Filipino pop group SB19 live in Dubai: Ticket sales dates revealed
Get ready, A'TIN! The Kings of P-Pop (Philippine pop) are returning to Dubai for a spectacular one-night show! Filipino pop sensation SB19 will bring their Simula at Wakas World Tour to the Coca-Cola Arena on October 11, marking their highly anticipated comeback to the city after their sold-out performance at The Agenda in April last year. The tour, named Simula at Wakas (which translates to Beginning and End), supports their latest EP of the same name. Its lead single, 'Dam', debuted at No.1 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, continuing their streak of chart-topping success. With their trademark powerhouse vocals, explosive choreography, and genre-blending sound, the five-member group — Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin — is set to light up the Dubai stage once again. This time, they're not just performers, but artists in full creative control, after the launch of their independent label, 1Z Entertainment. How to get tickets For eager fans waiting to secure their spot, the pre-sale for tickets will begin on Thursday (August 7) at 12pm local time via Live Nation. If you miss the pre-sale, don't worry; general ticket sales will start on Friday (August 8), at 12pm via Live Nation and Coca-Cola Arena's website. Who is Sb19? Formed in 2016 and officially debuting in 2018, SB19 shot to fame after their 2019 track 'Go Up' went viral. Since then, they've been considered pioneers of P-Pop, blending pop, hip-hop, and electronic influences with distinctly Filipino storytelling. In 2021, they made history as the first Filipino act nominated for a Billboard Music Award, and their track 'Bazinga' went on to dominate Billboard's Hot Trending Songs chart for seven consecutive weeks. From emotional ballads like 'Mapa' to adrenaline-pumping anthems like 'Gento', the group's versatility continues to win hearts across the globe. And at the heart of their success is their loyal and passionate fanbase — SB19 fans, known as A'TIN (pronounced 'eighteen'). The name is a play on the Filipino word atin, meaning 'ours,' symbolising the group's belief that their achievements belong to their fans just as much as to themselves. The 18 also represents how fans come before SB19, with 18 preceding 19 — a nod to the unbreakable bond between the group and their supporters.

SB19's Simula at Wakas kickoff: Pinoy artists, international content creators stand in awe of P-pop kings
Those who watched SB19's back-to-back concerts at the Philippine Arena this weekend witnessed history unfold as the group delivered a show for the ages to kick off their "Simula at Wakas" world tour. This became even more apparent on Day 2, when scores of Filipino personalities arrived to watch SB19 perform in the world's largest indoor arena. Celebrities attending concerts is nothing new, but this felt different: it was not just about showing up to support a fellow artist. It was a desire to be part of something big. Something that cannot be missed. Something to aspire for, to be proud of. History. Usually, celebrities show up like fans for international acts. That's how we know SB19 is right up there: if you can make and Gary Valenciano attend your concert, you are truly world-class. The Simula at Wakas kickoff was also the realization of the group's long-held dream—to see international fans travel to the Philippines to support homegrown talent. 1Z Entertainment, SB19's own company, organized a Global Fan Package to achieve this aim, and the response was overwhelming: packages sold out in minutes. At the concert, fans who came from the United States, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and many other countries were welcomed by the community of A'TIN who knows how to take care of their own. International YouTube reactors were treated like online friends you're meeting for the first time, but have known for a while. SB19's two-night show became a powerful celebration of fandom that transcended generations, backgrounds, languages, and borders.
