The SexBomb Girls were formed in 1999, originally as a dance troupe appearing on the popular noontime variety show Eat Bulaga!. [12] Over the early 2000s, they transitioned into recording artists and television stars, releasing novelty hits like The Spageti Song, Bakit Papa? and Halukay Ube , and headlining the afternoon drama series Daisy Siete, which ran from 2003 to 2010 for 26 seasons. [12] [13] With their catchy songs, distinctive dance choreography, and television presence, they became one of the most visible pop/dance acts in the Philippines in the 2000s, and remain a significant part of Filipino pop culture nostalgia. [14] According to Philippine Association of the Record Industry, SexBomb Girls is the best selling girl group of the 2000s in the Philippines by selling over 12 million records (4 studio albums, 4 compilation albums and Christmas singles). [15]
According to statements made by Rochelle Pangilinan in post-concert interviews, the production of "Get, Get, Aw!: The SexBomb Concert" initially faced financial and logistical challenges. [16] Pangilinan said that she had approached multiple concert producers to stage the reunion, but none agreed to take on the project. [17] [18] Five members of the group contributed their own funds to independently finance the concert, with the help of NY Entourage Productions. [16] The 2025 concert series was produced by NY Entourage Productions and directed by John Prats. [19] [20] The 2026 concert series was directed by Paolo Valenciano and Nico Faustino and featured a 360-degree stage design utilizing the full capacity of the arena. [21] [22] [7] During video interludes, members expressed that rehearsals were filled with emotion and excitement, reflecting how meaningful the event was for them personally as much as for their fans. [23]
On September 14, 2025, a teaser video was posted on social media by members of the group, announcing a reunion concert slated for December 4, 2025, at the Smart Araneta Coliseum. [24] The post was accompanied by the caption "Para sa mga pinalaki ng SexBomb!" (transl. For those who grew up with SexBomb). [25] [13] According to the interview of group leader Rochelle Pangilinan with entertainment host Boy Abunda, the concert was being conceptualized for a long time but due to scheduling challenges, it was never materialized. Promotional teasers showcased members performing signature dance moves, invoking nostalgia among longtime fans. [26] [27]

The reunion concert featured a wide roster of original and former members of the SexBomb Girls, bringing together performers from both the SexBomb Singers and SexBomb Dancers. Press coverage noted the participation of founding member Rochelle Pangilinan, along with longtime performers Jopay Paguia, Aira Bermudez, Che-Che Tolentino, Mia Pangyarihan, Sunshine Garcia, and Weng Ibarra, among others. [36] The concert's setlist drew heavily from the group's early-2000s catalogue, including performances of their most iconic hits such as "Di Ko Na Mapipigilan," "Bakit Papa?," and "The Spageti Song." [37] [36]
DZRH highlighted the precision and synchronicity displayed in the ensemble numbers, despite years away from large-scale touring. [38] Some segments of the show were presented as throwbacks, incorporating recreated costumes, early-2000s styling, and large-screen backdrops displaying archival footage of the group's performances from Eat Bulaga! and Daisy Siete. [39] [18]
The concert also included collaborative performances, such as appearances by the EB Babes and the comedy-dance troupe SexBalls, in addition to guest performances from artists associated with the SexBomb era. [40] [37]
The concert was widely framed as both a commercial success and a cultural moment. [12] [7] It highlights the continuing influence of the SexBomb Girls' legacy on contemporary Filipino popular music, especially in the context of renewed interest in nostalgia-driven concerts and throwback events. Rolling Stones Philippines cited "The Spageti Song", alongside "Bakit Papa?" and "Di Ko Na Mapipigilan", as among the SexBomb Girls' recordings that became closely associated with Filipino pop culture in the early 2000s. [18] The publication noted that references to the group have continued to appear in Philippine music, television, and film, and discussed how the group's popularity contributed to the visibility of dance-oriented female pop acts in the local music industry. [7] [41]
In interviews following the announcement of additional reunion shows in early 2026, SexBomb Girls leader Pangilinan discussed how the group was focusing first on completing their scheduled concert series, noting that plans of upcoming world tour were still being developed and not yet finalized. [42] [42]

[46] [47] [48] The reunion concert is also set for two shows in Australia, in Sydney and Melbourne particularly. [49] [50]
In December 2025, Evette teased a Canadian tour through social media site. [51] In January 2026, Kolorete Canada — a brand that sponsor concerts posted a video on social media referencing planned concert dates in multiple Canadian cities, including Saskatoon, Edmonton, Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Winnipeg, for summer 2026. [52] Although formal tour dates had not yet been confirmed by the group's official channels. [52]
