Philippine Arena

The Philippine Arena concert saw Bini open the act with a rendition of "Salamin, Salamin" arranged by the Orchestra of the Filipino Youth. Their rendition of "I Feel Good" saw the group's members travel on carts to interact with audiences throughout the arena. Throughout the concert, Bini's member performed a series of duo performances.[20] The group also performed their single, "Blink Twice", in public for the first time since it was released two days prior on February 13,[24] as well as "Kinikilig" and "Golden Arrow", two singles from their first album, Born to Win, that were utilized in a live performance for the first time.[20] They also performed a ballad version of "Lagi" and an R&B version of "Ang Huling Cha Cha".[25] For their rendition of "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi", the group members separately proceeded to the upper floors of the arena and interacted with the audience.[26] The group also announced the release of an upcoming extended play (EP), titled Biniverse, on February 27.[24] Throughout the concert, Bini underwent multiple wardrobe changes featuring designs by Raf Villas, Marian Zara, Inigo Villegas, Namilia, and Anthony Ramirez.[27]

The group was also officially recognized during the program by Billboard Philippines as the country's No. 1 Top Artist of 2024, No. 1 Artist for the Hot 100, and Philippines' Top Songs.[28] They also received their trophy from the MTV European Music Awards for Best Asia Act.[26] The concert also saw Bini being unveiled as the newest endorsers of a chocolate drink brand.[29]

Dubai

On May 16, 2025, Bini arrived in Dubai for the first stop of the international leg of the Biniverse World Tour.[30] On the eve of the concert, they received a certificate of commendation in recognition of their exemplary awards and invaluable contributions to the promotion of Filipino pop culture from the Philippine Consulate General in Dubai.[31]

The Dubai concert proceeded as scheduled at the Coca-Cola Arena on May 18 with more than 10,000 in attendance.[32] During the second set, Aiah experienced severe cramps and was taken offstage in a wheelchair before later returning to perform, albeit seated. Apart from their discography, Maloi and Stacey performed several dances that went viral on TikTok, including "Like Jennie".[33] A teaser was also released for a new documentary about Bini.[34] Aiah eventually recovered to perform "Pantropiko" while standing up. The concert was generally praised by fans, although criticism was leveled at the absence of LED jumbotrons or side monitors at the venue that prevented many onlookers from seeing the performances clearly.[32]

London

Biniverse in London took place at the Wembley Arena on May 25. Speakers inside the venue played songs by Maki, Maymay Entrata, and BGYO prior to Filipino-British singer Clarissa Mae's opening act. She performed an acoustic cover of "American Boy" by Estelle, as well as her unreleased song.[21]

Following Mae's performances, an orchestral medley of Bini songs, including "Diyan Ka Lang" (transl.Just Stay There), played as the members appeared with the word "London" behind them in big, glowing letters. Bini sang bits of "Lagi" (transl.Always), "Pantropiko", "Na Na Na", and "Salamin, Salamin" (transl.Mirror, Mirror), pointing their microphones towards the audience so they would sing the lyrics back. The latter song became their first full number that night.[21]

The Bini members performed "No Fear", "I Feel Good", "Born to Win", "Karera" (transl.Race), and "Strings" next. They then performed "Lagi" in its original vocal arrangement. A Positively Filipino article named Colet's final chorus to be the song and concert's "highlight of all highlights", observing that though the notes were even higher than Maloi and Jhoanna's bridge and she continued to dance, Colet's belts "remained stunningly full and clear".[21]

The group then performed "Diyan Ka Lang", "Blink Twice", "Cherry on Top", "Zero Pressure", the Biniverse arrangement of "Na Na Nandito Lang" (transl.Just Here), "Here With You", and "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" (transl.Let's Not Go Home Yet). They dedicated the ballads to the homesick Filipinos in the UK. Their encore songs were "Na Na Na" and "Pantropiko".[21]

San Francisco

The San Francisco leg took place on June 17, at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium. Ashley Mehta, an American singer of Filipino and Indian descent, opened the show. Bini's first number was "Salamin, Salamin". "I Feel Good", "Lagi", "Blink Twice", "Na Na Nandito Lang", and "Huwag Muna Tayong Umuwi" were among some of the other songs on the set list. The group closed the show with "Pantropiko".[23]

Homecoming

At the homecoming event on June 29, titled the "Here With You" Homecoming Fan Meet, Bini conducted their first performances of the tracks "Out of My Head", "Shagidi" and "Zero Pressure". They also publicly donated 362,000 raised from sales of their merchandise in charity to the ABS-CBN Foundation and launched their eponymous cosmetics brand.[35] A competition was also held among the individual members' official fan clubs for the best fan booth at the event.[36]
