According to the registration site, the event comes after SB19’s recent appointment as the Philippines’ newest tourism ambassadors.
If you successfully secured a ticket after registering, here’s everything you need to keep in mind before heading to the Rizal Park Open-Air Auditorium.
What’s the schedule?
- 1:30–2:30 AM – Streaming Party (doors open at 1:30 a.m.)
- 2:30–4:00 AM – Pre-show Program
- 4:00–5:30 AM – Live Performance
- 5:30–6:00 AM – Closing Program
How can I get to the venue?
According to the event FAQs, attendees are strongly encouraged to take public transportation or ride-hailing services instead of driving private vehicles, as parking spaces near the venue will be reserved exclusively for organizers and event suppliers.
If you’re commuting, make sure to check which modes of transportation are available during those early morning hours. Stay safe and be mindful of your surroundings.
What should I bring?
Before heading to the event, fans are advised to eat a proper meal, bring any necessary medication, and carry a reusable water bottle, as the venue is a single-use plastic-free zone. Be sure to wear comfortable clothing and footwear as well.
A small bag with your essentials should be enough. Attendees are also encouraged to bring a handheld or portable fan since the venue is open-air, as well as an umbrella in case it rains before, during, or after the event. Although the auditorium is covered, the entrance and exit pathways are not and may become slippery when wet.
If you love capturing memories, you’re welcome to bring a camera. However, taking photos or videos of the livestream on the screen is prohibited. Tripods and selfie sticks are also not allowed inside the venue.
I didn’t reserve a free ticket. Can I still attend?
Although the watch party is free, only fans who successfully reserved a ticket through the registration page will be allowed to enter the venue.
Those with confirmed reservations should also note that their QR codes are non-transferable.
I can’t attend DOT’s watch party. Will I still be able to watch SB19’s Lollapalooza performance?
Definitely! If you weren’t able to secure a ticket, you can still watch SB19’s performance at home by tuning in to Disney+’s official livestream.
It begins on July 31 at 3:45 AM, and there will be no replays, so don’t miss it.
