The universe is theirs and the grandeur puts on airs!

When BINI promised that the "Grand BINIverse" would be unlike anything their BLOOMs had seen before, they were not overstating their claim—they truly delivered!

The eight-piece powerhouse defied everyone’s expectations as they took their artistry to greater heights with their three-night sold-out run of their grand concert at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

Marking a glorious return after their successful “BINIverse” series earlier this year, the girls (Aiah, Colet, Gwen, Jhoanna, Maloi, Mikha, Stacey, and Sheena) have raised the bar for what a P-Pop concert can be, proving why they’re hailed as game-changers in the Philippine music scene.

BINI was even awarded as the First Filipino Girl Group to Stage 3 Outstanding Sold Out Center-Stage Shows (for Grand BINIverse). They received a plaque of recognition along with the Golden Dome award!

Here’s everything we loved about the Grand BINIverse!

A feast for the senses

True to its name, the "Grand BINIverse" kicked off with an explosion—and it wasn’t just heard, it was felt. On the center of the 360-degree LED stage sits a breathtaking flower prop that dramatically bloomed and unveiled the stars of the night, the Nation’s Girl Group. The crowd erupted in roars, echoing the girls’ opening chant of “B-I-N-I” as a prelude to their breakout hit, "Pantropiko," backed by a live band, an orchestra, and a marching band.

The artistic reinvention of the track that propelled BINI to stardom was a kaleidoscope of sound and visuals, capped off with an electrifying dance break that set the bar impossibly high for the rest of the night.

Crowd-pleasing hits revamped

After the monumental opening, BINI cranked the energy skyrocketing with fan-favorite euphoric beats of “No Fear” and “I Feel Good.” Their renditions of “Lagi” and “Ang Huling Cha Cha” got a spicy flip into sultry R&B ballads that left fans all swooning. Stripping back the bubblegum pop vibe, the new arrangement spotlighted the group’s impressive vocal prowess, sending chills down the spines.  

Talk about the hip-hop dance-off during “Strings?” Oh booyah, it’s a surefire! When their pop-house electronic bop “Karera” rolled around, the girls brought a sense of playful interactive touch toying with smoke confetti guns while roaming the Big Dome. Fans seated across all sections had the rare treat of seeing their idols up close, and the atmosphere was electrified with excitement.

Dynamic duos

Breaking away from the solo act rulebook, BINI shook things up by pairing members for jaw-dropping subunit performances that they creatively conceptualized on their own. Maloi and Jhoanna flaunted their sass and vocal chops with their covers of “Greedy” by Tate McRae and “When I Grow Up” by the Pussycat Dolls. Aiah and Stacey stunned the crowd with their DJ mixing skills and electrified the stage, channeling Destiny’s Child with “Lose My Breath.” Mikha and Gwen turned up the heat as they unleashed a lit dance-off to Camila Cabello’s “My Oh My” and Christopher’s “Bad.” Wrapping up the duo acts with a bang, Sheena and Colet paid homage to Michael Jackson with a medley that honored the King of Pop’s legacy.

Star-studded guest appearances

The Grand BINIverse upped the ante with equally grand collaborations on Day 1. Maymay Entrata brought her trademark charisma with performances of her hits, “Puede Ba” and “Amakabogera.” The excitement blew off the roof when Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano joined BINI onstage during “Diyan Ka Lang” and his chart-topping “Di Bale Na Lang.” His words of encouragement moved the girls to tears, reminding everyone of the emotional journey behind their success.

The night reached a fever pitch as Regine Velasquez graced the dome for a soulful duet of the group’s very own, “Na Na Nandito Lang.” As they bantered, Aiah’s playful quip about BINI’s twinning “vocals” with Asia’s Songbird had the crowd in stitches, sparking lighthearted fun to an otherwise ethereal moment.

Inclusivity was at the forefront during the “B HU U R” performance where BINI shared the spotlight with the drag queens Eva Le Queen, Hana Beshie, Maxie, Angel, Precious Paula Nicole, Viñas Deluxe, and Popstar Bench. The queens added a rainbow of glamor to the already vibrant stage, and their iconic “alarma” toss to the girls sent waves of giggles rippling through the audience.

The "Unkabogable Star" Vice Ganda shared the stage with the new OPM icons during Day 2 of the Grand BINIverse.

Advocacy meets artistry

Ever wonder how music can spark change? BINI used its platform to shine a light on meaningful causes. During their emotional performance of “Kapit Lang,” they included Filipino Sign Language (FSL) into the choreography—truly becoming a voice for the voiceless in support of the deaf community. A sentimental video preceded the act which illustrates how the group goes to amplify their efforts to stand as artists with a purpose.

Bringing in the holiday-themed segment

The spirit of giving was alive throughout their heartwarming singing of ABS-CBN’s station ID  “Star ng Pasko,” where children from the audience were brought onstage to receive gifts from the sponsors. This heartfelt number was followed by a holiday classic, “Joy to the World” along with the lighting of a Christmas tree. Ending the holiday cheer segment was their festive version of their latest single, “Cherry On Top” decked in a festal ensemble.

Signature humor and OG ships

Despite the grand scale of the event, BINI’s hallmark kanal humor was on full display—keeping fans rolling with laughter and proving just how down-to-earth and relatable they are! Whether it was the OA line’s hilarious struggle to maintain a “nonchalant” demeanor or the girls’ classic lutang moments, BINI’s authenticity reminded Blooms why they fell in love with them in the first place.

Jhoanna, ever the queen of comedic timing, stole the show when she accidentally missed her cue during “Salamin, Salamin,” leaving Stacey alone in a lift sequence. Of course, no BINI show would be complete without a little bardagulan between JhoCey.

Even their fan-favorite ships like MikhAiah, MaColet, and Hambebe also sailed strong during the encore. Blooms can’t help but revel in these sweet unscripted interactions which placed them in the trending list.

A finale worth remembering

BINI pulled out all the stops for the finale. Donning regal in flowing gowns, they performed "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" and then transitioned into "Salamin, Salamin," stunning the audience with mid-performance costume changes. The night ended on a high note with the girls suspended in the air, singing their bubblegum pop hit, “Na Na Na”—a nod to their roots and the BLOOMs who have been with them since the beginning.
