Cup of Joe took to Instagram to write an appreciation post to their Joewahs following their historic “Sandali: The Cup of Joe Fest.”

In an Instagram Reel, the OPM band shared moments from their shows through the years, from small gigs, to their world tour, to playing at the Philippine Sports Stadium.

“Before the bigger stages, louder crowds, and all the moments we once prayed for — you were already there,” Cup of Joe said in their open letter.

“You were with us when the venues were smaller, when the dreams seemed so far away, and when all we had were our own written songs and hope that someone would listen,” they added.

The band said that during “Sandali: The Cup of Joe Fest,” they realized how special their journey is, because they get to experience it together with their fans.

“Thank you for staying. Thank you for believing in us even during the quiet moments. And thank you because you made this dream bigger, more colorful, and more meaningful,” Cup of Joe said.

“No matter how far this journey goes, we always carry where we started — and you are always part of that,” they added.

Cup of Joe made history as the first Filipino act to perform at the.

The band previously held at the Araneta Coliseum in October 2025.

Their megahit “” was declared the most-streamed OPM song on Spotify in February. The song was part of their debut album “Silakbo,” released in 2025.

Cup of Joe’s other songs include “Tingin” featuring Janine Teñoso, “Manananatili,” “,” and “Estranghero.”
