MANILA, Philippines – The Circuitfest 2013: music and skate festival in Circuit Makati Saturday night turned into a wet and wild party after strong rains poured unexpectedly but failed to stop the concert.

Around 7:20 p.m. during the performance of Before You Exit, strong rains fell but there was no exit for the audience who continued to scream their lungs out while pulling out their umbrellas for cover.

Before You Exit acknowledged the crowds, saying “We thank you guys for staying out despite the rain, you’re really great, thank you!”

Earlier in the afternoon, a light drizzle that lasted for around an hour failed to damped the spirits of the audience who continued to stay in the open grounds of Circuit Makati to root for their favorite bands.
