Filipino pop sensation SB19 is heading to Dubai for a special one-night performance at Coca-Cola Arena on Saturday, 11 October 2025. The concert marks the UAE stop on their Simula at Wakas world tour, which has already drawn thousands across Asia, North America, and Tokyo.
With bold performances and genre-blending music, SB19 has propelled P-pop onto the global stage.
For Dubai’s music fans—especially the city’s thriving Filipino community—this is shaping up to be one of the biggest live events of the year.
SB19: The rise of a P-pop powerhouse
Comprising Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, SB19 first broke onto the scene in 2018 and quickly found success through hits like Go Up and Tilaluha. Their international recognition soared after the single Bazinga dominated Billboard’s Hot Trending Songs chart for seven straight weeks in 2021.
They blend pop, hip-hop, and electronic music with lyrics rooted in Filipino identity and emotion, creating a unique sound and performance style that resonates with their global fanbase, A’TIN.
SB19’s live shows offer more than just music—they’re a visual and emotional experience. From high-octane dance sequences to stripped-back ballads, the band seamlessly transitions between different musical moods while keeping their cultural roots front and centre.
The Simula at Wakas tour showcases new tracks alongside the group’s most loved songs, packaged into a high-energy stage production with immersive visuals and audio. Dubai concertgoers can expect a dynamic setlist, heartfelt messages, and an atmosphere charged with fandom energy.
The performance is set to include:
- A curated setlist combining chart-toppers and fan favourites
- Powerful solo and group dance routines
- A live band accompanying select songs
- Creative visuals and lighting design unique to the world tour

Dubai’s growing love for P-pop
The UAE has seen a surge in support for Philippine pop acts, with SB19’s arrival following the success of BINI’s sold-out performance at Coca-Cola Arena earlier this year. It’s part of a growing wave of Filipino artists finding a strong audience in the region, thanks to Dubai’s multicultural and musically diverse environment.
Concerts like these also bring together the community, offering a space to celebrate Filipino heritage, language and creativity through the global language of music.
