This year has been a very good one for all the music lovers and fans because a lot of very popular and in-demand artists and bands came over and did a major concert here.  With that, a survey was conducted through this blog over a month ago asking this site’s visitors about who else they want to go or come back here and do a major concert here.

Here the questions the respondents had to answer:

• What band or artist (of present and past decades) do you want to come over and do concert in the Philippines?
• Which local artist or band do you want to do a major concert?
• Which (of the) concert venues do you prefer? (Araneta Coliseum, Fort Bonifacio Open Field, Mall of Asia Complex, SMX Convention Center, CCP, Others)
• How much money are you willing to shell out for every concert / band or artist you wish to see?

Out of 175 respondents, 434 votes were tallied and a total of 173 artists and bands were mentioned (117

foreign bands and artists and 56 local artists). And the the following are the results of the survey:
