5 tips to make most of OPM Con Generations featuring SB19, Ben&Ben
MANILA, Philippines — The countdown is on for Puregold OPM Con Generations 2026, as thousands of fans prepare to flock to the Smart Araneta Coliseum on July 11 for one of the year's biggest celebrations of Original Pilipino Music (OPM).
Featuring a powerhouse lineup of SB19, Ben&Ben, Alamat, Flow G, Skusta Clee, SunKissed Lola, G22, KAIA and XONARA, this year's sold-out concert promises an unforgettable night of music, energy and fandom.
If you're among the lucky ticket holders, here are five tips to help you maximize your concert experience.
Stay hydrated and eat before the show
Concerts can last for several hours, especially with a lineup packed with back-to-back performances. Be sure to drink plenty of water and have a full meal before heading to the venue.
Keep in mind that food, drinks, and reusable tumblers will not be allowed inside the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
Arrive early and explore the fan activities
Expect long queues for security screening and venue entry. Arriving at least two to three hours before showtime gives you enough time to settle in and enjoy the activities outside the concert hall.
Don't miss the Negosyo Fan Zone on the second floor of Puregold Cubao, where local entrepreneurs will offer handmade and customized fan merchandise. Visitors can also join interactive activities designed to celebrate OPM and support their favorite artists. The fan zone is open even to those without concert tickets.
Dress comfortably for a night of music
You'll likely spend hours singing, dancing, and cheering, so choose comfort over style alone.
Wear breathable clothing, comfortable sneakers, and avoid carrying bulky accessories so you can fully enjoy the concert from start to finish.
Bring only the essentials
Pack light to make security checks faster and your concert experience more convenient.
Make sure you have your concert ticket, valid ID, mobile phone, wallet and fully charged power bank.
Before leaving home, review the event's prohibited-items list to avoid delays at the entrance.
Live the moment — not just through your phone
It's natural to take photos and record your favorite performances, but don't forget to experience the concert firsthand.
OPM Con Generations was created to bring together different generations of Filipino music fans under one roof. Some of the night's most memorable moments will come from singing along with thousands of fellow concertgoers, discovering new artists, and witnessing unique performances that can only happen when some of the country's biggest OPM acts share one stage.
With a sold-out crowd, an all-star lineup, and immersive fan experiences, OPM Con Generations 2026 is shaping up to be more than just a concert — it's a celebration of Filipino music, artistry, and the fans who continue to keep OPM thriving.
