Filipino boy band SB19 are coming to Dubai: Ticket prices, venue and date
Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken and Justin will light up the stage at Coca-Cola Arena on Saturday October 11, with bold choreography and catchy tunes.
The P-pop band have amassed a massive global following ever since they formed in 2018, with tracks like Tilaluha and Go Up catapulting them into the spotlight.
Dubai will be one of the next stops on the Simula At Wakas world tour, which has seen the Pinoy stars perform in Southeast Asia, North America and Tokyo so far.
For the uninitiated, you can expect a night of modern pop, hip-hop and electronic music infused with Filipino identity.
One of the biggest acts to come out of the Philippines, the band spent seven weeks at number one on Billboard's Hot Trending Songs chart with their hit single Bazinga back in 2021.
If you're interested in getting to know the band better, then check out the Netflix documentary Pagtatag, which explores the band's last global tour.
With more than 1.2 million followers on Instagram, it's certain to be one of the hottest tickets in town once they're on sale.
Tickets for the Dubai show are priced from Dhs199 and available initially in Live Nation Middle East's pre-sale at noon on Thursday August 7.
And if you miss out on the pre-sale then you'll get another chance to snag some tickets in the general sale from noon on Friday August 8.
It's been a big year for P-pop in Dubai, with BINI proving to be a smash hit when they performed at Coca-Cola Arena in May.

Asian Persuasion review – indie New York romcom of divorcee meddling in his ex's dating life
It is unexpected to see vintage romcom values upheld in an indie movie populated almost exclusively by Filipino-Americans. Tony award-winning producer Jhett Tolentino at least has a good high-concept hook for his feature directorial debut: a beleaguered divorcee tries to get out of paying alimony to his ex-wife by making a fake dating profile to bag her a new partner. Sadly, this tonally shaky and borderline-sociopathic outing doesn't have the class or skill to be part of the much-needed renaissance for the genre. Asian Persuasion takes place on the great New York dating grounds beloved of many a romcom: feckless single dad Mickey (Dante Basco, who played the leader of the Lost Boys in Steven Spielberg's Hook) is struggling to elevate his Queens coffee shop, Da Fili Beans, to hipster notoriety. Ponying up payments to his fashion designer ex Avery (KC Concepcion) as they co-parent their daughter isn't helping. So during a night on the lash with his wingman Caspian (Kevin Kreider), they cook up a scheme to make her someone else's problem; preppy financial analyst Lee-Kwan (Paolo Montalban) is the man they target as their best hope. Tolentino's attempts to court the zeitgeist are often painful, including Caspian premiering his latest TikTok dance at the coffee shop, and self-conscious dialogue apparently drawn from below-the-line on Instagram ('Can I unsubscribe from that memory?'). This extends to a strain of crassness ('We're practically drowning in a tsunami of poon') that makes for a rough transition to true romance, when Mickey uses his insider knowledge to knock Lee-Kwan into shape, Cyrano-style, as the ultimate seducer. So it's not a shock when Asian Persuasion lacks the finesse required to pull off the U-turn when Mickey decides he wants Avery back. His ham-fisted sushi-bar sabotage scheme is completely unconvincing, leaving the already hard-pedalling actors looking daft. The cursory flashbacks to the couple's disintegrating marriage first time round don't add enough depth to make him seem much more than manipulative, or her more than an inexplicable dupe. Alternately gullible or status-obsessed, its female characters feel retrograde – even featuring a French character actually wearing a beret. The film doesn't exactly cover itself in glory, a shame considering Tolentino's evident zeal for promoting Asian representation. Asian Persuasion is on digital platforms from 25 August.
