A'TINs, ready na ang "VISA" ng SB19!
From the Philippines to the global stage, P-Pop Kings SB19 are set to take P-Pop to two of the world’s biggest music festivals in 2026.
The five-piece boy group will perform at Lollapalooza Chicago in July, followed by Summer Sonic Tokyo in August — marking a global milestone for Filipino acts on the international music scene.
SB19’s upcoming appearances build on their growing global presence, including a recent showcase at D.U.N.K., performing an unreleased collaboration with J-Pop group BE:FIRST.
Lollapalooza Chicago
One of the United States’ most popular music festivals, Lollapalooza first began as a touring event in 1991, before permanently settling in Chicago in 2005. The music festival is renowned for blending a variety of genres into their lineups, including alternative rock, punk rock, heavy metal, pop, hip-hop, electronic, and soul.
In recent years, more Asian acts have graced the Lolla stage in its different locations: J-Hope, TXT, and Audrey Nuna in Lollapalooza 2022; NewJeans, Stray Kids, and beabadoobee in Lollapalooza 2023; SEVENTEEN in Lollapalooza Berlin 2024; and Fujii Kaze, TWICE, and Wave to Earth in Lollapalooza 2025.
SB19 is set to be the first Filipino act to grace the Lollapalooza stage in Chicago’s Grant Park from July 30 to Aug. 2, 2026, joining Charli X, Tate MacRae, Lorde, Olivia Dean, John Summit, Jennie, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The XX.
Summer Sonic Tokyo
The Summer Sonic Festival is Japan’s biggest music event, featuring major international acts alongside Japanese artists. The festival bridges rock, alternative, electronic, metal, hip-hop, and pop across a one-weekend simultaneous festival held in both Chiba and Osaka. The festival lineup also features revolving sets, where artists first perform in Chiba, the next day in Osaka, and vice versa.
Some of the festival’s past headlining artists include Green Day, Guns N’ Roses, Oasis, Linkin Park, Metallica, Arctic Monkeys, The Black Eyed Peas, Coldplay, Beyoncé, My Chemical Romance, and Kendrick Lamar.
Summer Sonic 2026 marks the festival’s 25th anniversary, and the lineup is not one to miss. Joining this year’s lineup are The Strokes, The Adults Are Talking, Reptilia, BUMP OF CHICKEN, Jennie, FKA twigs, keshi, Audrey Nuna, BABYMONSTER, L’Arc-en-Ciel, BABYMETAL, LE SSERAFIM, and Pentatonix.
SB19 is the first P-Pop group to perform on Japan’s Summer Sonic Festival stage and is the second P-Pop group to join the festival’s overall lineup, following fellow P-Pop group BGYO and their performance at Summer Sonic Bangkok 2025.
With SB19's upcoming appearances in Lollapalooza 2026 and Summer Sonic 2026, P-Pop is sure to be heard on a larger stage. Fellow P-pop artists BINI are also set to raise the Philippine flag on the Coachella 2026 stage this April.
