A’TINs pack watch parties across PH ahead of SB19’s Lollapalooza debut

Thousands of A’TIN gather across PH for watch parties as SB19 drops “LAWLESS” hours before the historic global stage.

Just hours before SB19 made history as the first Filipino group to perform at Lollapalooza, thousands of A’TIN gathered across the Philippines for watch parties, turning the moment into a nationwide celebration.

One of the biggest crowds formed at the Rizal Park Open Air Auditorium in Manila, where the Department of Tourism hosted a public viewing that drew over a thousand fans. The turnout didn’t go unnoticed online, with one netizen joking, “D’yan ba yung Lollapalooza? Ang daming tao!”

Adding to the hype, Stell, Pablo, Josh, Ken, and Justin sent special video messages thanking fans at Luneta for their unwavering support. Among those in attendance was 102-year-old Nanay Julita Odron, who joined fellow A’TIN in witnessing the group’s milestone moment.

The celebration spilled beyond the venue as the Rizal Monument lit up in SB19’s signature blue—a tribute from the National Parks Development Committee (NPDC), which honored the group as tourism ambassadors ahead of their global stage. “The Philippines is with you,” the agency said.

Right at midnight (PHT), the excitement hit another peak when SB19 surprised fans with the release of their new single “LAWLESS” and its official music video, marking the start of a new era just hours before they took the stage.

Fans worldwide tuned in via Disney+ and Weverse, while thousands back home watched together—cheering as SB19 delivered yet another historic moment for P-pop.
