BGYO makes impressive strides in global music scene

September 22 ------ P-pop group BGYO continues to make headway in the global music scene as the only Filipino performer at the recent Summer Sonic Bangkok 2025. The Filipino male group was thrilled to represent the Philippines at Japan's biggest music festival, held at IMPACT Challenger Hall in Bangkok, Thailand, on Aug. 23-24.

The festival featured global acts Alicia Keys, Camila Cabello, Black Eyed Peas, BABYMETAL, and more.

They also sang their Filipino songs “Andito Lang” and “Gigil.”

The Summer Sonic gig was BGYO’s second visit to Thailand this year, following the group’s guest appearance at Boss CKM’s “Dream Warrior Concert” in July, where they performed “Heartstrings” and “All These Ladies.” "Sobrang grateful namin to be given an opportunity to perform at Summer Sonic Bangkok. We were also given the chance to collaborate with other artists there. We were also thrilled to meet our celebrities like Alicia Keys, Camila Cabello, and Black Eyed Peas. While watching meron kaming natutunan na pwede namin dalhin sa future shows namin. (We are so grateful to be given an opportunity to perform at Summer Sonic Bangkok.
