SB19 continued to raise the Philippine flag on the global stage as the P-pop supergroup became the first all-Filipino act to perform at Lollapalooza.
The quintet delivered a one-hour, 10-song set at Chicago’s Allianz Stage, treating festivalgoers to career-defining performances, surprise collaborations and proud Filipino moments.
Here are five highlights from SB19’s landmark appearance at one of the world’s biggest music festivals.
1. Powerful opening statement
SB19 wasted no time making a statement. Before launching into their opening songs, the group proudly declared, “From the Philippines to the world.”
The message set the tone for the rest of the performance as the members kicked off their set with Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart-topper “DAM” before seamlessly transitioning into their viral hit “Gento.”
What an unforgettable experience! We hope we made an impact, and we’re beyond proud to represent the Philippines at Lollapalooza. Maraming salamat

The track was officially released on digital platforms at midnight Philippine time on July 31, only a few hours before SB19 stepped onto the Lollapalooza stage. Instead of waiting for a concert tour, the group chose one of the world’s biggest festivals to introduce the song live.
3. ‘Mga Kababayan!’
SB19 also brought Filipino music history to Chicago by performing a high-energy preview of “Mga Kababayan,” the iconic song by the late Master Rapper Francis Magalona.
MGA KABABAYAN, THIS IS SB19 FROM THE PHILIPPINES!

5. A’TIN fans celebrate together across the Philippines
While thousands watched live in Chicago, Filipino fans gathered across the country to witness the historic performance together.
A’TIN flocked to organized watch parties at Rizal Park in Manila, SMX Convention Center Pampanga, Bacolod City Government Center and Royal Mandaya Hotel in Davao for free live simulcasts.
Organized by the Department of Tourism together with SB19’s brand partners, the events transformed the group’s Lollapalooza debut into a nationwide celebration.
