SB19 is gearing up for their groundbreaking performance at Lollapalooza, scheduled for July 30, 2026. The group, known for their dedication to promoting Filipino music, sees this opportunity as a chance to inspire global audiences.

During rehearsals in the United States, leader Pablo expressed the surreal nature of their upcoming performance. He emphasized the group's long-standing goal of introducing Filipino music worldwide.

For seven years now, one of our goals is to really introduce Filipino music all over the world and to be able to perform in the biggest stages like Lollapalooza is such a dream.

The emotional weight of this milestone was felt by member Stell, who recalled his overwhelming reaction upon receiving the news.

Josh and Justin noted that this achievement is a testament to their hard work within the P-pop industry. They expressed a sense of urgency to make the most of this opportunity.

Ken conveyed gratitude to their fans, A'TIN, for their unwavering support throughout the years.

As ambassadors of Filipino culture, SB19 aims to present their authentic selves and create a ripple effect that encourages others to explore Filipino music and traditions.

Hopefully, it becomes a ripple effect. It becomes one of the stepping stones where people could dive deep in the rabbit hole and see what Filipino music and what Filipino culture is all about.
