But I think we&#x27;re more focused now sa upcoming concert namin on the 18th. Kasi we want to focus there muna. Kasi ito yung pinakamalaki by far,” Stell shared.</p><p>He went on to share how massive and intense their upcoming <em>Wakas at Simula</em> concert is turning out to be.</p><p>“Super challenging for us na production ng concert, scale ng tao, even guests namin, international acts. So we want to focus dun muna para maging successful, na yun naman talaga yung goal is to make it a big scale and talagang pasabog. Doon namin siya gustong ibigay para matapos na yung story namin noong nag-kick-off kami,” he revealed.</p><p>Even so, Stell assured supporters and the whole Filipino community that they will make the country proud at Lollapalooza.</p><p>“Yung pasilip, wala pa talaga—unless iba yung gusto n’yong performance na masilip,” he joked. “But yeah, Looking forward kami sa mapapakita namin and we will make sure na maging proud ang lahat and masasabi niyong deserve kami doon sa stage na yun,”</p><p>He also added that they are keen to see and meet other popular acts.</p><p>“Actually, kung may gusto kaming ma-meet na foreign act, si Pablo daw,” Stell teased. “Pero honestly, lahat nilu-look forward namin.
