Background and development

Following the conclusion of the successful Pagtatag! World Tour, SB19 released their first full-length documentary film, Pagtatag! The Documentary , in theaters. [2] During the film’s premiere night, the band's leader, Pablo, revealed that the group was working on Simula at Wakas. [3]

On January 31, 2025, SB19 released an official trailer across their social media platforms, unveiling Simula at Wakas as the title of their third EP. [4] The trailer also revealed key dates, including the EP’s release, the launch of its lead single, and the kickoff of an accompanying world tour to promote the project. [5]

The world tour consisted of 19 shows, commencing with the kickoff show at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan, on May 31. Other shows include key cities in the United States, Toronto in Canada, Taiwan, and Singapore. [6]

Ticket sales

SM Tickets handled the ticket sales for the kickoff shows in the Philippines, with ticket prices ranging from 1,000 to 15,000. [1] The first show quickly sold out within just a few hours of ticket release, making SB19 the first Filipino act to sell out the Philippine Arena in a day. [7] Due to unprecedented demand, a second day has been announced for the show on June 1, 2025. Ticket sales for the second date began on April 15. [8]

For the North American shows, ticket sales were managed by Ticketmaster. Sales began on March 19, with the San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Toronto dates selling out immediately. [9]

Transportation

To accommodate fans attending the kickoff of the tour at the Philippine Arena, a round-trip shuttle bus service was announced by Live Nation Philippines, with major pickup points located at SM Mall of Asia and Vertis North. The service aimed to provide accessible transportation options for concertgoers traveling from different parts of Metro Manila and nearby provinces. [10]

In preparation for the expected high traffic volume the concert may cause, the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX) issued a traffic advisory for May 31 and June 1. Attendees were encouraged to take the NLEX Ciudad de Victoria exit, while those headed to Bocaue or Santa Maria were urged to use alternate routes via exits in Marilao, Bocaue, or Tambubong. [11]
