Biniverse World Tour 2025 (stylized as BINIverse World Tour 2025) is the second concert tour by Filipino girl group Bini. The tour began on February 15, 2025, at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan. The shows spanned multiple cities, including Dubai, London, key cities in the United States, Vancouver in Canada. The tour concluded on June 21, 2025.

The show at the Philippine Arena made Bini the first Filipino act to hold a sold-out concert in the arena. The Philippine show also saw the first live performance of the group's single, "Blink Twice".

Background

[edit]

On June 30, 2024, at the end of their three-night show at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City for the Biniverse tour, Bini announced that they would hold Grand Biniverse at the Araneta Coliseum in October 2024.[1] The concert was later moved to November 16 and 17 following concerns to the group's health by fans.[2] A third day was announced following immediate sold-out of the first and second day of the concert. Tickets for the third date were also immediately sold-out.[3] On November 15, ABS-CBN announced that the second day, which was scheduled on November 17, would be moved to November 19 following safety concerns due to Super Typhoon Pepito (Man-yi).[4]

At the end of the third day of the Grand Biniverse concert, Bini announced that they would hold another concert titled "Grand Biniverse: The Valentine Repeat" on February 15, 2025, at the Philippine Arena in Santa Maria, Bulacan. The concert made the group the first Filipino act to host a solo concert at the Philippine Arena.[5] On December 19, 2024, the group announced that the Philippine Arena concert would be the first show of their then-upcoming world tour, titled "Biniverse World Tour 2025". The tour would span several cities, including Dubai, London, and key cities in the United States, with additional cities yet to be announced.[6] At the end of the tour, a homecoming fan meet by the group was held on June 29, 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay.[7]

While the North American leg of the tour was underway, Bini released a single titled "Shagidi" on June 5, which was inspired by a traditional Filipino children’s game.[8]

Ticket sales

[edit]

Ticket sales for the tour will be managed by various ticketing agencies depending on the region. In the Philippines, Pulp Tickets and TicketNet handled ticket sales.[9] The presale of tickets for Bini's website exclusive members[a] started on December 27, 2024, while sales for the general public began on December 28. Ticket prices ranged from ₱1,800 to ₱11,800.[10] The presale tickets immediately sold-out on the same day they were released.[11] The remaining tickets were sold-out hours before the concert began, making Bini the first Filipino act to hold a sold-out solo concert at the Philippine Arena, which has a capacity of 55,000 seats.[12]

Tickets for the Dubai show went on presale on February 19, 2025, followed by the general public sale on February 21.[13] Ticket prices ranged from DH 445 to DH 690. The show was organized by All Things Live Middle East[b] and supported by Dubai Calendar[c].[16]

For the London and North American shows, Ticketmaster handled ticket sales. The London presale began on February 18, followed by the general public sale on February 21. Additionally, tickets were made available through the O2 Priority mobile app on February 19.[17]

Guest performers

Concert synopsis

[edit]

Philippine Arena

[edit]

The Philippine Arena concert saw Bini open the act with a rendition of "Salamin, Salamin" arranged by the Orchestra of the Filipino Youth. Their rendition of "I Feel Good" saw the group's members travel on carts to interact with audiences throughout the arena. Throughout the concert, Bini's member performed a series of duo performances.[20] The group also performed their single, "Blink Twice", in public for the first time since it was released two days prior on February 13,[24] as well as "Kinikilig" and "Golden Arrow", two singles from their first album, Born to Win, that were utilized in a live performance for the first time.[20] They also performed a ballad version of "Lagi" and an R&B version of "Ang Huling Cha Cha".[25] For their rendition of "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi", the group members separately proceeded to the upper floors of the arena and interacted with the audience.[26] The group also announced the release of an upcoming extended play (EP), titled Biniverse, on February 27.[24] Throughout the concert, Bini underwent multiple wardrobe changes featuring designs by Raf Villas, Marian Zara, Inigo Villegas, Namilia, and Anthony Ramirez.[27]

The group was also officially recognized during the program by Billboard Philippines as the country's No. 1 Top Artist of 2024, No. 1 Artist for the Hot 100, and Philippines' Top Songs.[28] They also received their trophy from the MTV European Music Awards for Best Asia Act.[26] The concert also saw Bini being unveiled as the newest endorsers of a chocolate drink brand.[29]

Dubai

[edit]

On May 16, 2025, Bini arrived in Dubai for the first stop of the international leg of the Biniverse World Tour.[30] On the eve of the concert, they received a certificate of commendation in recognition of their exemplary awards and invaluable contributions to the promotion of Filipino pop culture from the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.[31]

The Dubai concert proceeded as scheduled at the Coca-Cola Arena on May 18 with more than 10,000 in attendance.[32] During the second set, Aiah experienced severe cramps and was taken offstage in a wheelchair before later returning to perform, albeit seated. Apart from their discography, Maloi and Stacey performed several dances that went viral on TikTok, including "Like Jennie".[33] A teaser was also released for a new documentary about Bini.[34] Aiah eventually recovered to perform "Pantropiko" while standing up. The concert was generally praised by fans, although criticism was leveled at the absence of LED jumbotrons or side monitors at the venue that prevented many onlookers from seeing the performances clearly.[32]

London

[edit]

Biniverse in London took place at the Wembley Arena on May 25. Speakers inside the venue played songs by Maki, Maymay Entrata, and BGYO prior to Filipino-British singer Clarissa Mae's opening act. She performed an acoustic cover of "American Boy" by Estelle, as well as her unreleased song.[21]

Following Mae's performances, an orchestral medley of Bini songs, including "Diyan Ka Lang" (transl. Just Stay There), played as the members appeared with the word "London" behind them in big, glowing letters. Bini sang bits of "Lagi" (transl. Always), "Pantropiko", "Na Na Na", and "Salamin, Salamin" (transl. Mirror, Mirror), pointing their microphones towards the audience so they would sing the lyrics back. The latter song became their first full number that night.[21]

The Bini members performed "No Fear", "I Feel Good", "Born to Win", "Karera" (transl. Race), and "Strings" next. They then performed "Lagi" in its original vocal arrangement. A Positively Filipino article named Colet's final chorus to be the song and concert's "highlight of all highlights", observing that though the notes were even higher than Maloi and Jhoanna's bridge and she continued to dance, Colet's belts "remained stunningly full and clear".[21]

The group then performed "Diyan Ka Lang", "Blink Twice", "Cherry on Top", "Zero Pressure", the Biniverse arrangement of "Na Na Nandito Lang" (transl. Just Here), "Here With You", and "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" (transl. Let's Not Go Home Yet). They dedicated the ballads to the homesick Filipinos in the UK. Their encore songs were "Na Na Na" and "Pantropiko".[21]

San Francisco

[edit]

The San Francisco leg took place on June 17, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Ashley Mehta, an American singer of Filipino and Indian descent, opened the show. Bini's first number was "Salamin, Salamin". "I Feel Good", "Lagi", "Blink Twice", "Na Na Nandito Lang", and "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" were among some of the other songs on the set list. The group closed the show with "Pantropiko".[23]

Homecoming

[edit]

At the homecoming event on June 29, titled the "Here With You" Homecoming Fan Meet, Bini conducted their first performances of the tracks "Out of My Head", "Shagidi" and "Zero Pressure". They also publicly donated ₱362,000 raised from sales of their merchandise in charity to the ABS-CBN Foundation and launched their eponymous cosmetics brand.[35] A competition was also held among the individual members' official fan clubs for the best fan booth at the event.[36]
