SOP Gigsters was a musical variety show in the Philippines which featured production numbers from GMA Network's young stars and ran texting promos where viewers had a chance to win gadgets and cash prizes by subscribing through Fanatxt. It also featured guest performers. It aired every Sunday right after its parent show SOP (Sobrang Okey Pare).

SOP Gigsters was a top-rated show pitted against ABS-CBN's ASAP Fanatic, a variety show with the same format, until the Kapamilya network moved its drama anthology Your Song to its timeslot. Your Song was able to gain respectable ratings against SOP Gigsters for a number of weeks, often beating its rival show for most of the time.
With nothing more to prove as far as ratings were concerned, the GMA management decided to cancel SOP Gigsters in October 2006 and replaced it with Kapuso Movie Festival. Prior to SOP Gigster's cancellation, its competitor ASAP Fanatic was also cancelled a month earlier. Hosts Richard and Raymond Gutierrez were absorbed in SOP's roster of co-hosts while the other members of Gigsters such as Mark Herras, Ryza Cenon, Mike Tan, Marky Cielo and Dion Ignacio were able to secure prime spots in SOP as featured performers.
