Introvoys Headlines 2nd Annual Mayfest in Carson

April 7, 2023





Carson, California - Award-winning Filipino pop rock band Introvoys will headline Mayfest 2023 that is happening at the Carson Civic Center on Sunday May 7, at 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm. There will be two stages of amazing performances, a car show, a fashion show, games, awards, prizes and other fun activities, and all members of the community are welcome to join this fun-filled, family-friendly event. We will recognize caregivers, agencies and care providers who are exceptional leaders in care and whose services are valuable to the community. Admission to the event is FREE!




The premier provider of alternative platforms for musical acts Wish USA is bringing Introvoys to the Mayfest main stage this year. Now based in Los Angeles, California, the band is composed of Vic Carpio on guitars, Jj Buencamino on keyboards, Paco Arespacochaga on drums and Jonathan Buencamino on vocals. This multi-awarded band brought us chart-topping hits such as “Di Na Ko Aasa Pa,” “Will I Survive,” “However Which Way” and “Line to Heaven.” Their second album, Breaking New Grounds, achieved quadruple platinum status and earned the band the label “The No. 1 Band in the Land” in 1992. Their third album, Line to Heaven, carried the hit single of the same title, which was written after Arespacochaga suffered the tragic loss of his parents and another hit song, "Kailanman.” After a series of lineup changes and reunions, the band finds itself with its current roster in Los Angeles headlining a series of concerts celebrating Original Pilipino Music in The Biggest OPM Summer Fest starting at Anaheim in July of this year. Catch their special performance at Mayfest!
