Filipino boy band SB19 is preparing to meet their international fans this August. The P-pop quintet, composed of Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin, announced the dates and locations for their I WaS There Thanksgiving Fanmeet.
Formed in 2018, SB19 paved the way for the modern P-pop industry. They steadily rose to global prominence through standout vocals, synchronized choreography, and a strong commitment to self-produced music.
According to the announcement, the group will first head to Sacramento, U.S., on August 8, 2026. Shortly after, they will travel to Yokohama, Japan, for another fan gathering scheduled for August 18, 2026. The official social media channels of the group teased that more details regarding the venues and ticket sales will be announced soon.
The fan meetings are closely tied to their lore, utilizing the hashtags #WakasAtSimulaAftermath and #TheStoryContinues. “Wakas at Simula,” the title of SB19’s latest full-length album, translates to “end and beginning” in English, while the accompanying hashtags carry the album’s story into the upcoming fan events.
Now operating under their own company, 1Z Entertainment, SB19 maintains total creative control over their artistry.
These fan meetings are just a few of the major events on SB19’s packed schedule this year. Before heading to their international fan gatherings, the group is set to headline the highly anticipated Puregold OPM Con Generations at the Smart Araneta Coliseum in Quezon City on July 11. They will share the stage with fellow Filipino acts Ben&Ben and ALAMAT.
The P-pop quintet is also continuing to expand its global presence. On July 30, SB19 will become the first all-Filipino act to perform at the renowned Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago. The momentum continues into the following month, as the group is also scheduled to take the stage at Summer Sonic in Osaka on August 14 and Tokyo on August 15.
Fans are eagerly waiting for the full details of the I WaS There fan meetings to drop.
