On July 30, Los Angeles A’TIN showed up and showed out, as the street to The City National Grove of Anaheim was lined with fans waiting to see Pinoy boy group SB19. Since their debut, SB19 has continuously gained fans from all over the globe, and that was shown as the 1,700 seated venue hosted a sold-out show for the LA stop of their “PAGTATAG!” World Tour.
In 2016, during a talent search hosted by ShowBT Philippines, the members were selected as performers for company events; However, the CEO later decided to put the members through training to become what we now know as SB19. The five-member group, who made their debut on October 26, 2018, and consists of members Pablo, Josh, Stell, Ken, and Justin who each bring their unique personalities and styles to the group’s sound.
As A’TIN (the official fandom name— pronounced as 18 – which, in Tagalog, translates to “ours'') began to fill up the venue, the excitement began to grow as fans filled up the seats and got their lightsticks out ready for the show. As the lights dim, the fans scream in excitement. The screen presents a heart-racing intro growing the excitement and anticipation even stronger. Then suddenly the boys came out, starting the show off with fan-favorite and their most recent release title-track “GENTO,” followed by “Mana." Their energy is unmatched as they dance.
While SB19 knows how to throw a party, they also know how to slow it down with some heartfelt ballads. The boys lined up with the lights shining down on each of them gracefully as they sang their ballads “Tilaluha” and “Ilaw”. Stell belted out stunning high notes carrying so much emotion followed by the rest of the members' beautiful harmonies.
Halfway through the show, the fans were in for a treat as each of the members’ performed solo stages. Stell was the first to take the stage and began by singing a cover of “Defying Gravity” by Kristin Chenoweth & Idina Menzel and wowed his fans with his impressive vocal range. Up next was Josh who covered a remix of Get Right / Sofa (remix) / Wild Tonight. Josh swooned the crowd with his smooth dance moves and vocals. Following Josh was Ken, who brings the heat with his solo act, as Felip sang “Criminal” and “Straydogs.” Justin would then grace the stage as he performed a cover of One Direction’s “Little Things.” Ended the groups’ solo stages was, Pablo as he took the stage, strongly rapping “La Luna.”
As the members returned to the stage together, they continued to keep the venue filled with high-energy performances throughout the night. They performed more fan-favorites “I Want You,” “WYAT,” and a snippet of their viral cover of JVKE’s “golden hour.” As the night carried on with good vibes and fun, the boys finally begin to wrap up the show with their encore performance of their song “What?.” As confetti filled the air, fans were seen happily dancing and singing along with the members of SB19 before it was finally time for SB19 to say their goodbyes and thank their fans for “being there to support them through everything.”
