Pablo of SB19 is set to embark on his first-ever solo concert, ‘the Middle,’ on July 17, 2026, at the Crossroad Center, Quezon City.
Presented by 1Z Entertainment, the show is marketed as a prelude event that sets up something even bigger.
The SB19 leader opened up about the concept and story behind the show, saying, “Napaka-komplikadong konsepto nito para sakin. Para akong nasa push-and-pull relationship. Ironic kasi middle child ako, pero most of my life, I’ve been trying to avoid taking that space. Kahit ngayon na solo ako, part of me still feels like I shouldn’t grab too much attention. Parang minsan, hindi ko alam kung deserve ko ba talaga.”
(This is a really complicated concept for me. It feels like I’m in a push-and-pull relationship with it. It’s ironic because I’m a middle child, yet for most of my life, I’ve tried to avoid taking up that space. Even now, going solo, part of me still feels like I shouldn’t grab too much attention. Sometimes, it’s as if I don’t know if I truly deserve it.)
“But at the same time, alam ko rin na kailangan kong harapin to. Kailangan kong tumayo sa gitna, hindi dahil gusto kong maging angat sa iba o mapansin, but because maybe this is part of what I’m meant to do.
People keep telling me I deserve the things I’m achieving. Pero ang hirap paniwalaan kapag ikaw mismo, ang dami mong doubts sa sarili mo,” he adds.
(But at the same time, I also know I have to face this. I need to step up, not because I want to stand out or get noticed, but because maybe this is part of what I’m meant to do. People keep telling me I deserve the things I’m achieving. But it’s hard to believe that when you have so many doubts about yourself.)
“So this time, I’m choosing to stand here. This time, I’m taking the Middle because if I want to remind people of their greatness, I need to remind myself first na meron din ako nun (that I have that, too),” he concludes.
General ticket selling starts on July 9 at 6:00 PM. Tickets are available via Helixpay with prices ranging from PHP 4,000 (General) to PHP 12,00 (SVIP).
