The global spotlight is calling, and SB19 is answering in a big way. The P-pop trailblazers are officially part of the Lollapalooza 2026 lineup, making history as the first homegrown Filipino group to perform at the iconic Chicago festival.

Set from July 30 to August 2 at Grant Park, Lollapalooza is one of the largest and most influential music festivals in the world, drawing an estimated crowd of over 400,000 attendees across four days. With eight stages and a massive, genre-spanning lineup, it remains one of the most important global platforms for artists today.

SB19 now finds itself in the company of some of the biggest names in music. This year’s headliners include Charli XCX, Lorde, Jennie, The Smashing Pumpkins, and The xx, alongside a stacked roster that includes Tate McRae and Olivia Dean.

Asian acts are also making a strong showing this year, with K-pop groups aespa and I-DLE joining the lineup, alongside Jennie as one of the festival’s top-billed headliners. 

Also on the bill is Beabadoobee, whose continued rise on the international circuit highlights the growing presence of Filipino and Filipino-rooted artists on major global stages.

While the full daily schedule has yet to be announced, artists at Lollapalooza typically perform a single 45- to 60-minute set across one of its multiple stages. SB19 is expected to take the stage on one of the four days, with exact timing and stage assignment to be revealed closer to the festival.

Ticket sales begin on March 19, with 4-day passes available across tiers ranging from General Admission to GA+, VIP, and Platinum, with prices starting at around $399 and going up to about $4,650. Single-day tickets are expected to be released at a later date following the daily lineup announcement.

For SB19, this isn’t just another international appearance. It’s a defining moment that reflects how far they’ve come and how much P-pop and OPM have grown in global reach. Lollapalooza isn’t just massive in scale. It’s a cultural institution that has long shaped the global music landscape.

And now, SB19 is part of that conversation
