The Simula at Wakas World Tour is the ongoing third world tour headlined by the Filipino boy band SB19, launched to support their third extended play (EP), Simula at Wakas (2025). The tour comprises 23 shows that commenced on May 31, 2025, at the Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan, with stops in major cities in the United States, including San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Honolulu, and in international cities, including Toronto in Canada, Singapore and Hong Kong. Additional tour dates have yet to be announced. [1]

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

In preparation for the expected high traffic volume the kickoff 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. [10]

Guest performers

On August 24, 2025, during SB19's Singapore show, Singaporean singer-songwriter Benjamin Kheng joined the boy band on stage for a performance of "I Want You". The group was later joined by Aruma for a Bahasa Indonesia cover of "Mapa". [11]
