Billboard Philippines celebrates the future of P-pop with the first ever P-pop Rising Class Party, an unprecedented crossover of P-pop’s recognizable names, gathering some of the biggest and brightest names in the scene for a night of celebration and community.

As we embrace today’s P-pop renaissance, we also look ahead to its bright and promising future. The P-pop Rising Class Party puts the spotlight on ALAMAT, BGYO, G22, GAT, KAIA, and VXON, with a night that recognizes their contributions in pushing Original Pilipino Music (OPM) forward with their fresh and captivating pop sound.

This celebration comes as the culmination of Billboard Philippines‘ P-pop Rising Class, which has set the stage for shaping a unique culture within the P-pop scene. In recent years, P-pop has experienced a meteoric rise, cultivating a passionate community that proudly embraces what’s ours like never before.

Led by today’s hottest and rising P-pop groups, there’s no doubt the genre has evolved into more than just a movement, it’s a revolution, and we’re right at the heart of it. Forging an identity that is proudly Filipino yet crafted for the global stage, these groups have weaved their heritage into their music in ways that resonate with audiences both locally and internationally.

Happening today (June 5, 2025), at the Stratosphere in Century City Mall in Makati, this year’s P-pop Rising Class is joined by a number of special guests, including SB19, HORI7ON, and Over October. As we welcome you to the P-pop Rising Class Party, this special night not only celebrates where P-pop is today but also sets the stage for what’s next, ultimately reinforcing the idea that P-pop is not just a musical genre, but a cultural statement.
