Day 1 Sold Out in Hours
Tickets for the first concert date were completely sold out within just Seven hours, overwhelming ticketing systems and leaving thousands of fans without seats.In response to overwhelming demand and enthusiastic fan support on social media, the group and their management announced a second concert date, which was later confirmed to be sold out.

A Show for the Ages
The concert featured an electrifying setlist of songs. SB19 started the show with their lead single DAM as they removed their cloaks, and was dressed in DAM costumes, followed with a medley of their hard hitting song , “What,” Mana,” and “Gento”. and after continued with their new arrangements of “Moonlight” and “I Want You,” SB19 then changed costumes several times during the show and one of the notable costume changes was during their “Dungka” and “Bazinga” diss tracks where they donned pink and black colors. Bazinga was performed differently with the members switching lines which took Bazinga into a whole new level of awesomeness. Highlighting their unmatched versatility and unmatched energy as they performed their debut live performance of “8 TonBall” together with “CRIMZONE.” Wherein they did not just show they have massive stamina, but also swag and overflowing talents.
And after SB19 changed the tune with a medley of their ballads as they invited the audience to turn on their flashlights. Then went on to perform their tear inducing songs such as “Nyebe”, “Time” and “Quit,”. Josh then opened up about how his mom is watching and has been present on most of SB19’s concerts. Then pointed out (Voice cracking) that for the first time, he will be performing it with his dad present. MAPA was sung and everyone was emotional, both sad and happy at the same time as Josh sings his lines with raw emotions, They then sang “Freedom” while they were lifted up in the air and was thanking their fans with a touching rendition of their song “SLMT.”
As a representation of their EP and their world tour “Simula at Wakas” they ended the show the way it began: with the song “DAM.” Their lead single to close the concert. The biblical and iconic tree which was shown on their DAM MV showed up on stage glowing in gold, while a lone figure in cloak approach while the credits rolled.
