"Kung 'di mo raw siya gusto; tumabi ka d'yan," FIFA wrote in the caption. SB19 member Ken saw the video and commented, "FIFAAAAAAAAAAAAA" with different emojis. Pablo also reposted the video. "Dungka!" is an upbeat rave track from SB19's much-awaited EP "Simula at Wakas." The album also includes the comeback single, "DAM." Over the weekend, the P-Pop Kings kicked off their Simula at Wakas World Tour with a two-night concert at the Philippine Arena.

The Dream Setlist for SB19's Simula at Wakas World Tour
The last time SB19 headed out on an international trek was for the Pagtatag! World Tour in 2023, where the Filipino-pop group played 18 shows throughout four countries across the Philippines, United States, Canada, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates. Following the release of the group's Simula at Wakas EP, which saw lead single 'DAM' score them their first No. 1 on a U.S. Billboard chart earlier this year, the quintet is gearing up for an even bigger worldwide tour. More from Billboard Metro Boomin Calls Making WWE Entrance Theme Music 'A Lifelong Goal of Mine' Shakira Concert at Boston's Fenway Park Canceled Hours Before Showtime Latto Says Her 'Body Count' Lyrics Aren't 'That Deep': Just 'Don't Let Everybody Put Their Hand in That Cookie Jar, Period' As Billboard exclusively revealed in February, SB19 set 19 dates on the Simula at Wakas World Tour, spanning cities in the Philippines, Taiwan, the U.S., Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UAE this year. In addition to playing some of the biggest venues of the group's career, SB19 teased more cities and shows to be announced soon, with visits to Australia, Japan, and Hong Kong on the horizon. Pablo, Josh, Ken, Stell and Justin previously told Billboard that their fans, known as A'TIN, should 'stay tuned for new genres and performances, plus fresh arrangements of our older tracks,' adding how that 'from our last tour they have seen more of our individuality but this time, we will be coming stronger.' A stronger, bigger tour naturally requires a stronger, bigger setlist. So, before the group plays the first dates across Asia this spring, and returns to the U.S. in July, here is Billboard's dream setlist for the upcoming Simula at Wakas World Tour, which will hopefully include most, if not all, of these global opening number is the song that sets the tone for your whole tour and 'DAM' is the clear choice for several reasons. Not only is it the lead single off SB19's recently released Simula at Wakas EP, but the song scored the group their first No. 1 on a U.S. Billboard song sales chart following its debut atop the World Digital Song Sales chart in March. But 'DAM' didn't only resonate in the U.S., but hit No. 4 on the recently launched Billboard Philippines Hot 100, and bowed on charts in the U.K., New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and more. What better song to kick off your new worldwide tour than your biggest global hit yet? Naturally, we want to hear the extended version of the song because its military-style march opening feels like a truly epic way to kick off the show. Continuing the high energy set by 'DAM,' the next move would be to jump right into another new SB19 banger with '8onBall.' Not only will it keep the audience hyped, but also express the group's greater global ambitions amid their largest world tour yet. As declared by Justin and Josh in the song's intro: 'Wait a second, 'cause we're going to the top.' To connect to the theme of SB19's worldwide ambitions while keeping the audience excited, 'Shooting for the Stars' is our next pick. The August Rigo–penned lyrics will ring true to the tone of the concert ('I've been shooting for the stars, aimin' high/ The universe is ours, yours and mine/ Hop up on this rocket, nothing's gonna stop it, no') while the addictive post-chorus hook is begging for an entire venue to singalong ('High! Oh yeah!/ Ready, aim, fire, shoot! Oh, yeah!'). After three songs of what will surely be intense choreography, we'll give the guys a break by slowing things down with the other song August Rigo wrote for them, 2023's 'I Want You' from their Pagtatag! album, with the mid-tempo R&B jam allowing the guys a moment to catch their breath, greet the audience and focus on the passionate delivery and honeyed harmonies. The guys can bring out the mic stands or stools to sit to enhance the song's intimate, sultry vibe. Time to turn the volume back up. The latest single off SB19's Simula at Wakas EP — which made its debut on World Digital Song Sales earlier this month following its music video release — would be a natural pick here. After 'I Want You,' we could imagine the guys ducking out for an outfit change at this point to give them some additional breathing room and signify the show's next chapter of intensity. We'd love to see looks reminiscent of the fun and colorful looks the guys wore in the video. Since the group's 2023 Pagtatag! World Tour, the group has been delivering some of the best collaborations of their careers. 'KALAKAL' with Filipino hip-hop icon Gloc 9 feels like a must-include for this tour, especially since the critically acclaimed veteran made a special appearance at the group's previous world tour finale in early 2024. Stell will set a powerful tone with his opening lines, 'You can't stop this, we gonna get it /Who can? None, 'cause we born to take it,' and we'd love to see if either of SB19's top rappers Pablo or Josh might want to attempt to rap Gloc 9's lines, or even write new verses whenever Gloc isn't on hand to perform with them. As promised by Josh in SB19's exclusive interview with Billboard, the group will be delivering new versions of their past material, and we'd love to hear a fresh interpretation of the early SB19 single 'Alab (Burning).' While the bright electro-pop track might not feel mature enough for where the group stands today (and didn't make the cut for the Pagtatag! World Tour), taking the song's theme of 'Burning' and giving it a rock, hip-hop or EDM makeover would surely add some edge, while also serving as a nostalgic treat for those A'TIN who have been with the guys since the beginning. Some felt the Pagtatag! World Tour's setlist was too front-loaded with too many ballads. But no matter what you thought about the song order, the gorgeous dedication to parents, 'Mapa,' was a standout moment, with the entire venue singing along to the soulful singalong hook. We'll gladly take an extended live version of 'Mapa' here to ensure everyone gets their ballad fix. To truly show how much the group has grown, this feels like a perfect moment to introduce some solo stages. For an easy sonic transition from the fuzzy feelings set by 'Mapa,' we'd love SB19 leader Pablo's performance to begin with a snippet of his stunning, slow-burning ballad 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf.' While the song (and its accompanying video) are especially emotional, letting Pablo give a taste of the track and the lingering wolf-like 'woo, ooh' hook before the regal trumps of his empowering single 'Edsa' take over. Pablo can showcase his pop sensibilities on the bright track for a moment before transitioning into the much darker rap cut 'Batata,' which lays out his ambitions over zipping, pounding production. Pablo had a busy 2024, dropping 'Edsa' in May before unleashing both his ALON and LAON albums within a week of each other in September, so it's the perfect time to show his breadth of work. While we're not entirely sure how to make the jump from the stark 'Boy Who Cried Wolf' to cheery 'Edsa' and then the intensity of 'Butata,' if anyone could figure it out, it's SB19's genius producer Pablo. Continuing with a heavier theme set from Pablo's 'La Luna,' we'd love to see Ken — a.k.a. Felip — hit the stage next to deliver a song like 2024's 'Fake Faces.' The alt-rock rager can be a moment of release for the audience to really let go and feel ready to truly enjoy the rest of the night without worrying about what anyone might off the rock vibes in 'Fake Faces,' Josh Cullen gets his rock-star moment with a performance of his popular single '1999' from his Lost & Found album. It's another moment for fans to rock out with the guys. We might be crazy, but we could even imagine Josh crowd-surfing while belting out the track. Too much? We'd imagine not for Josh. After the members get some sufficient rest after the three solo stages, it feels right to bring out Simula at Wakas' intense ballad 'Time.' The track features an impressive vocal performance with a few starts and stops in the arrangement, which will require the guys to be fully prepared to tackle the all-English cut. As part of SB19's continuing international crossover, the band linked up with JVKE for a special remix of his Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 hit 'Golden Hour.' While JVKE raced up the charts around the world with 'Golden Hour' in 2023 (reaching its No. 13 peak on the Billboard Global 200 in February), SB19's remix helped extend the song's impact and longevity, with an SB19-only performance being a particular treat for international audiences. Maybe JVKE could even pop by for a special appearance at one of the stops. It's time to kick back up the energy with a familiar, fan-favorite single like 'What?' Upon its release in 2021, the team that produced the track with Pablo shared how the song was particularly challenging to craft due to the multiple tempo changes. A new version that imagines the song slightly more straightforward allows fans to enjoy while taking it easier on SB19, who are, at this point, only about halfway through the concert. Despite never being released as a single, 'Mana' remains one of SB19's most-streamed tracks on Spotify with the trap-y throbber becoming one of the group's go-to live tracks. 'Bazinga' is our pick to follow, keeping the energy from 'Mana' alive and connecting as yet another fire track from the Pagsibol EP, the final song from the 2021 record in this concert. SB19 have shared that they considered releasing 'CRIMZONE' as the lead single off PAGTATAG! (though ultimately going with 'Gento'), but another fan-favorite cut that has surpassed the Spotify streams of several of the group's singles, it would truly be a crime not to include 'CRIMZONE' and is one last big up-tempo before — dream setlist spoiler! — another set of solo stages. Justin delivered a lovely cover of One Direction's 'Little Things' during the Pagtatag! World Tour, but now SB19's youngest member gets a chance to show how much he's grown since the last tour by releasing his own solo music and kicking off his acting career. We'd love to hear a medley of his easy-listening rock-pop tracks 'Surreal' and 'Kaibigan' during his solo moment — perhaps cutting the first 30 seconds of the latter since it may be challenging to get a similar reverb and jumping straight into the joyous pre-chorus before encouraging the audience to clap along on the singalong hook. Stell took the audience's breath away with his powerhouse performance of 'Defying Gravity' (performing all parts from the Wicked epic) every night on the Pagtatag! World Tour. We're looking for him to stun us once again by recreating the performance showcased in his funky 2024 single 'Room' — including, most importantly, the mesmerizingly cool chair dance he pulls off during the bridge. Take a look below in case you haven't already. Another crossover moment from SB19's past year includes their featuring on a single from the Black Eyed Peas Philippines-born member who has represented his heritage by rapping in Tagalog in BEP tracks like 'Bebop' and 'The Apl Song.' This bumping dance track is a perfect song to transition back to the group music after Justin and Stell take the stage. Lyrics like 'Get ready for the night, you ready?/ I've been waiting for this night for so long' will hit with slightly harder impact when fans realize the concert is inevitably coming to a close soon after months of anticipation, but will inevitably snap into dance mode once the beat hits on the second chorus. In a full display of how far SB19 has come in their five years together, we'd love to hear their early EDM single 'Go Up' mashed up with 'Moonlight,' their latest DJ collaboration with U.S.-based producers Ian Asher and Terry Zhong. Both songs feature euphoric, feel-good builds, and it feels like a special and clever way to represent artistic growth while giving newer A'TIN more reasons to revisit older material. There's one more new song left to perform from Simula at Wakas with 'Quit' acting as the EP's centerpiece rock anthem. At four minutes and forty-three seconds, it's by far the longest song on the record, and the layers of harmonies on the bridge are perfect for the members to lead an epic singalong with the audience as they wave goodbye to the audience… …but that goodbye will be short-lived because it's encore time! SB19 used 'What?' as their final encore song on the Pagtatag! World Tour, bringing back the beloved breakout single as an official, satisfying closer for the show. We want to recreate the wonderful energy of that moment again, but this time with Pagtatag's lead single, 'Gento,' which helped the group break out even bigger and will reignite the crowd once they hear its opening everything needs to be bigger on this tour, SB19 won't just have one encore song but two! Ending with the band's feel-good funk-pop single, 'WYAT (Where You At),' feels appropriate, as the lyrics discuss searching for one's other half to complete them. Pablo, Ken, Josh, Stell, and Justin can dedicate the song to fans as a final message to officially wrap up their biggest show to date.

SB19 Interview On Simula At Wakas And Filipino Pride
You've heard of K-pop, but what about P-pop? P-pop stands for Pinoy pop music, and unlike it's Korean counterpart, P-Pop is still developing. Thankfully, we have groups like SB19 that have paved the way for Southeast Asian artists to enter the music scene and reach international success, which was previously unheard of. SB19 is a five-member Filipino boy band that debuted back in 2018 and has been making waves in the music industry ever since. The quintet — composed of Josh, Pablo, Stell, Ken, and Justin — got their big break with their 2019 release "Go Up," which went viral on social media and expanded their reach to a previously untapped audience. They've gained international recognition and have broken barriers throughout their career. Notably, they were the first Filipino act to be nominated for a Billboard Music Award in 2021, and their 2023 PAGTATAG! World Tour included sold-out shows across the Philippines, United States, and Canada. BuzzFeed sat down with the boys to chat about their latest music, disrupting the music industry, and what's to come. Congratulations on your latest release, 'DUNGKA'! What is the main concept and meaning behind this song? You also released 'DAM' not too long ago — can you share more about the track and its significance? Pablo: "DAM" is the title track of our EP, Simula at Wakas. Basically, when we were making the EP, we had this question in our minds of 'how are we going to be able to exceed what we've done before?' And so we tried to answer all of that in the track "DAM." What made our journey really interesting is that we've faced a lot of tragedies and challenges, but we were able to overcome all of it. And through the years, we've accepted that there will be lots of challenges and sacrifices in order to achieve greatness. We try to incorporate all of that in our music and try to [keep] a diary, explain in our music what we have been through during our seven years within the industry. And so talking about obstacles and hardships, you definitely have come a long way since your debut. How have you grown as a group and individually? Talking about raising the bar, you've made big waves in the music industry since your debut, pushing P-pop into global recognition through your music. Essentially, you've disrupted the industry by pushing Filipino talent into the global scene. So, how do you guys feel about the fact that you've reached such heights? And on the note of feeling prideful and grateful of your success, as a Filipino myself, I know just how proud Filipinos are and how excited they are to showcase how amazing the Philippines is. And so, can you share more about your pride in being Filipino, and how that pride is reflected within your music? Southeast Asians are often met with prejudice, both in the music industry and in society. How have you been affected by these prejudices, and how have you overcome them? What inspired you to pursue music? Josh: It's very different for each of the members. Maybe some of them really love music from the get-go, and some of us love music, but at the same time, want to inspire people. I didn't really know how to do it, but then I met these talented guys, and so I took the opportunity. And I really can't speak for everyone, but I think ultimately, we really want to inspire people, share our love, and showcase the talent of Filipinos and put it in the global scene. We take pride in everything that we For me, if I'm going to be honest with you, at first I started doing this because I think I have a talent in singing and performing. But as people got to know us, it felt like there's something more to what I was doing — that there is a purpose. It felt like I was not just singing for myself, but for the people who are being affected by my Personally, when I was a kid, my dream was to become an actor, but I also enjoyed performing back then in school activities. It just happened that I got this opportunity to perform, and I was able to meet these guys and loved working with them, and that was what made me pursue music. It's because of Personally, I grew up in a church, and I've been exposed to music ever since I was a child. And that's why I thought that I could do it. It's not because I was like, full of myself or overconfident, but I just believed in myself that I could do it. And fortunately, I'm here So, growing up in a very typical Filipino family, I was extremely exposed [to] music because my family used to do the usual karaoke in the house. My parents usually set up the microphones and the DVD player, and then tried to perform and sing the whole day. When they saw me dancing on the side, they always pushed me to sing with them. But to be honest, I was into dancing more than singing. When I was in high school and college, my friends kept on saying that I need to go to an audition in Korea or somewhere here in the Philippines because they saw the potential in me. But I was focused on my studies [at] that time. And finally, there came a time where I really needed to step up and [do] what I can to earn money to help my family. And of course, with the influence of other artists that I look up to, that's the time I decided to pursue music. What are your goals for your music career? How have you stayed motivated? SB19 is a trailblazer in P-pop reaching international recognition. What do you think is next for P-pop? Pablo: Personally, from what I'm seeing right now, P-pop is growing really quickly. Doors are opening for everyone to have this platform and showcase their talents here in the Philippines and slowly in the global scene. I think in the next coming years, we will be exporting shows like P-pop conventions in other countries —promoting not just music, but also the food, TV shows, and whatnot — and creating this wave of Filipino culture being celebrated all over the world. That's what I'm For sure. We're here to build and support it. We're not here to gatekeep anything, and we're here to really give our all and share the things that we learn to everyone who's still dreaming to be part of P-pop. We believe that in the near future, it's going to get maybe 100 times larger than what it has become right now, and it's going to multiply with those compounded efforts among all of these groups and shared dreams. I personally believe that maybe we're one of the instruments to really give a hand [to] other people's dreams in the future that would like to try this journey. Talking about this wave of Filipino talent that you are supporting — do you have any Filipino artists you'd like to shout out? What Filipino dishes do you think are S-tier? Share a message to your fans! Stell: To our fans, to our beloved A'TIN, we are very, very thankful and forever grateful to all the support and love that we've been receiving from you guys. We can't ask for more because you guys are enough for us, and we can't imagine our career, our lives, without you guys supporting us. It's been almost seven years, but nothing has changed. It's still you guys, and we are forever growing, and we hope that until the end, we stay forever and stay true to each other. We are hoping to see you guys in our future shows, in our concerts, and we're very excited to share our new music in this new era. So please be ready and be happy, because we're very excited to see you, and always remember that SB19 loves you. Thank you. Finally, what does music mean to you? Thanks for sitting down with us SB19!

SB19's Pablo, Justin support Coach Jay's stint as judge in 'Stars on the Floor'
SB19 members Pablo and Justin are nothing but supportive of their dance coach, Jay Joseph Roncesvalles, who will serve as one of the judges of "Stars on the Floor." As seen in Lhar Santiago's report in "24 Oras," Monday, Pablo and Justin said that they are happy that their Kuya Jay will be able to share the lessons he has taught to them. "Actually, hindi lang ngayon pag-choreograph eh kasi more than that 'yung binibigay ni Kuya Jay. Kumbaga, binibigay niya kami ng passion, pinapalakas niya 'yung loob namin whenever we perform," Justin said. Meanwhile, Pablo, who also served as a coach himself in "The Voice Kids Philippines," has some advice for Coach Jay. "Marami siyang makukulit na tinuturuan. W3, SB19. Alam mong sincere 'yung sinasabi niya, alam mong makakatulong sa'yo. So, 'yun lang be you. Tapos lalabas na 'yun. Mas marami kang matutulungan lalo na dito sa 'Stars on the Floor,'" he said. Coach Jay is the choreographer behind SB19's hit songs "GENTO," "DAM," and "DUNGKA." According to him, he's looking forward to the upcoming competition, which will feature dance collaborations in duos, pairing showbiz celebrities with social media personalities. "Alam ko din na lagi akong sumasayaw and then ngayon parang baka mayroon pang may natatago pa kung pwedeng gawin na baka ibang tao 'yung mga pagpalabas," he said. Coach Jay said he was surprised when he received the offer on being a judge of the dance show. "Parang napatanong din ako sa sarili ko. It's about time siguro na sa lahat ng experience ko ma-share ko din, magamit ko din and then baka ito na din 'yung perfect time na binigay sa akin para alam mo 'yung maging judge sa TV," he said. Aside from Coach Jay, Kapuso Primetime Queen Marian Rivera and Pokwang will also serve as the judges of "Stars in the Floor." The show will be hosted by Alden Richards. "Stars on the Floor" will begin airing on GMA Network on June 28. —Jade Veronique Yap/MGP, GMA Integrated News
