Biniverse: The First Solo Concert is the inaugural solo concert by the Filipino girl group Bini. The concert series was held over three days at the New Frontier Theater in Quezon City in June 2024. The concert tour will extend to Canada and the United States, with performances scheduled in various cities in Canada and dates for the US to be announced soon.

Background

On March 6, 2024, during their press conference for their extended play, Talaarawan, Bini announced their first solo concert titled "Biniverse", to be held at the New Frontier Theater.[1] Tickets went on sale on April 2 and sold out in less than two hours. As a result of this, fans asked for a second concert or a bigger venue,[2] specifically the neighboring Araneta Coliseum. This led to the #WeWantBINIverseInAraneta hashtag becoming a trend on X.[3] Due to public demand, Bini's music label Star Music announced a second day for the concert on April 4,[4] with the third day being announced later on April 8.[5] Ticket sales for the additional dates went live on April 9, which also sold out in less than two hours.[6]

On June 12, Star Music announced that the concert would make regional stops in July. On July 6, Bini will perform at the CAP-John Hay Trade and Cultural Center in Baguio, then on July 14, at the Waterfront Hotel in Cebu City, and on July 20, at the open grounds of the KCC Mall in General Santos.[7]

Performances

Bini started the concert with a medley of "Na Na Na", "Lagi", and "I Feel Good" lasting 17 minutes.[8][9] Each member had their solo performances. Mikha and Stacey were the first to perform their solo acts. Mikha played the electric guitar while singing Paramore's "That's What You Get", and then transitioned to Dua Lipa's "Don't Start Now". Stacey performed "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande. Following them, Aiah, Maloi, and Sheena presented their performances. Aiah showcased her abilities by dancing, singing, and rapping Doja Cat's "Woman", including a rap part in Bisaya. Maloi combined her love for painting with a performance of Up Dharma Down's "Oo". Sheena showed her skills as the group's main dancer with an energetic routine to Rihanna's "Pour It Up". The final solo performances were by Gwen, Colet, and Jhoanna. Gwen executed a chair dance to Little Mix's "Woman Like Me". Jhoanna performed Sarah Geronimo's "Isa Pang Araw", accompanied by a string quartet. Colet concluded the solo acts with a surprise performance of Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love", which elicited a particularly enthusiastic response on Day 1.[10][9] Bini's concert featured multiple wardrobe changes and interactive elements.[10]

Balloons were dropped primarily in the SVIP/VIP area during "Huwag Muna Tayo Umuwi", with Maloi prompting fans to pop them, revealing handwritten notes. "Pantropiko" featured large beach balls tossed into the audience, creating a festive atmosphere.[10]

The performance of "8", from their debut album Born to Win, included fan-held signs expressing support. They also performed a subdued version of "Born to Win" and an acoustic rendition of "Strings" from their Feel Good album. .[10]

Despite Gwen having a cold, she finished the show and received medical attention afterward.[10][11] The highlight of the first night of the three-night event was the advanced performance of their new single, "Cherry on Top", before its official release on July 11. The single was well-received by the sold-out audience at the New Frontier Theater. Additionally, Bini presented a brief teaser of the "Cherry on Top" music video following their performance.[12][13] The concert concluded with "Pantropiko", the song that significantly contributed to the group's rise to fame.[9]

Livestream

On June 18, the online streaming platform iWantTFC announced that the third day of the concert will be streamed on their platform.[14] This decision was made to accommodate the high demand and to reach Bini's international fanbase.[15]

Expansion to North America

On May 30, Star Music announced that the Biniverse concert will extend to Canada and the United States. The Canadian leg of the tour will begin in Vancouver on August 9, followed by Edmonton on August 10, Winnipeg on August 16, and Toronto on August 17. The dates for the USA leg are yet to be announced.[16][17][18]

Reception

The concert received positive reviews from both fans and critics, who praised the group's performance and stage presence.[19][20][21][22] On the last day of the concert, the team of New Frontier Theater gave Bini a Plaque of Recognition award for making history in the theater as the first Filipino girl group to hold three consecutive sold-out shows.[23]

The Grand Biniverse

At the end of the last day of the concert on June 30, 2024, Bini announced that they would have "The Grand Biniverse" concert on October 4 at the Araneta Coliseum.[23]
