With tickets officially sold out, 'OPM Con Generations 2026' is set to bring together nine of the country's biggest music acts for one unforgettable night at the Araneta Coliseum.

A star-studded lineup featuring SB19, Ben&Ben, Alamat, Flow G, Skusta Clee, SunKissed Lola, G22, KAIA, and XONARA is set to dazzle the thousands of fans who secured tickets to the sold-out OPM Con Generations 2026. With globally recognized P-pop acts, celebrated bands, and hip-hop hitmakers sharing one stage, the Araneta Coliseum is primed for a full house on July 11.

“This year's lineup captures where OPM is today: diverse, evolving, and resonating with different generations of fans,” said Ivy Hayagan-Piedad, Senior Marketing Manager of Puregold Price Club Inc. “OPM Con Generations 2026 celebrates a craft we proudly call sariling atin, built by passionate artists and loyal fans. When more people discover and appreciate OPM, more artists are empowered to create, and our entire nation moves forward together. That's another side of what panalo means to us.”

Joining the powerhouse ensemble of OPM artists are Flow G, Skusta Clee, Sunkissed Lola, G22, KAIA, and XONARA.

The sold-out show comes as little surprise. This year's featured performers have collectively amassed billions of streams, earned prestigious awards, cultivated passionate fan communities, and brought OPM to audiences in the Philippines and around the world. Bringing together artists across generations and genres, OPM Con Generations 2026 celebrates the remarkable breadth and diversity of today's Filipino music scene.

Leading the lineup is SB19, the five-member P-pop powerhouse whose influence extends well beyond Philippine shores. The group made history as the first Southeast Asian act to receive a nomination at the Billboard Music Awards and has continued to expand its global reach with hits such as “GENTO,” “MAPA,” and “DAM.” Backed by its fiercely dedicated fandom, A'TIN, SB19 has become one of the driving forces behind the rise of modern Filipino pop.

Joining them is Ben&Ben, the acclaimed folk-pop band whose emotionally resonant songwriting has made it a mainstay on playlists for years. Songs such as “Kathang Isip,” “Leaves,” “Maybe the Night,” and “Araw-Araw” have become modern OPM staples, cementing the nine-piece collective's reputation as one of the country's most celebrated and widely streamed bands.

Representing another dimension of P-pop is Alamat, a group that has built its identity around Filipino culture. By incorporating local languages, indigenous influences, and regional traditions into its music, Alamat has carved out a distinct place in the genre while cultivating a devoted fandom known as Magiliw. Tracks such as “Maharani” and “Dagundong” showcase the group's unique approach to weaving the country's cultural diversity into contemporary pop.

No contemporary OPM celebration is complete without a strong hip-hop presence, and this year's OPM Con delivers exactly that through Flow G and Skusta Clee. Both artists first gained prominence as members of Ex Battalion before launching successful solo careers. Flow G has become one of the country's leading rap artists, earning major accolades including Wish Artist of the Year and Spotify KALYE Artist of the Year, while songs such as “Rapstar” and “Praning” have become fan favorites. Skusta Clee, meanwhile, has built a massive following through hits including “Zebbiana” and “Dance With You,” cementing his place as one of the most recognizable figures in the local urban music scene.

Bringing its signature blend of alternative pop-rock to the OPM Con Generations stage is SunKissed Lola. The band's breakout hit “Pasilyo” became one of the country's biggest OPM songs in recent years, while follow-up releases such as “Makalimutan Ka” and “White Toyota” further showcased its gift for heartfelt, relatable songwriting. SunKissed Lola's music has since become a staple for listeners looking for warm, easygoing OPM anthems.

Completing the lineup are three P-pop girl groups representing different stages of the genre's continuing evolution. G22, widely known as “P-pop's Female Alphas,” has earned acclaim for its commanding vocals and dynamic live performances. KAIA continues to build its reputation through polished performances and empowering releases that have steadily expanded its fanbase. Meanwhile, XONARA—the first girl group launched under 1Z Entertainment—makes one of its biggest appearances yet, offering concertgoers a glimpse of P-pop's next generation.

Each artist on this year's bill has followed a different path to success, yet all have earned a place on playlists, music charts, concert stages, and in the hearts of Filipino listeners. Together, they reflect the depth, diversity, and continued evolution of OPM, bringing generations of artists, fans, and musical styles together in one celebration. It is this unique mix that has made OPM Con Generations 2026 one of the year's most anticipated concerts.

With every seat spoken for, the countdown now turns to the performances themselves. On July 11, thousands of fans will fill the Araneta Coliseum for the rare opportunity to witness all nine acts share one stage in a single unforgettable evening.
