🎊 Just 12 days left until Lollapalooza!! 🎊
As SB19 prepares to perform at Lollapalooza, we want to share a quick update with our US-based and Global A’TIN.
Because of Lolla’s festival restrictions, we will not be organizing any official US A’TIN fan projects for this event. We want everyone to enjoy the festival smoothly, avoid confusion at the festival grounds, and keep the focus on what Lolla is all about: the music, the live performances, discovering new artists, and sharing the moment with thousands of fellow music fans.
That said, members, individuals, and SB19 supporters are still welcome to share photocards, freebies, or small fan-made items before or after the event and outside the festival grounds. Please be respectful of each meet-up location’s rules and restrictions.
For Lolla, and as an A'TIN, simply attending and being part of the festival already means so much. It's one of the most powerful ways we can show support for SB19. Let's be present, cheer loud, sing along, welcome new listeners, and represent SB19 and A’TIN well. Since this is a music festival, let’s also be mindful of the space we share with the fans of many different artists and genres. Let us celebrate the full Lolla experience, keep the good vibes going, and make it a joyful and unforgettable moment for everyone.
See you there! ✨

SB19’s ceremonial first pitch isn’t just a cool invitation, it’s a strategic move that perfectly sets the stage for what comes next. The timing places them in front of a massive, unexpected audience right before one of the biggest performances of their career, turning a simple appearance into a powerful moment of visibility.
Think about the sequence.
The day before they step onto one of the biggest music festival stages in the world at Lollapalooza, they’ll first be walking onto the field at a Chicago White Sox vs. New York Yankees game.
Whether you’re a baseball fan or not, the Yankees are one of the most recognizable sports brands on the planet. A Yankees–White Sox matchup naturally draws attention from fans, media, and people who may have never heard of SB19 before.
That’s what makes this so smart.
Lollapalooza introduces them to people who came looking for music. The first pitch introduces them to thousands of people who weren’t looking for them at all.
Many in that stadium will be asking, “Who are these guys?”
And that’s exactly the point.
Now imagine the boys being introduced as they walk onto the field with one of their banger tracks blasting through the stadium speakers. Tens of thousands of people will hear that sound, look up at the video board, and see five Filipino artists taking the field before a marquee MLB matchup. Even if they don’t know a single song, they’ll remember the name. Moments like that spark curiosity, and curiosity is often where new fans begin.
The appearance isn’t about throwing the perfect pitch. It’s about creating awareness before one of the biggest performances of their career. By the time they take the Lollapalooza stage the next day, the name “SB19” will have already appeared on stadium screens, in sports coverage, on White Sox social media, and in countless fan photos and videos.
I also think the A’TIN who attend that game will play a meaningful role. They’ll be sharing their own photos and videos, but they’ll also be amplifying the White Sox’s official posts, MLB content, and any coverage featuring SB19. That kind of authentic fan engagement can dramatically expand the reach of the event beyond the people in the stadium. Suddenly, baseball fans, music fans, casual social media users, and people preparing for Lollapalooza are all seeing the same name pop up in their feeds.
Instead of simply arriving for a festival, they’ll have a chance to make an early impression. By the time Lollapalooza begins, some attendees might already be thinking, “Oh, those are the guys from the White Sox game yesterday.”
It’s also a reminder that breaking into a new market rarely happens through one big moment. It happens through a series of well-timed appearances that introduce you to different audiences, one community at a time.
Music. Sports. Culture.
Each one opens a different door.
Sometimes the biggest opportunities happen before the main event even begins.
BAIT TALAGA NI OFIFI. INAGAHAN NGA NYA!
GUYS, TODAY IS SUNDAY AND KUNG MAG CHURCH KAYO, OFFER A PRAYER FOR SB19 AND THE WHOLE TEAM NA MAG TRAVEL ABROAD.
MORE THAN ANYTHING, PRAYERS NATIN ANG GREATEST WEAPON. 🙏
BLESSED SUNDAY EVERYONE.

Happy 28th Birthday to SB19's extremely handsome and hugely talented Award-winning Singer, Rapper, Dancer, Songwriter, Visual Artist, Director, Actor and Fashion & Philippine Global Icon, the One & Only #JUSTIN! 👏🎂🎉🌟👑��
Justin found fame as the Vocalist, Creative Director and visual genius of the hugely popular chart-topping, record-breaking, top-selling Philippine Group #SB19! He's the sharp, multi-talented artistic heartbeat and visionary of SB19. He's also a great All-Rounder with lots of charisma onstage. With honors in Multimedia Arts, Justin, the youngest member of SB19, is a creative Powerhouse and crafts mind-blowing MVs! He's also a very successful artist in his own right and has released soul-stirring solo hits like his latest "dahon"! He has been key to SB19's viral success, particularly with “Go Up,” and has directed iconic MVs including “What?”, “Gento,” & “WYAT” while steering visuals for albums and concerts like 'Back in the Zone'!
Justin de Dios launched his solo era in 2024 with "Surreal", which he self-directed, garnering millions of streams and snagging the MYX Music Awards 2024 Mellow Video of the Year Award. He followed it up with the emotional ballad "Kaibigan" which won 'Favorite Record of the Year' at the 2025 AWIT awards, creating a strong solo fanbase. In June 2026, he dropped the amazing "Dahon", a heartfelt solo single co-written with Maki, which made waves with its fall-themed vibes and his incredible live performances. As SB19’s creative director, Justin helms his own visuals, proving he's not just a performer but a full artistic force.
Justin officially debuted with SB19 on October 26, 2018, alongside Stell, Pablo, Josh, Justin, and Ken with their first single “Tilaluha.” In 2019 the group became famous when their dance practice video for their 2nd single "Go Up", went viral! The Band released their debut studio album 'Get in the Zone' on July 31, 2020 and soon became the leaders of the Pinoy pop (P-pop) industry! On May 19, 2023, SB19 released "Gento", the lead single off their second EP 'Pagtatag'! The song was a huge commercial success, going viral on TikTok which helped introduce SB19 to viewers in other countries, including the US. 'Pagtatag!' was released on June that same month. SB19 became self-managed after they created their own company 1Z Entertainment. On February 28, 2025, SB19 released "Dam," the first single from the EP 'Simula', which dropped on April 25. “DAM” debuted at #1 on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, making SB19 the first Filipino act to top the chart! The group released strong follow-ups including “Dungka!” and “Time” from the Simula at Wakas EP (2025). In 2026, they dropped “VISA” which hit #6 on the World Digital Song Sales chart and “Emoji” with Jolin Tsai from their full album 'Wakas at Simula', maintaining solid international momentum and chart presence.
SB19 are also a Powerhouse touring act. Their 'Simula at Wakas' sold out World Tour kicked off at the Philippine Arena on May 31, 2025 scoring several attendance records and wrapped up in late 2025! SB19 will perform at major festivals this summer including Lollapalooza Chicago on Thursday, July 30, 2026. They’re scheduled for a one-hour set on the Allianz Stage and will make history becoming the first Filipino act to perform at the festival. They will also perform at the Summer Sonic in Japan, mid-August!
Justin has won impressive solo and individual awards primarily for his visuals, creative work as SB19's creative director and music video director, and solo music releases. He also shares in the group's many collective wins and their historic feats like becoming the first Southeast Asian act nominated at the Billboard Music Awards! His solo standout awards include 'Best Visual of 2022 at the P-Pop Music Awards, 'TAG 25 Under 25 Honorary Inductee in 2023 at the TAG Awards Chicago, 'Most Handsome Filipino' by the Netizens Report in 2023, the 'Mellow Video of the Year' for his self-directed solo track "surreal" at the MYX Music Awards in 2024, 'Folk Song of the Year' for "Sampung Mga Daliri" at the Filipino Music Awards in 2025, 'Favorite Music Video of the Year' for "surreal" and 'Favorite Record of the Year' for "kaibigan" both at the 2025 Awit Awards!
Justin has several brand endorsements and ambassadorships, mostly as part of the group but with some standout individual or highlighted roles due to his huge visual and creative appeal. He serves as Bench Brand Ambassador since 2024, highlighted as a Global Bench Setter, has starred at several M&M’s events, and has been endorsed as a member of SB19 by brands like Watsons Philippines (2026) & Lazada. Justin has an ongoing cultural role with SB19 as NCCA Youth and Sentro Rizal Ambassadors promoting Philippine arts globally and received a special award replica in 2024. SB19 just signed with United Talent Agency (UTA) in 2026 for global representation, which includes brand partnerships and international opportunities! Justin also runs his own business, Visar Society, which promotes nature-inspired products.
Justin is actively involved in charity work with SB19 in group philanthropic efforts, including disaster relief for Taal Volcano, monsoon/typhoon victims, and donation drives for typhoon and earthquake survivors, like the 2026 “Room of Hope” fundraiser for Mindanao earthquake victims. He notably volunteered in Sony Music’s 2024 “Season of Giving” campaign with Rise Against Hunger Philippines (RAHP) to pack and distribute meals for food-insecure communities. He has performed at animal welfare events like PAWchella for groups such as Biyaya Animal Sanctuary and the PAWssion Project, and backs broader causes including children’s homes (e.g., Holy Cross Children’s Home drives), disaster relief, and community initiatives often amplified by fan-led efforts tied to his projects and birthdays.
From a quiet trainee battling self-doubt, Justin has become one of the most radiant and visionary forces in global P-pop. He has put his heart into directing, and designing the breathtaking visuals that helped transform SB19 from underdogs into international icons. His self-directed solo masterpieces like “surreal,” “kaibigan,” and “dahon” showcase a fearless artist who turned his dreams into cinematic reality, earning critical acclaim and major awards along the way. A cultural ambassador for the Philippines through NCCA, a celebrated brand face, and a tireless innovator behind SB19’s record-breaking eras, Justin continues to captivate fans all over the world with ambitious concerts and festival milestones like Lollapalooza, proving he is not just a P-Pop star, but a true visionary shaping the future of Filipino artistry on the global stage!
