In the Philippines, food lovers can look forward to McSpicy, a chicken sandwich featuring a juicy whole-cut chicken thigh fillet coated in a crispy spicy seasoning blend. It comes on a soft toasted bun with fresh lettuce and creamy mayonnaise, creating a combination of crispy texture, heat, and savory flavor.

Also joining the lineup are McNuggets with Cajun Sauce, featuring crispy golden Chicken McNuggets served with a creamy Cajun Sauce. Its savory and tangy profile comes with a mild spicy kick inspired by popular Korean flavors.

The campaign experience will extend beyond the food, with exclusive digital content and limited-time activations rolling out across the 13 participating Asian markets.

The lineup continued with KAIA, whose youthful energy and contemporary pop sound energized the crowd, and Maki, who delivered a performance reflecting his recognizable musical style. The night reached its highlight with SB19, appearing for the first time as the newest members of the Sony ULT Squad. Their addition brings together Sony’s audio technology and SB19’s influence in Filipino music, reinforcing the ULT Squad’s role in celebrating artists and personalities who continue to shape contemporary music culture.

As Sony expands both its ULT POWER SOUND lineup and its roster of creative talent, the brand continues to create experiences where sound, style, and self-expression come together—Beyond the Beat.
