P-Pop kings, SB19 recently announced the release of their highly anticipated full-length album, Wakas at Simula.
"Wakas at Simula closes the chapter of proving ourselves.", SB19 said in a press statement. With the global success of their Simula at Wakas World Tour, and their upcoming appearance at the Lollapalooza Festival, an annual four-day music festival which will take place in Grant Park, Chicago on July 30- August 2, 2026, this album's concept in duality and transformation, it unifies the group's trilogy of their acclaimed EPs (Pagsibol, Pagtatag, and Simula at Wakas) while they introduced six new tracks that push the boundaries of pop music with newfound confidence and sonic adventurism.
The group are excited for Lollapalooza, Pablo said, "Sabi nga po ni Josh eh ever since we started our career as artists, parang 'yun talaga 'yung pinaghahandaan namin. Itong moment na 'to na makapagperform sa Lollapalooza and show them how talented Filipinos are."
Stell said during the press launch of their album last Monday, Stell said, "We are very happy na paunti-unti na naabot namin ang mga pangarap namin noon hanggang ngayon. Hindi pa rin kami naniniwala na naabot na sya. And with the album naman po, I think it's a perfect timing somehow ito na nung parang naabot na namin in our lifetime dito sa tinatahak namin as an artist talaga as SB19. Kasi ang goal namin is to go global."
The group has been collaborating with other artists as singles, not part of their EPs. With their upcoming album, they joined forces with Asian superstar JOLIN for their song, Emoji; and Japanese group, BE:FIRST for Toyfriend.
Stell added, "We're very happy and excited to share yung mga tracks na ginawa namin with them sa inyo. I think it's not only for us to show yung skills ng SB19, but of course, mapakita rin yung collaboration ng cultures together and mapakita yung kaya maging maitawid ng mga musika namin to other countries.

While the group will not be holding a world tour this time around, they will be playing shows across North America, Europe, and the Middle East in the latter half of the year.
When asked if they are still nervous doing world tours, Justin mentioned, "Kasi if mawawala kaba namin sa mga bagay na gagawin namin, ibig sabihin nawawala ang excitement, or yung pressure for us to do our best. So I think yung kaba is one of essential things na kailangan sa performer, sa artist. Kasi ibig sabihin pinapahalagaan mo yung gusto mong gawin. And eventhough pang ilang tour, third tour na namin yung previous tour po, kinakabahan pa rin kami kasi we have a goal na gusto namin i-achieve. We want to impress people and eventhough, we think sometimes na baka same audience lang naman yan, but sabi namin from the very beginning pa lang na kahit gaanong pa kaliit or gaano konti ang audience, kahit sino pa po yun, we're going to do our best. So definitely kinakabahan kami every time."
