Wanderland Festival last took place between 9 and 10 March 2019 at the Filinvest City Event Grounds in Alabang, Metro Manila. It was headlined by Two Door Cinema Club and The Kooks, and also featured a diverse range of regional and international acts such as Honne, SG Lewis, Clairo, Adoy, Mac Ayres, Charlie Lim and Clara Benin.

The festival was initially scheduled to return in 2020 between 7 and 8 March, but was eventually postponed as the COVID-19 pandemic maintained health concerns and prompted multiple artists to withdraw. The 2020 edition would have featured a lineup including Nick Murphy, NIKI, Omar Apollo, Bruno Major, Joji, IV of Spades and Foals. The festival later organised a substitute virtual event in October 2020 with Wanderland: Home Court, which featured artists such as Joan, Masego, Honne, Phum Viphurit and Rusty Machines.

The Wanderland Festival’s return in 2023 is the most recent announcement of an international music event in the Philippines. Other upcoming concerts and festivals in the Philippines include Alanis Morissette, Russ, Avril Lavigne, Justin Bieber, Boys Like Girls, Boy Pablo, and the recently announced Manila edition of 88rising’s Head In The Clouds festival, slated to take place on 9 & 10 December 2022.
