MG Philippines launches MG Live! free concert series

Published Mar 21, 2019 04:02 pm
032219MG1 MG Philippines is mounting MG Live! Powered by Phoenix Petroleum; a free concert series that highlights some the country’s top bands and the car brand’s fun and vibrant spirit. MG Live! Powered by Phoenix Petroleum promises exciting performances from Gracenote; Sandwich; Hilera; Moonstar88; and Ultra Combo. These bands are stalwarts in the local music scene and are also, in one way or another, responsible for the songs that have moved, touched, and inspired Filipinos for years. “A big part of what makes MG cars special is their ability to satisfy a wide range of various needs and lifestyles. These vehicles are trusty daily drivers during busy work days, but versatile enough for a weekend getaway,” said Atty. Alberto B. Arcilla, President and CEO of The Covenant Car Company, Inc. “MG Live! is a way for us to showcase our full vehicle lineup, announce our innovative aftersales complements, and unveil our upcoming dealership locations in a manner all Filipinos can appreciate: music. It’s also a chance for us to let everyone know that MG is vibrant, youthful in spirit, and made for everyone who wants to enjoy life to the fullest.” Special MG giveaways and VIP concert passes await those who take part in the interactive games at the MG Philippines booth. For example, simply liking the MG Philippines Facebook (OfficialMGPhilippines) page and sharing any MG Live!-related post, or following the Instagram account (mg_philippines) and posting a photo using the hashtags #MGPhilippines, #MGLive, and #ComeAliveWithPhoenixPulse allows guests to take home premium MG and Phoenix merchandise. Completion of both tasks gives the guest one raffle ticket to qualify for a VIP pass to each concert leg, which will be confirmed via direct message or private message by MG Phils. Catch Hilera and Moonstar88 on March 30, 2019 at the SM Megamall Fashion Hall. Ultra Combo performs on April 6, 2019 at the Manila International Auto Show at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. Aside from the exciting MG Live! concert events, a full lineup of modern MG vehicles like  the MG ZS crossover SUV, MG 6 fastback sedan, and the RX5 compact SUV will be made available for test drive, giving everyone the opportunity to get behind the wheel of these stylish, modern, #BritishBred cars. A classic MGB V8 two-door roadster will also be showcased, as a nod to the brand’s rich and colorful heritage.   In the same way that the MG Live! concert series gives Filipino music lovers what they want, MG Philippines builds off of this notion and gives the Filipino motoring public the modern, attainable British heritage automobiles they have always wanted, while also offering the dynamic value proposition of every MG vehicle.
