SB19 Brings ‘Simula at Wakas’ World Tour to Streaming Before Their Massive Finale Show

SB19 has released the live album of their Simula at Wakas: Kickoff Concert, now available across major streaming platforms, giving fans a front row return to one of the group’s most ambitious concert runs to date. The two-night show took place in May 2025 at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, capturing the opening chapter of their Simula at Wakas era in full performance form. According to ABS-CBN, the concert marked the launch of a world tour that later stretched across 19 cities, supporting the group’s third EP of the same name and closing out their trilogy that began with Pagsibol and continued through Pagtatag.

The Simula at Wakas project stands out for its heavy use of storytelling, centered on a tree of life motif that threads through the music, visuals, and stage production. Fans first saw parts of that world come alive through public activations in Bonifacio Global City back in April 2025, including largescale flash mobs, before the narrative fully unfolded onstage during the tour.Releasing the live album now allows listeners to revisit that chapter in full as the group prepares for their biggest moment yet. SB19 will cap off the trilogy with Wakas at Simula: The Trilogy Finale on April 18 at the SM Development Corporation (SMDC) Festival Grounds, positioning the live record as a bridge between the story’s opening and its final act.
