Running from May 24 to June 29 at L4, Gateway Mall 2, Araneta City, the experience offers eight 60-minute time slots on weekdays and ten on weekends. To celebrate this milestone by the Kings of P-pop, Billboard Philippines lists five exciting things to expect at The Simula at Wakas Experience — from exclusive merchandise and immersive set pieces to personal stories and surprises that elevate the entire experience.

Beyond their music, the boys aren’t afraid to tell their journey from their humble beginnings to where they are now and what they can achieve in the foreseeable future. They create a unique way for A’TIN and fans to experience their own little world, anchored by the themes and emotions of “DAM,” the lead single of their EP. This immersive journey starts with the “DAM” walkway that not only celebrates SB19’s legacy but also serves as a living, breathing archive of their artistry, growth, and connection with their loyal fanbase. It’s a heartfelt thank you to A’TIN and a tribute to the shared moments and memories.

Marking the beginning of their current era, SB19 made their biggest comeback yet. They kicked it off with “DAM,” which debuted on the Billboard Philippines Hot 100 last March and peaked at No. 4. With a cinematic concept for its music video, “DAM” highlights just how far the group can go in showcasing their artistry and visual presence. As visitors enter “The Lair,” they step into the world brought to life in the “DAM” music video, complete with actual set pieces used in the production.
