Manila’s P-pop octet brings glossy dance-pop and tight choreography
Coachella’s Artist of the Day spotlight lands on BINI, the Manila-born P-pop octet that’s been turning local chart success into global buzz. Formed through Star Hunt Academy’s intensive talent search and training system, the group pairs high-energy dance-pop production with precision choreography and a clear message of female empowerment.
BINI blends EDM, R&B and hip-hop hooks with melodies grounded in Filipino songcraft. The eight members—Aiah, Colet, Maloi, Gwen, Stacey, Mikha, Sheena and Jhoanna—launched in 2020 and have steadily built momentum, moving from a reimagined electropop take on a Filipino classic to modern disco and teen-pop anthems that have resonated across the Philippines and beyond.
They’ve hit major milestones at home: tracks like “Pantropiko” and the disco-tinged “Salamin, Salamin” climbed Billboard’s Philippines Songs chart, proving the act can compete with international releases on its home turf. International outlets and fashion-forward publications have since spotlighted BINI’s upbeat, polish-forward approach.

Expect an all-in visual and sonic show — choreography-forward staging, big hooks, and bright, kinetic production. If you follow SB19, Maki or James Reid, BINI sits comfortably in that same pop-forward lane while carrying a distinct Filipino pop identity.
They’re scheduled to perform on Friday — a perfect slot for those chasing new, hyped-up pop energy at the festival. For fans and first-timers alike, BINI’s set is shaping up to be one of Coachella’s most colorful, tightly produced pop showcases this year.
Quick take: BINI is more than a viral moment — they’re a well-crafted pop act built for the festival stage. If you want a high-energy, choreography-heavy pop set with bright production and unapologetic confidence, don’t miss them Friday.
