Acer and SB19 mark 5 years of collaboration with outstanding achievements

Acer Philippines recently invited SB19 to visit Acer’s Taipei headquarters as “one-day employees” to experience the brand’s innovations firsthand during their “Simula at Wakas” world tour stop in Taipei. 

TAIPEI — Before SB19’s “Simula at Wakas” world tour stop in Taipei, SB19 was invited to Acer’s Taipei headquarters as “one-day employees.” Besides being honored guests, the “Kings of P-pop” also met Acer Chairman and CEO Jason Chen, along with Pan-Asia Pacific President Andrew Hou, who gave each member—Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin—a Predator Helios 18 gaming laptop as a token of appreciation for their five-year collaboration.

During their visit, SB19 visited Acer’s product experience center, where they tried out the latest gaming laptops and to the FreeSense Ring smart wearable developed by Acer Fashion. The group also participated in a design workshop, where they brainstormed ideas for laptop aesthetics and compact home appliances. 

Spotify unveils BALASA: A new way for A’TIN to celebrate SB19’s latest Simula at Wakas era

SB19 is back with Simula at Wakas — a bold new chapter in their music journey. To take the comeback even further, the P-Pop kings have teamed up with Spotify to launch BALASA — a brand-new in-app experience built just for this era.

Live on Spotify, BALASA invites A’TIN to go beyond streaming and experience Simula at Wakas in a whole new way — through a fandom-powered quest.

The journey starts on the This Is SB19 playlist, where five tracks each hold a hidden BALASA card — one for every member of the group. To complete the quest, fans can stream and share the right songs, with clues hidden in Canvas: the looping visuals that play on each track. The more A’TIN engage and share, the more surprises may unfold along the way!

From endings to beginnings: SB19 concludes EP trilogy with Simula at Wakas

The 7-track EP reflects SB19’s complex humanity and evolving artistry, while dealing with the constant pressures of fame, identity, and public opinion

Celebrating a journey marked by shared experience, invaluable wisdom, and artistic growth, SB19 returns with the release of their third EP, Simula at Wakas—out on all digital music platforms worldwide via Sony Music Entertainment. Their highly anticipated body of work captures the band’s evolution as artists and individuals, honoring the past while stepping boldly into the future.

“It’s our way of saying thank you and showing how much we’ve evolved,” P-Pop kings share in an official statement. “Simula at Wakas encapsulates everything we’ve been through: the struggles, the growth, the milestones. We hope it speaks not only to those who’ve been with us from the start but also welcomes new listeners into our world.”

SB19 marks bold new era in P-Pop with genre-defying single “DAM”

The track will serve as the first official single off their upcoming EP, Simula at Wakas

A week after announcing the highly anticipated kickoff of their world tour at the prestigious Philippine Arena, Filipino supergroup SB19 continues to cement their place as a true P-Pop trailblazer with the release of “DAM,” the first official single off their upcoming EP, Simula at Wakas.

Fueled by their deep appreciation for medieval fantasy and innovative approach to sound, “DAM” marks a fresh chapter in SB19’s genre-defying journey. The track seamlessly fuses elements of hip-hop, Celtic and Filipino folk, EDM, industrial, and prog-rock, while retaining the signature martial energy that defined their previous hits “What” and “GENTO.” What sets “DAM” apart, however, is not only its grandiosity, but  also its willingness to push the envelope both lyrically and sonically—an experimental exploration of new musical frontiers, if you would describe it.
