On March 6, 2024, during their press conference for their debut extended play, Talaarawan , Bini announced their first solo concert titled "Biniverse", to be held at the New Frontier Theater. [1] Tickets went on sale on April 2 and sold out in less than two hours. As a result, fans asked for a second concert or a bigger venue, [2] specifically the neighboring Araneta Coliseum. This led to the #WeWantBINIverseInAraneta hashtag becoming a trend on X. [3] Due to public demand, Star Music announced a second concert on April 4, [4] with a third being announced later on April 8. [5] Ticket sales for the additional dates went live on April 9, which also sold out in less than two hours. [6]

On June 12, Star Music announced that the concert would make regional stops in July: on July 6 at the Camp John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio, on July 14 at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City, and on July 20 at the open grounds of the KCC Mall in General Santos. [7]

Performances

New Frontier Theater

Bini started the concert with a medley of "Na Na Na", "Lagi", and "I Feel Good" lasting 17 minutes. [8] [9] Each member had their solo performances. Mikha and Stacey were the first to perform their solo acts. Mikha began her performance by playing a short snippet of Demon Slayer 's opening theme song "Gurenge" on the electric guitar. She then sang Paramore's "That's What You Get" while playing the guitar before transitioning to Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now". Stacey performed "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande. Then Aiah, Maloi, and Sheena presented their performances; Aiah performed Doja Cat's "Woman", with the rap part performed in Cebuano. Maloi combined her love of painting with a performance of Up Dharma Down's "Oo". Sheena showed her skills as the group's main dancer with a routine to Rihanna's "Pour It Up". The final solo performances were played by Gwen, Colet, and Jhoanna. Colet performed Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love", which got a particularly enthusiastic response on Day 1. Gwen did a chair dance to Little Mix's "Woman Like Me". Jhoanna concluded the solo acts by performing Sarah Geronimo's "Isa Pang Araw", accompanied by a string quartet. [10] [9] Bini's concert featured multiple wardrobe changes and interactive elements. [10]

Balloons were dropped primarily in the SVIP/VIP area during "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi", with Maloi prompting fans to pop them, revealing handwritten notes. "Pantropiko" featured large beach balls tossed into the audience, creating a festive atmosphere. [10]

The performance of "8", from their debut album Born to Win , included fan-held signs expressing support. They also performed a subdued version of "Born to Win" and an acoustic rendition of "Strings" from their Feel Good album. [10]

The highlight of the first night of the three-night event was the advance performance of their new single, "Cherry on Top", before its official release on July 11. The single was well-received by the sold-out audience at the New Frontier Theater. [11] Additionally, Bini presented a brief teaser of the "Cherry on Top" music video following their performance. [12] The concert concluded with "Da Coconut Nut", the group's pre-debut song, and "Pantropiko", the song that significantly contributed to their rise to fame. [9]

Nationwide tour

On July 5, the first leg of the Biniverse nationwide tour was held in Baguio, [13] followed by the second leg in Cebu City on July 14, [14] during which Colet added a rendition of Budots to her solo performance. [15] The third and final leg of the nationwide tour was held in General Santos on July 20. [16]

North American tour

On May 30, Star Music announced that the Biniverse concert will extend to Canada and the United States. [17] The Canadian leg of the tour began in Vancouver on August 9, [18] and was followed by Edmonton on August 10, [19] Winnipeg on August 16, [20] and Toronto on August 17. The dates for the USA leg are yet to be announced. [17] [21] [22] On July 23, Tala Entertainment, the manager of the Toronto concert, announced the transfer of the venue to the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa. The decision was made to accommodate more fans clamoring to watch the show. [23]

Unlike the domestic performances, there were no solo performances by the group's members in Canada. Instead, a sub-unit system was made, with Stacey and Mikha performing a rendition of "Snooze" by SZA, Jhoanna, Gwen, and Colet collectively singing "On the Wings of Love" by Jeffrey Osborne, and Maloi, Aiah, and Sheena collectively performing "Please Please Please" by Sabrina Carpenter. [18]

Araneta Coliseum

At the end of the last day of the New Frontier concert on June 30, 2024, Bini announced that they would have "The Grand Biniverse" concert on October 4 at the Araneta Coliseum. [24] Laurenti Dyogi, ABS-CBN's Head of Entertainment Production, said that the concert in Araneta is "something to look forward to", adding that it would be a different show from the previous Biniverse concerts. [25] On July 26, Star Magic announced that the concert would be moved to November 16 and 17 following concerns by fans over the group's schedules and health, which resulted in the hashtag #PostponeGrandBiniverse becoming viral on social media. [26] Tickets for the concert were made available to members of Bini's official website on August 30, 2024. Due to high demand, all tickets were sold out in less than three hours, leading to the cancellation of the planned general public sale initially scheduled for August 31. [27] However, a third day for the concert for November 18 was subsequently announced on August 31 due to public demand, [28] with tickets sold out within two hours of their release on September 1. [29]

On October 25, 2024, Bini announced that ₱1 million ( US$ 20,304.57) from the concert's ticket sales would be donated to ABS-CBN Foundation's Sagip Kapamilya program to support relief efforts for the victims of Severe Tropical Storm Kristine (Trami). [30]

On November 7, 2024, Bini announced the guest performers for their concert, which include Regine Velasquez, Vice Ganda, Gary Valenciano, Maymay Entrata, drag queens Precious Paula Nicole, Maxie Andreison, Eva Le Queen, Viñas DeLuxe, Popstar Bench, M1ss Jade So, Angel Galang, and Hana Beshie and the dance crew TPM. [31] In addition, instead of relying on electronic and synthetic music for intermissions, the concert's musical director, Rey Cantong, said that the concert will utilize live orchestral performed by Orchestra of the Filipino Youth (OFY). [32] On November 15, 2024, Star Music announced the rescheduling of the second day of the concert from November 17 to November 19, citing safety concerns due to the anticipated impact of Super Typhoon Pepito (Man-yi). They also stated that a portion of the concert's proceeds would be donated to the ABS-CBN Foundation to support relief efforts for those affected by the typhoon. [33]

Bini began their first-day concert with "Pantropiko", followed by performances of "No Fear", "I Feel Good", "Lagi", and "Ang Huling Cha Cha". Jhoanna and Maloi then took the stage as a duo to perform "Greedy" by Tate McRae and "When I Grow Up" by The Pussycat Dolls. This was followed by a group performance of "Strings". Guest performer Maymay Entrata then performed her songs "Puede Ba" and "Amakabogera". Afterward, Aiah and Stacey showcased DJ mixing skills before performing "Lose My Breath" by Destiny's Child, while Mikha and Gwen included stunts in their duo act. Bini's performance continued with "Diyan Ka Lang", featuring Gary Valenciano, with whom they also performed "Di Bale Na Lang". The group incorporated Filipino Sign Language (FSL) during their performance of "Kapit Lang" to promote inclusivity. They were joined by Regine Velasquez for a rendition of "Na Na Nandito Lang". Colet and Sheena concluded the duo acts with songs by Michael Jackson. The group continued with "Karera", parading around the venue, and later performed with guest drag queens, incorporating tossing stunts. Approaching the concert's finale, they celebrated the Christmas season with "Star ng Pasko", a holiday version of "Cherry on Top", and their rendition of "Joy to the World". They then performed "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi", changing costumes mid-performance, followed by "Salamin, Salamin". Bini concluded the concert with a final performance of "Na Na Na". [34]

Philippine Arena

At the end of the third day of the Grand Biniverse concert in Araneta Coliseum, Bini revealed that the Grand Biniverse will return in 2025, titled "Grand Biniverse: The Valentine Repeat", which is set to take place on February 15, 2025, at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan.
