P-pop is stepping onto one of its biggest global festival stages yet as SB19 and BINI become the first Filipino acts to perform at Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan. Two powerhouse acts, one massive stage, and a moment that feels like P-pop pushing even deeper into the global spotlight.
SB19 continues to build a global footprint through chart success, awards, and international stages. They made history on Billboard Social 50 as the first Filipino group to enter the chart, while “Bazinga” hit #1 on Hot Trending Songs and “DAM” topped the World Digital Song Sales chart.
Their recognition includes a Billboard Music Awards 2021 nomination for Top Social Artist alongside BTS and BLACKPINK, plus wins at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and SEC Awards (2022, 2024, and 2025) in Brazil. They also received major recognition at the Asia Artist Awards 2023, BreakTudo Awards 2023, Billboard K Power 100, and more, cementing their status as global P-pop trailblazers.
From their successful Simula at Wakas World Tour to stages like ACON 2025 in Taiwan and D.U.N.K. Showcase in Japan, SB19 has become one of Asia’s strongest global festival acts. Their Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale also became one of the biggest solo concerts in P-pop history, drawing fans from different parts of the world. Now, with Summer Sonic 2026 and their historic Lollapalooza debut, they continue pushing P-pop forward globally.
BINI continues building global momentum through milestones, awards, and international stages. Their newest EP, Signals, reached #1 on iTunes Top Albums shortly after its release. Another milestone includes their Coachella performance, marking a historic first for a Filipino group and signaling their global arrival.
This year, they earned the Powerhouse Award at Billboard PH Women in Music and the Global Force Award at Billboard Women in Music in Los Angeles. They also received multiple awards at the BreakTudo Awards (2023–2025), Music Rank Asian Choice Awards 2025, and recognition across international platforms, including the Jupiter Music Awards 2024, MTV Europe Music Awards, and TAG Awards Chicago.
Their BINIverse World Tour 2025 included a sold-out Philippine Arena show and stops across Asia, Europe, and North America. With their successful Coachella and GRAMMY Museum performances and upcoming Signals World Tour, BINI steps into Summer Sonic 2026 as one of P-pop’s fastest-rising global forces.
BINI and SB19 joining the massive lineup at Summer Sonic 2026 is a signal of how far P-pop and OPM have come. This is P-pop stepping beyond borders with confidence, turning a global stage into something that finally feels within reach and fully owned.Â
