  • Spotify’s The Come Up unpacks SB19’s six-year rise from RADAR to Lollapalooza!

    Spotify’s The Come Up unpacks SB19’s six-year rise from RADAR to Lollapalooza!

    Following their debut at Lollapalooza as the first P-Pop group to perform at the festival, Spotify spotlights SB19 in The Come Up, a global series that traces the defining moments behind an artist’s rise,

    SB19’s streaming story is unique as they are known beyond a single breakout moment. Since “GENTO”, the group has maintained more than 1.4 million global monthly listener base on Spotify, built and sustained by fans across multiple releases, cross-market collaborations, and the power of playlisting.

    SB19 joined RADAR Philippines in March 2020 as one of the Filipino artists featured in the program’s global launch, with 141,489 monthly listeners on Spotify. Six years later, they performed at Lollapalooza with over 1.4 million monthly listeners. As SB19 moved through eras, Spotify’s playlists carried each chapter to new listeners.

    MAPA earned a spot on Tatak Pinoy. Gento broke through Viral Hits Philippines, and SB19’s monthly listeners nearly quadrupled in three months. When Spotify launched P-Pop On The Rise to give the genre a dedicated home, SB19 were the first artists on the cover. That reach also started crossing borders. Their JVKE collaboration brought a Tagalog verse into a global hit, while joint track Toyfriend with Japan’s BE:FIRST landed on the cover of Hot Hits Japan.

    “The more places SB19 showed up on Spotify, the more their audience grew and stuck around. Our playlists like Tatak Pinoy, P-Pop On The Rise, and Viral Hits Philippines are how millions of listeners discover what to listen to next. And what stands out with SB19 is that every era gave us a reason to champion them again. Each time, the audience got bigger and stayed longer. From playlists to podcasts to a first-of-its-kind Listening Party that drew fans from around the world, it’s exciting to see an artist and their fans growing together on Spotify,” said Chesca Tan, Lead Editor for Spotify Philippines.

    Fans and new listeners alike found ways to go deeper with SB19 on Spotify. A’TIN tuned into the group’s exclusive podcast Atin Atin Lang between releases, joined the Pagsibol-era A’TIN ‘To! jeepney art activation, and showed up 20,000-strong for SB19’s Listening Party— a first by a Filipino artist on Spotify. For newer listeners, Discover WeeklyRelease Radar, and DJ kept surfacing SB19 tracks to people who hadn’t searched for them directly.

    SB19 reflects, “When we debuted eight years ago, we never imagined performing at international festivals or hearing fans around the world sing our songs back to us. A’TIN has been with us through every chapter, and Spotify has helped more listeners discover our music. Every milestone reminds us how far we’ve come and motivates us to keep creating music that makes Filipinos proud.”

  • SB19 and Live Nation Philippines Celebrate a Year of Historic Milestones Culminating in Lollapalooza

    SB19 and Live Nation Philippines Celebrate a Year of Historic Milestones Culminating in Lollapalooza

    (July 31, 2026: Manila, Philippines) In the span of just one year, SB19 and Live Nation Philippines (LNPH) have redefined what is possible for Filipino artists on the global stage, marking a series of unprecedented achievements that continue to elevate Original Pilipino Music (OPM) worldwide.

    The partnership began with history in the making as SB19 became the first Filipino act to sell out the Philippine Arena for two consecutive nights, drawing one of the largest crowds ever by a local artist. More than a sold-out concert, it was a defining cultural moment that demonstrated the growing influence and commercial power of Filipino music.

    The momentum continued in April with “Wakas at Simula: Homecoming,” where over fans from different parts of the world gathered in the Philippines to celebrate SB19’s journey. The event became more than a homecoming—it was a global reunion, showcasing the international reach of the group’s passionate fanbase and reinforcing the Philippines as a destination for world-class live entertainment.

    Now, the partnership reaches another milestone as SB19 takes the stage at Lollapalooza, becoming the first Filipino group to perform at one of the world’s most prestigious music festivals. Serving as the Philippines’ Tourism Ambassadors, their historic appearance—fresh on the heels of their new single, Lawless, dropping on July 31—represents another significant step in bringing Filipino talent to a global audience and underscores the growing international recognition of OPM.

    For Rhiza Pascua, Managing Director of Live Nation Philippines, the journey has always been about building sustainable global opportunities for Filipino artists.

    From record-breaking concerts in their hometown to historic performances on the world’s biggest stages, SB19’s journey continues to inspire a new era for OPM, one where Filipino artists are no longer just participating in the global music scene, but helping shape and defining it.

    Puregold celebrates Filipino artistry and identity in OPM Con Generations, featuring SB19, Ben&Ben, Alamat, Flow G, and more

    Original Pinoy Music (OPM) has long been the language—across generations—of Filipino sentiments, memories, and identity. On July 11, Puregold’s profound connection to OPM takes center stage at the Araneta Coliseum as it mounts a concert that is bigger, louder, and prouder than ever.

    More than just a grand music production, Puregold’s OPM Con has evolved into the company’s signature retailtainment platform, reinforcing its role as a pioneer in merging retail, entertainment, and Pinoy fan culture in epic events. Through the years, Filipinos found their voices in music—in songs they grew up with, lyrics they quote online, anthems they scream during concerts, and fandoms that become families, built around artists they love.

    After Puregold’s two straight years of sold-out concert crowds and viral fan moments—and amid nationwide anticipation—the much-celebrated music event of the year returns. Dubbed “OPM Con Generations,” it is set to gather today’s biggest talents for a night that revels in the evolving sound of Filipino music, and the communities that have formed around it.

    To begin with, acclaimed folk-pop Ben&Ben and rising P-Pop group Alamat will charm the audience not only as performers, but also as two of Puregold’s newest brand ambassadors—a major moment for the devoted fan communities they proudly call “Liwanag” and “Magiliw.”

    This year’s lineup is the concert’s strongest yet, featuring the most sought-after names shaping the local music landscape, led by P-Pop kings SB19, rap heavyweight Flow G, crowd-favorite rapper Skusta Clee, well-loved rock band SunKissed Lola, and breakout all-female P-Pop acts G22, KAIA, and Xonara.

    From arena-shaking P-pop performances and rap anthems to emotional sing-alongs and viral chart-toppers, “OPM Con Generations” promises an unforgettable celebration of Filipino music across genres, generations, and fandoms.

    Since launching in 2024, OPM Con has quickly become one of the country’s most anticipated live music events, sparking nationwide fan frenzy through Puregold’s signature ticket redemption mechanics, where grocery shopping transforms into a full-scale fan experience.

    “Music has a unique way of bringing people together, no matter the generation or genre,” said Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Marketing Manager of Puregold Price Club Inc. “Through OPM Con Generations, Puregold hopes to create a space where loyal Puregold customers and fans can proudly gather, interact, and celebrate Philippine artistry and culture.”

    Ticket-selling for OPM Con Generations officially begins on June 12 across 12 participating Puregold stores nationwide: Taytay, Rizal; Biñan, Laguna; Anabu-Imus, Cavite; Valenzuela; QI Central, Quezon City; Cubao, Quezon City; Fairview Terraces, Quezon City; Tayuman, Tondo, Manila; Sucat, Parañaque; Kalentong, San Andres, Manila; Sto. Domingo Cainta Junction, Rizal; and San Pedro, Laguna.

    Aling Puring and Perks members may redeem free concert tickets through qualified single-receipt grocery purchases made at participating stores. Ticket tiers include VIP Standing for a minimum purchase of P8,500, Patron for P7,000, Lower Box for P5,500, Upper Box for P4,000, General Admission for P2,500, and Obstructed Upper Box and Obstructed General Admission for P1,500.

    For customers in the provinces, Puregold is also rolling out a limited Regional Fan Pass initiative, giving more fans outside Metro Manila the opportunity to sign up and avail of tickets while supplies last.

    What began as a bold vision to spotlight Filipino music has evolved into one of the country’s most anticipated annual music festivals. Now in its fifth year, Aurora continues to bring together some of the biggest names in OPM, creating a rare live music experience where multiple generations of Filipino artists share one massive stage.

    For its milestone edition, the festival is pulling out all the stops. Headlining the two-day celebration are SB19 and IV OF SPADES, two of the most influential acts shaping the modern Filipino music scene today. Their performances are expected to be among the biggest highlights of the festival weekend, drawing fans from across the country.

    But Aurora has never been just about the headliners. The festival has built its reputation on curating a powerhouse lineup of Filipino artists that audiences rarely get to see together in one place, turning every edition into a celebration of the richness and diversity of OPM.

    Over the past five years, Aurora Music Festival has steadily become an important platform for celebrating Filipino artistry. While international concerts often dominate the entertainment landscape, Aurora continues to prove that local talent can command the same level of excitement, energy, and massive crowd support.

    By gathering iconic performers, chart-topping bands, and beloved singer-songwriters in one event, the festival has helped amplify the appreciation for Original Pilipino Music and highlight its continued evolution across genres.

    The upcoming Clark edition features an impressive mix of legendary acts, contemporary chart-toppers, and fan-favorite performers.

Joining them is IV OF SPADES, the genre-bending band whose distinctive sound and electrifying stage presence continue to captivate audiences, especially following their highly anticipated comeback concerts at the Mall of Asia Arena late last year.

    Also part of the lineup is Sarah Geronimo, the one and only Popstar Royalty, whose decades-long career has produced some of the most beloved hits in modern OPM.

    Fans can also look forward to performances from award-winning folk-pop collective Ben&Ben, known for their emotionally resonant and relatable songs and sweeping musical arrangements, and alternative rock favorites December Avenue, whose anthemic tracks have become staples in “hugot” playlists.

    Adding another dimension to the festival lineup is acclaimed singer-songwriter Armi Millare, whose distinctive artistry and lyrical depth have long made her one of the most respected musicians in the local music scene.

    The celebration continues with appearances from beloved OPM acts that have shaped Filipino pop culture across generations. Among them are the iconic SexBomb Girls, whose recent reunion concerts reignited massive nostalgia among fans, as well as legendary rock bands Parokya Ni Edgar and Kamikazee, both known for their high-energy live performances that consistently ignite festival crowds.

    Completing the lineup is singer-songwriter Kitchie Nadal, whose timeless anthems continue to resonate with listeners years after their release, making every performance an unforgettable sing-along moment.

    Reaching its fifth year is a major milestone for the festival, and Aurora is marking the occasion with a lineup and experience designed to be its biggest yet.

    From the moment the sun sets over Clark Global City to the final encore of the night, fans can expect a weekend filled with unforgettable performances, vibrant festival energy, and the shared excitement of celebrating Filipino music together.

  • Puregold OPMCON 2025 to take over Philippine Arena with today’s brightest music stars

    Puregold OPMCON 2025 to take over Philippine Arena with today’s brightest music stars

    Get ready to immerse yourself in the heart of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) as Puregold OPMCON 2025 takes center stage on July 5, 2025, at the iconic Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan. This isn’t just a concert—it’s a celebration of Filipino talent, culture, and the unbreakable spirit of music that unites us all. With a star-studded lineup and Puregold’s signature Panalo vibe, this event promises to be a landmark moment for OPM fans like you.

    Puregold will soon make music history with OPMCON 2025, a mega-concert that promises to be the loudest and proudest celebration of Filipino music this year.

    Puregold OPMCON 2025 is part of the wildly successful Nasa Atin Ang Panalo Campaign, and will bring together a powerhouse lineup of Filipino artists who have long been part of the Puregold family–SB19, BINI, Sunkissed Lola, and Flow G–along with new collaborators G22, Skusta Clee, and KAIA.

    An epic night of music, talent, and Pinoy pride, Puregold OPMCON 2025 is a highpoint of Nasa Atin Ang Panalo campaign’s second year as it continues to champion Original Pinoy Music.

    Nasa Atin Ang Panalo features an all-new roster of the most talked-about names in the Philippine music scene—G22, Skusta Clee, and KAIA—who will bring their own sound, grit, and panalo stories to the stage.

    G22, dubbed as P-POP’s alpha females, continues to stun audiences with their powerhouse vocals, intensity, and unstoppable energy. Since debuting in 2022, members AJ, Alfea, and Jaz have serially released a slew of hits such as “Bang,” “Boomerang,” “Limitless”—and their latest, “Pa-Pa-Pa-Palaban.”

    G22’s music video collaboration with Puregold, “Pagpili,” dropped on April 9 and quickly racked up over 3 million views in just two weeks. The song’s message emboldens everyone to choose with confidence and say it loud.

    Meanwhile, Skusta Clee, one of the most influential names in Filipino hip-hop today, dropped a powerful track titled “Sari-Saring Kwento” on May 8, an explosive collaboration with fellow rap phenom Flow G, featuring sharp bars, infectious beats, and a message that cuts deep for every Pinoy listener.

    Also joining the movement is KAIA, the five-member P-POP girl group known for bold visuals and empowering anthems. Members Angela, Charice, Alexa, Sophia, and Charlotte are set to release their “Kaya Mo” music video on June 12—perfectly timed for Independence Day to celebrate Filipina pride, independence, and strength.

    “Nasa Atin Ang Panalo has evolved into something more purposeful than a campaign. It’s now a crusade—one that celebrates the strength, dreams, and talents of Filipinos,” Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Marketing Manager of Puregold, shares. “Through this platform, we hope to showcase our homegrown artists and inspire Puregold members and customers as they relish original panalo music on a world-class stage.”

    First ticket-selling for Puregold OPMCON 2025 happens on May 16–17 at the Tindahan ni Aling Puring Sari-Sari Store Convention at the World Trade Center, Pasay.

    Ticket mechanics will be announced via Puregold’s social media pages.

    SB19’s Josh Cullen embraces emotional maturity and healing in R&B track “Sumaya”

    After announcing his participation at this year’s Round Festival in South Korea, Josh Cullen continues his winning streak with the release of his new single, “Sumaya” under Sony Music Entertainment.

    SEE ALSO: SB19’s Josh Cullen and Al James join forces in “Yoko Na”

    Josh Cullen

    Delivering a quiet rumination on heartbreak and acceptance, “Sumaya” comfortably repackages R&B, trap, pop, and bedroom hip-hop with minimalism that reveals rewarding folds and layers as it progresses. It’s a vulnerable track that expresses the ugly truths of a relationship’s aftermath but is written from a place of genuine care for the other person’s freedom and happiness.

    Josh shares, “Sumaya is about the heart-wrenching journey of accepting that it’s time to let go of someone and the memories you’ve shared. It’s a song that delves into the pain and sadness of moving on while still cherishing the good times you had together.”

    According to SB19’s lead rapper and vocalist, the lyrics tackle the bittersweet feeling of parting ways and looking back at a kind of love that once felt life-affirming and real. With the line, “kapag naihatid ka, di na kita susunduin,” Josh demonstrates, with nuance and skill, that he is capable of making songs that hit home.

    “The line really captures that final, painful goodbye,” he adds, crediting his good friend Kael Guerrero for helping him write the track. “We drew inspiration from our own life experiences and memories, which makes this song very personal and emotional for both of us.”

    In terms of production, Josh shares that he and his co-producer, Kael, were very careful in coming up with the initial groundwork to capture the emotional depth and bittersweet nature of “Sumaya.” He even added some final tweaks to make sure everything felt right, balancing form and intricacies with the genuine intent of his songwriting style. Then, the talented team at Tribute Collective stepped in to re-arrange it, adding their unique touch.

    “Kael and Tribute are real gems in this industry, and their combined efforts helped achieve a sound that is haunting and melancholic, perfectly matching the theme of letting go and the sorrow that comes with it,” Josh Cullen explains.

    The track’s release is accompanied by a music video featuring Josh Cullen as its lead star. The visuals depict the P-Pop superstar waking up from the relics of the past, allowing himself to journey back to a time when life was brimming with love and rosy optimism, but finally realizes that everything is just an illusion that he has to deal with.

    Josh shares, “In the music video for Sumaya, I wake up in a house filled with the most important memories of my life, memories of someone I love deeply. As I touch these objects, they start to disintegrate, and I realize it’s because of me. As I continue, I find myself shifting between reality and the void, struggling to escape the overwhelming chaos and emotions happening all at once. I don’t ever want to forget these memories, yet I know I have to accept and release what I can’t control.”

    The music video was directed by Josh Cullen and Jonathan Tal Placido.

    The Yoko Na act adds, “Big shout out to Miko del Rosario as well. He stuck with me during those late-night editing sessions. Despite the tight schedule and having no sleep at all, it wasn’t as stressful as I imagined. We were having fun, and their passion and dedication made the whole experience incredibly rewarding.”

    Josh Cullen’s “Sumaya” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide. Watch the music video on Josh Cullen’s YouTube channel.

    The thanksgiving event, which will feature acts by phenomenal Filipino music talents SB19, BINI, and Flow G, and a special performance by SunKissed Lola, celebrates Puregold’s remarkable milestone of reaching 500 stores on its 25th year. Through “Nasa Atin ang Panalo,” Puregold expresses its gratitude to its loyal customers, dedicated employees, and supportive partners who have long played a role in the company’s very own panalo story.

    As can be gleaned from Puregold’s recent announcement on its social media pages, the star-studded “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” is set to be an unforgettable night of music, inspiration, and pure entertainment. This was affirmed by Puregold Price Club Inc. President Vincent Co who relates that from the get-go, they envisioned “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” to be more than just a concert.

    “We want it to be a heartfelt tribute to Filipino stories of grit, courage, change, and success—panalo values that our concert artists possess and hope to inspire among their fellow Filipinos,” Co says. “And we are excitedly presenting these top musicians not only to showcase their talent and spotlight local music, but to highlight the stories of SB19, BINI, Flow G, and SunKissed Lola as they pursue their dreams.”

    Puregold shares why they have chosen to collaborate with these artists:

    P-Pop idols SB19 weathered a roller-coaster journey, staying resilient to sustain their rise in the music industry.

    BINI, the nation’s girl group, sings about youthful romance, fun, and empowerment. The group continually evolves to tell its stories in the most profound ways.

    Flow G, now one of the icons in Philippine rap, has hurdled numerous challenges but has remained steadfast in his pursuit of hip-hop, relentlessly moving forward toward his goals.

    Well-loved band SunKissed Lola, united by their passion for creating music, has transformed their dreams into reality, achieving success through their unwavering love for their craft.

    “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” promises to bring joy to A’Tins, Blooms, Dolores, and fans of Flow G. Surprise guests are also lined up to boost concert-goers’ thrill and excitement.

    Loyal Puregold customers can also look forward to Tita and Ninang Zones, where featured products and brands will offer a number of fun activities.

    Fans and followers can also check out the venue’s VIP Section where one can get the best view in the house; coliseum group photos that will capture moments with fellow fans celebrating the night together; and exclusive merchandise giveaways that will keep memories alive long after the event.

    Additionally, as Puregold has teased the release of original music in partnership with these top artists, fans have more drops to look forward to as well.

    Puregold is mounting the concert in collaboration with Wish 107.5, a partnership that has been instrumental—since 2021—in discovering and highlighting OPM talents. This partnership reflects a shared commitment to promote and nurture local music artists through platforms that enable them to reach wider audiences.

    As “Nasa Atin ang Panalo” draws near, Puregold encourages OPM enthusiasts, music lovers, and Puregold customers to witness the convergence of talent, passion, and pure Filipino pride in the musical event. Ticket mechanics will be announced soon on Puregold’s official channels.

    SB19 and Apl.de.Ap take Filipino music to greater heights with club anthem “Ready”

    The ecstatic dance-pop track serves as SB19’s follow-up to their recently released bop “Moonlight,” featuring Ian Asher and Terry Zhong!

    The two powerhouse icons take Filipino music artistry to the next level with the release of “Ready,” a shiny club number that captures the sound of summer effortlessly regardless of the season.

    Going extremely hard with bombastic beats and exciting sonic builds, the track finds SB19 and Apl.de.Ap concocting a confident bop with global appeal and strong crossover potential. Keith Harris, a longtime collaborator of the Black Eyed Peas, produced the song. According to Apl.de.Ap, Harris did an amazing job blending pop music influences with electronic music elements, dance music, and Afrobeats.

    The resident BEP rapper also penned “Ready” with Jean-Baptiste, Vince Nantes, and Denzel. SB19’s very own Pablo and Josue (Radkidz), on the other hand, contributed to the production of the track, adding final touches and subtle sonic elements. With party-starting vocals gliding atop carefully structured production, “Ready” highlights the individual strengths of both SB19 and Apl.de.Ap while nurturing their chemistry with pure, instinctive joy.

    “We never got the chance to record together in a single booth, but Apl.de.Ap was such a great guy to work with,” shares SB19’s Justin. “It’s an honor to collaborate with a global superstar of his caliber. We’ve learned so much from his generosity and creative feedback.”

    SB19’s Stell was also ecstatic about sharing how game-changing the entire experience was. “It was something new for the group. We appreciate the chance to delve into new genres and production styles that come with unfamiliar territory. But with Apl.de.Ap at the helm of the creative process, we’re just blessed to take on this assignment. It’s not every day that you get to work with an artist you look up to.”

    SB19 and Apl.de.Ap’s “Ready” is out now on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment.
