV of Spades, Arthur Nery, Loonie, Frizzle Anne, Earl Agustin, Amiel Sol, Over October, G22, and fitterkarma. Hosting the evening are industry mainstays Christian Bautista and Karylle.
Fans can catch the Sunday’s event live at the Big Dome or via multiple platforms. The full program will be livestreamed on Wish 107.5’s official YouTube and TikTok channels and simulcast on UNT (UHF Channel 37). The orange carpet pre-show begins at 6 p.m.
Nearly 80 acts are nominated for this 11th edition across 19 major categories. Winners will be determined through a combined voting system: 75 percent from a panel of judges and 25 percent from public voting. The Wishers’ Choice Award — a fan-favorite honor — will go to the nominee who garners the highest number of public votes across all categories.
As in previous years, winners in each major category will receive P25,000, while P100,000 will be donated to a beneficiary of their choice — underscoring the awards’ long-standing commitment to giving back through music.
With its signature fusion of performance, purpose, and participation, the 11th WMAs promises to be another landmark moment for Filipino music — onstage, online, and beyond.
