SB19 Performs 10-Track Set in Historic Lollapalooza Debut
The P-pop superstars also delivered the first-ever live performance of "Lawless."
SB19 has made history as the first-ever Filipino act to take the stage at Lollapalooza. With a 10-track set, the Kings of P-pop brought OPM to one of the world’s biggest music festivals.
The five-member powerhouse kicked off their explosive performance at the Allianz stage with two of their massive hits, DAM and Gento. Cheers erupted across Grant Park, with many fans singing along while waving Philippine flags.
Pausing to introduce themselves, the group proudly declared: “We are SB19 from the Philippines!”
The quintet then delivered the live debut of their newest single, Lawless, followed by another crowd-favorite track, Emoji.
Emotions ran high when SB19 sang MAPA and Wakas, with members like Josh visibly moved while international A’TIN shared the “surreal” and heartfelt moment with the group.
Before shifting back into high gear, the group also performed a snippet of their take on classic OPM hit, Mga Kababayan—originally sung by the late Francis Magalona—which will be part of the official soundtrack of DreamWorks’ upcoming animated film, Forgotten Island.
SB19 kept up the momentum with VISA and DUNGKA! — the latter featuring a surprise appearance from the Chicago Bulls’ official mascot, Benny the Bull. The P-pop Kings closed their historic stage with Crimzone.
SB19’s debut at Lollapalooza comes on the heels of their landmark appearances at the Grammy Museum and a Major League Baseball (MLB) showdown. They are set to continue their global run with more groundbreaking stages, including the Summer Sonic Festival in Japan this August, and the inaugural KPOPWORLD Festival & Worldwide Dance Competition in October.
