SB19 Lollapalooza debut 2026

Entities: Lollapalooza · SB19 · Sony Music Entertainment · Lollapalooza · Rizal Park (Luneta)

Overview

Filipino boy band SB19 staged a week‑long U.S. engagement ahead of their historic Lollapalooza appearance. The group opened with a pop‑up event in Los Angeles, performed at the Grammy Museum’s Global Spin Live program—where they discussed their journey and delivered live renditions of “Gento” and “Wakas”—and threw a ceremonial first pitch at a Chicago White Sox–New York Yankees game. On July 30 they became the first Philippine act to play the Lollapalooza main stage in Chicago, followed by an additional set on July 31 and a new single release.

The Philippine Department of Tourism organized a free viewing party at Manila’s Rizal Park, requiring online registration and QR‑code admission to manage attendance. SB19, newly appointed tourism ambassadors, expressed gratitude to fans (A’TIN) and emphasised the chance to showcase P‑pop and Filipino culture on a global stage.

The Lollapalooza livestream was made available on Disney+ and Hulu in participating territories. After their performance, the group paid tribute to late rap icon Francis Magalona and debuted the single “LAWLESS,” a genre‑bending track released the same day. A Senate resolution was filed to honor SB19 for the milestone, and the group announced upcoming appearances at Summer Sonic 2026 in Osaka and Tokyo.
