Rolling Stone Philippines has arrived.

Rockstars and icons gathered to celebrate the official launch of the local edition that is set to cover music, politics, and culture, showcasing journalism that speaks truth to power. “Rolling Stone reframed culture,” says Jonty Cruz, the magazine’s chief of editorial content. “Rolling Stone Philippines is not just here to honor what came before; It’s here to create new narratives.”

The launch party was a glittering affair held at the nightclub-esque lounge Salon de Ning at The Peninsula Manila. Guests, dressed in chic black-on-black attire, embraced a bold look that pays tribute to the rebellious spirit of rockstars. The evening was charged by the pulse of live performances, vibrant fashion, and the undeniable excitement of launching a new era for Rolling Stone Philippines.

To recap every moment, Rolling Stone Philippines has compiled some of the best snapshots of the night.
