“The Nation’s Girl Group,” indeed.
On Tuesday, April 9, the general sale of tickets for the second and the newly-added third day of Filipina pop group BINI’s first-ever solo concert ‘BINIverse’ began at 3:00 pm (Manila time).
In similar fashion to the sale of Day 1 passes, fans immediately flocked to ticketing outlets and on the website for a chance to watch BINI live on June 29 and 30, 2024.
Due to which, in less than one-and-half hour, all tickets in all tiers have been declared “officially sold out” by organizer ABS-CBN Events.
Originally scheduled to happen only on June 28, 2024 at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City, two more nights were added to ‘BINIverse’ due to high demand amidst the group’s skyrocketing popularity.
BINI debuted in June 2021 and is composed of 8 members, namely Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Jhoanna, and Sheena.
Recently, the group reached a new milestone after becoming the most-listened P-pop act in the music streaming platform Spotify.
They have also surpassed Ben&Ben as the highest-charting Filipino music act on the said platform.
The sharp increase in the girl group’s listenership comes amidst the sensation caused by their song ‘Pantropiko,’ which also became a viral dance challenge on TikTok.
Last March 8, in time for the International Women’s Day, BINI dropped their first-ever extended play ‘Talaarawan,’ which includes the above-mentioned viral song, as well as five other tracks like ‘Salamin, Salamin,’ and ‘Karera,’ among others.
Together with fellow P-pop act G22, the girl group is representing the Philippines in Chinese music competition program ‘Show It All,’ which will begin airing this month.
