Celebrities, global A’TIN flock to SB19’s ‘Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Finale’

SB19 and Live Nation Philippines have yet to release the official number of fans who watched the "Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Finale" concert on Sunday, but it is looking to be one of the most-attended shows of a Filipino act ever.

Overseas Filipinos and international fans alike traveled to the Philippines to see SB19 close out their "Ikalawang Yugto," and the community of A’TIN were not content to simply show up for the P-pop Kings.

Fans organized several projects to express their gratitude and appreciation for Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin. Concertgoers were treated to a drone light spectacle after the show, and the sea of fans lit up in color with galaxy roses while SB19 sang “Wakas.” Confetti became instant memorabilia items with messages printed on each piece of paper.

At the Fan Zone, dedicated fans manned booths and handed out free items they made themselves. International fans flew in carrying freebies in their luggage, a labor of love for their fellow A’TIN. Air-conditioned lounge tents were erected for parents and senior citizens. A marching band performed to add to the festive atmosphere.

Indeed, SB19 brings out the best in their fans. A’TIN of all ages walked in droves along the Aseana Avenue on their way to the concert, like pilgrims willing to put up with small sacrifices to show their devotion. At the end of the show, fans cleaned up after themselves and left the grounds without litter. SB19 stopped at nothing to take care of their fans, and fans returned that energy in kind.

Even celebrities and personalities, both local and international, showed up to experience for themselves the magic of SB19 and the infectious community spirit of A’TIN. Here are some of the familiar names who attended the concert at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City.
