Who Are SB19, and Why Are They Called the Kings of P-pop?
Formed in 2018, SB19 – composed of Josh, justin, Ken, PABLO, and Stell – have been key players in the emergence of P-pop as a local, and later international, genre. Their musical trailblazing has led them to be dubbed the “Kings of P-pop.”
To date, the boy band has released a trilogy of EPs – Pagsibol, PAGTATAG!, and Simula at Wakas – and two studio albums. Their latest record Wakas at Simula contains fan-favorite tracks from their EPs such as “MAPA” and “GENTO” along with new tracks like “Emoji” and “Visa.”
Their upcoming performance at the KPOPWORLD Festival will be another addition to the group’s lineup of huge international performances to come.
The boy band is scheduled to appear at Chicago’s Lollapalooza from July 30 to August 2, 2026, making them the first Filipino artist to perform at the music festival. They are also set to perform on the second day of Japan’s 3-day Summer Sonic Festival from August 14 to 16, 2026.
