- SB19's upcoming tour as the #SaWWorldTour
In a social media post on Wednesday, February 12, SB19 announced the cities that are included in their "Simula At Wakas" world tour happening from May to October.
The tour will kick off in Bulacan this coming May. The group will also perform in other parts of Asia, the United States and the Middle East. SB19 has yet to reveal further details about the tour.
The group composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, will drop its comeback single on February 28 followed by the official release of "Simula at Wakas" EP on April 25.
Fans and followers of SB19 also shared their support to SB19's upcoming tour as the #SaWWorldTour trends on microblogging site X (formerly Twitter).
Simula at Wakas promises to push the guys further into the global-pop conversation as the final chapter in their musical trilogy following 2021’s Pagsibol and Pagtatag! from 2023.
SB19 first teased fans with a new trailer video on January 31, 2025 (below) that featured visual callbacks to previous hits like “What?” and “Gento” (which hit No. 8 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart in 2023) to signal a fresh, new musical direction for their soon-to-be revealed new single set for a February 28 release.
SB19 on Friday unveiled a cinematic teaser for their upcoming new extended play "Simula at Wakas".
The teaser showed the five members wearing long, thick, and brown clothing in a mysterious part of a forest where a glowing tree resides. An apple seemingly served as a key element in the visuals, a known imagery in many films and literature.
Soon afterward, the Filipino sensation will hit the road with a series of concerts, including U.S. stops in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Honolulu, and more, alongside international dates in cities like Toronto, Tokyo, Sydney, Taipei, Doha, and more.
“We’re really excited to meet everyone,” Ken tells Billboard. “We’ve been preparing for unlimited surprises for you guys.”
While Justin promises that fans will hear new songs from Simula at Wakas for the first time, Josh is sure to add that A’TIN should “stay tuned for new genres and performances, plus fresh arrangements of our older tracks!”
While the guys are laser-focused on releasing their new music, they say bringing those songs to life in new countries and territories is equally exciting to the quintet.
“We’re thrilled to finally share what we’ve been working on over the past few months,” Stell says. “After a long break as a group, our main focus is now on the new EP, and we can’t wait to reconnect with our fans — especially in places we haven’t visited before. We’re really excited to meet everyone there.”
In addition to the world tour dates already set between May-August, as well as October 2025, SB19 say “more cities will be announced soon” with dates coming soon for their Sydney, Melbourne, Tokyo, and Hong Kong stops.
“We are pushing the boundaries and we want the best for all of the fans,” leader Pablo shares before Josh adds, “We think from our last tour they have seen more of our individuality but this time, we will be coming stronger.”
Stell concludes by speaking to SB19’s larger ambitions, saying “We really want our fans to connect with our stories since we did it with all our hearts. Our goals are not only for SB19 but for the entire Philippine music industry.”
