P-pop powerhouse SB19 and Live Nation Philippines (LNPH) are celebrating a year of groundbreaking achievements, with their partnership paving the way for several historic milestones that continue to elevate Original Pilipino Music (OPM) worldwide.
In the span of just one year, the partnership between the award-winning quintet and the concert promoter has produced a series of unprecedented achievements, from record-breaking concerts in the Philippines to international festival appearances.
Beginning with SB19 becoming the first Filipino act to sell out the Philippine Arena for two consecutive nights, drawing one of the largest crowds ever by a local artist, the momentum continued with “Wakas at Simula: Homecoming” in April, which brought together fans from different parts of the world in the Philippines to celebrate the group’s journey.
The event became more than a homecoming—it was a global reunion, showcasing the international reach of the group’s passionate fanbase and reinforcing the Philippines as a destination for world-class live entertainment.
Another major milestone came with SB19’s historic debut at the 2026 Lollapalooza Chicago, where the P-pop act became the first Filipino group to perform at one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals.
The group also debuted the live performance of their latest single, “LAWLESS,” which was released on digital streaming platforms just hours before SB19’s highly anticipated festival appearance.
Concertgoers were among the first to witness the debut performance of the new song, along with the setlist of fan favorites, including “DAM,” “GENTO,” “Emoji,” “MAPA,” “Wakas,” “VISA,” “DUNGKA!,” and “CRIMZONE.”
As the Philippines’ newest tourism ambassadors, SB19’s historic feat further marked another significant step in bringing Filipino talent to a global audience and underscores the growing international recognition of OPM.
According to LNPH Managing Director Rhiza Pascua, SB19’s journey has always been about “building sustainable global opportunities for Filipino artists”.
From record-breaking concerts in their hometown to historic performances on the world’s biggest stages, SB19 continues to inspire a new era for OPM through a shared commitment with LNPH, one where Filipino artists are no longer just participating in the global music scene, but helping shape and define it.
