SB19 are ready to make history.

On July 31, 2026 (PHT), the Kings of P-pop will become the first homegrown Filipino act to perform at Lollapalooza in Grant Park, Chicago, taking over the Allianz Stage for a one-hour afternoon festival set. It marks yet another milestone for the quintet who have built an international following by creating music that transcends borders while proudly carrying the Filipino flag wherever they perform.

Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin have already given global audiences a glimpse of what they can do. During their appearance at the GRAMMY Museum’s Global Spin Live, they performed the global hit “GENTO” and the emotional ballad “Wakas.” Now, with a full festival set at one of the world’s biggest music festivals, they have an even bigger opportunity to showcase the full range of their artistry and introduce more listeners to the sound of P-pop.

While the final setlist remains under wraps, here’s Billboard Philippines‘ wishlist of the songs we’d love to hear SB19 perform on the Lollapalooza stage, in no particular order.


“DAM”

Between its explosive production and message of resilience, it’s the perfect introduction to not just the group, but the grit and ambition behind their global rise. Its No. 1 debut on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart only proves it can resonate far beyond the Philippines.

“Emoji”

You don’t need to know the song to get swept up in the performance. With this track’s addictive rhythm and standout choreography, it’s easy to imagine the crowd moving along from the very first beat.

“8TonBall”

A one-hour festival set leaves little room to slow down, and this is exactly the kind of song that keeps the crowd locked in. Its hard-hitting production and relentless rap verses would inject a jolt of adrenaline into the set.

“I WANT YOU”

This R&B anthem is a crowd favorite among A’TIN for a good reason. Its smooth groove and rich harmonies would highlight a different side of SB19’s artistry, proving they can command the stage in more ways than one.

“Memories”

In between the explosive performances, the nostalgic storytelling and soaring vocals of “Memories” would reveal more heart behind SB19’s music, inviting first-time listeners to connect with the group on a deeper level beyond the spectacle.

“CRIMZONE”

Pushing the intensity to its absolute limit, this track’s energy leaves little room to catch your breath, in the best way possible. Its thunderous production and pace are sure to keep the Allianz Stage crowd on their feet and moving to every beat.

“VISA”

No song feels more fitting for an international stage than “VISA.” If there’s one crowd participation moment we hope makes the set, it’s thousands of voices chanting “Noypi, noypi, noypi, noypi, yeah” together — a proud declaration of Filipino identity on a global stage.

“WYAT (Where You At)”

This feel-good disco-pop anthem would serve as the set’s biggest mood-lifter. After a string of intense performances, its carefree energy and irresistible groove would keep the crowd moving while showing a lighter side of the five-member act.

“Wakas”

After moving audiences at the GRAMMY Museum, this emotional ballad deserves another moment on an even bigger stage to prove how music can connect audiences beyond language. It would also serve as a powerful reminder that beyond the choreography and explosive performances, SB19 are exceptional vocalists.

“Quit”

A rock-driven anthem like this would be a welcome surprise in the middle of the set. Its pop-punk edge and anthemic chorus would prove the group is unafraid to explore new genres while turning the crowd into a sea of waving hands.

“Everblack”

Just when festivalgoers think they’ve seen every side of the Kings of P-pop, this track would shift the mood completely. Its moody production and fearless experimentation would reinforce that there’s no single sound that defines SB19.

“GENTO”

No SB19 setlist feels complete without “Gento.” As the song that introduced countless listeners around the world to the group, it’s the perfect closer — bringing thousands together for one final dance before they leave knowing exactly who SB19 are.

Bonus: “LAWLESS”

There’s no bigger stage to kick off a new musical chapter than Lollapalooza. A surprise live debut would instantly become one of the most memorable moments of their historic set. That said, SB19 have never let A’TIN down when it comes to crafting memorable setlists, and this milestone stage will be no different.
