MANILA, Philippines – SB19 marks another milestone in its career as the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival confirmed on Wednesday, November 11 (Manila time), that the P-pop boy group is on the lineup of its 2027 edition.
“From the very beginning, we’ve always dreamed of bringing Filipino music to places we once only imagined. To now have that dream become a reality, with A’TIN beside us every step of the way, is something we’ll never take for granted,” the group’s leader Pablo said about their inclusion in the upcoming festival, according to a press release.
“This one’s for everyone who believed in us from day one. Abangan kung ano ang pwedeng gawin ng SB dito (Watch out for what SB can do here)!”

Pablo, Stell, Justin, Ken, and Josh will be performing at Coachella on April 10 and 17, 2027. Other big names like Tame Impala, Phoebe Bridgers, and NCT will also be performing on the same dates.
Meanwhile, Filipino-American artist Steve Lacy, who earlier made his Manila debut at the LaLaLa Fest in August, is scheduled to take the stage on April 9 and 16.
“We hope this inspires the current and future generation of Filipino artists. Whether you’re part of a P-pop group or pursuing music and other creative fields, we want everyone to know that these opportunities are possible. We’re doing this to help pave the way for more Filipino talent to be represented on the global stage. And we truly believe this is only the beginning,” SB19’s Josh added.
In July, SB19 became the first all-Filipino group to perform at Lollapalooza, another major global music festival held annually in Chicago, Illinois. In the same month, the “GENTO” hitmakers were also named one of the Philippines’ official tourism ambassadors alongside P-pop girl group BINI.
In April this year, eight-member P-pop girl group BINI became the first homegrown Filipino act to appear at Coachella.
SB19’s inclusion in the 2027 Coachella lineup also comes after the “Kings of P-pop” wrapped up the sold-out “Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Concert Finale at the SMDC Festival Grounds” in April. – Rappler.com
