DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — The iconic Filipino dance-pop group SexBomb Girls is set to make history with their first solo concert at the Dubai World Trade Centre on August 9, 2026. The “Get, Get, Aw!” show marks a milestone for Filipino entertainment in the UAE, with early ticket tiers already sold out and Wave 1 now open.
A Legendary Group Returns
For millions of Filipinos who grew up in the early 2000s, the SexBomb Girls defined an era of energetic television, catchy novelty hits, and synchronized dance routines. Songs like “The Spageti Song,” “Bakit Papa?,” and “Di Ko Na Mapipigilan” remain cultural touchstones. The group’s signature chant, “Get, Get, Aw!,” still echoes in Filipino gatherings worldwide.
This concert marks the group’s first major performance in over two decades, reuniting original members including Rochelle Pangilinan, Jopay Paguia, Aira Bermudez, Sunshine Garcia, Che‑Che Tolentino, Mia Pangyarihan, and Weng Ibarra. The reunion tour has already drawn over 62,000 attendees across multiple sold‑out arena shows in Manila, proving that nostalgia and high‑energy performance still capture hearts.
Historic Venue Choice
The Dubai World Trade Centre will host the SexBomb Girls, a venue traditionally reserved for global business conferences and international headliners. The choice signals the growing economic and cultural influence of the Filipino diaspora in the Middle East. Promoters have described the concert as a homecoming for OFWs who have kept the group’s music alive through karaoke and community events.
The Dubai concert is the second leg of a UAE double‑header, following an August 8 show at Etihad Arena on Yas Island, Abu Dhabi. The back‑to‑back schedule reflects strong demand across the Emirates. Originally planned for March 2026, the Middle East leg was rescheduled due to regional tensions, and the August dates now serve as a major highlight of the group’s world tour.
Ticket Tiers and Urgent Demand
Ticket sales have been brisk. Pre‑Sale and Early Bird tiers sold out quickly, prompting the opening of Wave 1 tickets. General Admission starts at AED 299, while Golden Circle costs AED 499, and VIP access is priced at AED 899. The prominent yellow arrow on the poster urges fans to buy now before prices rise again with Wave 2.
All tickets are digital‑only through accesspass.ae and Q‑Tickets, and must be downloaded to mobile devices. Standing sections require attendees to be aged 12 and above, accompanied by an adult. In keeping with UAE cultural norms, no country flags or external banners are permitted inside the venue, and bags must not exceed 30x30x15 centimet
ers.
A Night for the Filipino Community
For the estimated 700,000 Filipinos living and working in the UAE, the concert offers a rare taste of home. It promises an evening of collective singing, dancing, and shared nostalgia, bridging the distance between overseas life and cherished memories. The performance is expected to draw attendees from across the Gulf region.
The event also underscores the resilience of Filipino artists in the global entertainment market. The SexBomb Girls’ return to the stage, after years of pursuing individual careers, demonstrates that their appeal transcends generational shifts. For OFWs, the concert is both a celebration of their own perseverance and a joyful connection to their roots.
