Los Angeles turned into a major milestone moment for BINI as they officially received the Global Force Award at Billboard Women in Music 2026. Held at the Hollywood Palladium on April 29, 2026 (Pacific time), the event gathered some of the biggest names in global music, placing BINI right in the middle of a night that celebrated women shaping the sound of today.
The 2026 ceremony featured a stacked roster of artists and industry figures recognized across different categories of influence. This year’s honorees included:
Cara Delevingne presented BINI’s Global Force award.
BINI proved they belong on the global stage after completing their BINIverse World Tour and dominating the charts with record-breaking hits, truly solidifying their international appeal. Their journey was marked by consistent recognition from Billboard Philippines Women in Music:
Their international presence expanded further through key career moments, including their historic Coachella 2026 performance, where they became the first all-Filipino group to take the stage at the festival. They also performed at the GRAMMY Museum in Los Angeles, marking their inclusion in global music conversations beyond live performances.
Together, these moments built the foundation for their Global Force recognition in 2026.Â
On the red carpet, BINI shared space with a wide range of global artists, including Laufey, Tate McRae, Zara Larsson, Kim Petras, and The Beaches, among others. One standout moment for Filipino fans was BINI’s interaction with Mexican superstar ThalĂa. Known and loved in the Philippines, especially for her iconic Marimar era, ThalĂa’s heartwarming interaction with BINI added a nostalgic layer to an already historic night.
Support also came from Sarah Geronimo, the first Filipino Global Force Award recipient in 2024. She shared how proud she was of BINI’s achievement, describing the award as a symbol of courage and hope for Filipino music reaching global audiences. She highlighted the group’s dedication and talent, noting how they continue to elevate OPM by showcasing Filipino artistry on international stages.
Sarah also encouraged BINI to keep pushing forward, stay grounded in their craft, and continue breaking boundaries as artists representing the Philippines worldwide. Her message added a meaningful generational link between two Filipino Global Force honorees.
With this latest milestone, BINI continues to build momentum on the global stage. The group is preparing for their Signals World Tour, set to bring them to more international audiences and bigger venues across Asia, North America, and Europe. They are also scheduled to perform at Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan, one of Asia’s most established music festivals.
From Manila recognition to global stages in Los Angeles and beyond, BINI’s trajectory continues to expand, with each milestone marking a stronger presence for P-pop in the international music landscape.
