CloseUp Forever Summer takes off from Closeup’s first music festival in 2013, Closeup Summer Solstice, a 12-hour outdoor party featuring dance music acts like Afrojack, Cedric Gervais, Alex Gaudino, Dev, and Cobra Starship. Closeup Forever Summer was supposedly Closeup’s year-ender party set to happen in November 2013, which was called off to sympathize with those who have been affected by super typhoon Yolanda.
And this year, there's definitely no stopping #CloseUpForeverSummer.
CloseUp has been inviting everyone to create the party with them on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram by letting their fans decide the details of the event starting with the music: EDM or indie? Indoor or outdoor?
CloseUp Forever Summer is the first and only music festival of its kind that allows the public to decide on how the party should happen.
And you, my friends, can have your say on the party by telling the CloseUp team what you want and how you want it through their Facebook page, Twitter@closeupph and Instagram@closeupph, and by using the hashtag #CloseUpForeverSummer.
“We want people to own summer and have it exactly how they want it. This year’s Closeup Forever Summer is about creating lasting moments by getting everyone together to decide how they want the party to go down,” says CloseUp Brand Manager Gem Laforteza.
The Closeup social media accounts have also been posting clues to acknowledge fans' suggestions for their favorite artists and headliners for #CloseupForeverSummer happening on April 5, 2014.
And on February 26, the full details and artist lineup of CloseUp Forever Summer will be revealed in an announcement party, featuring the Berlin-based DJ and producer Thomas Gold at Republiq Club, Resorts World Manila.
So hurry and tell 'em how you'd want #CloseUpForeverSummer to be like,

And Manila, Philippines is one of their destinations.
On June 24, 2012, it was announced through their website that the final leg of their 2012 tour would be their last: "Today we want to share with you, that the tour we are about to go on will be our last. We want to thank every single one of you that came with us on this journey. We came, we raved, we loved."
It is unknown whether the group members will collaborate with each other again. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine in regards to the group's breakup, Angello said that "we just decided that we reached a point where we didn't know what the next move would be," and that "we've had beyond our dreams and we've come very, very far"; Angello also stated that he is focusing on developing his own label while on hiatus.
