Eraserheads’ Concert and New Song, announces at the end credits of ‘Combo on the Run’ 

The world-renowned Filipino rock band, Eraserheads are together again, this time on big screen with the long-awaited documentary film, titled Eraserheads: Combo On The Run, that chronicles the staging of their 2022 Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in Manila.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Maria Diane Ventura, Eraserheads: Combo On The Runis premiered in Philippine cinemas for one weekend only, (last March 21 to March 23, 2025 with over 150 screenings nationwide).

The film offered an accurate and deepest look at the relationship between members Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Marcus Adoro, and Buddy Zabala, as they come together to provide reprieve to an entire nation during a time of political divisions and uncertainties while, perhaps unknowingly, embarking on a journey of healing themselves.

According to Ventura in her interview, the film is “much more than a portrayal of a band’s breakup and the proverbial clash of egos,” but an important piece of work that captures the band’s unflinching honesty and untold story behind the curtains.

“This is a comprehensive deconstruction of the band’s mythology, humanity, complex relationship, and the lasting mark they left on Filipino culture — one that transcends generations and differences.

“Each interview revealed new layers and complexities, which found us constantly reframing to deepen the narrative. This would probably be my first and last documentary. An exception only for the Eraserheads, who I owe my career trajectory to and who, objectively, I think is the greatest Philippine artist, with Ely as the best songwriter of all time. This was my way of thanking them by upholding their legacy.”

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is slated as the first Philippine documentary to be screened in Dolby Atmos, a cutting-edge audio technology known for its most immersive sound experience.

Fans who have stayed until the end credits of the docu-film were treated to an electrifying surprise, the announcement of an upcoming concert aptly titled ERASERHEADS: ELECTRIC FUN MUSIC FESTIVAL, the outdoor event will take place at SMDC Festival Grounds in Pasay City on May 31, 2025.

In a talkback panel after a special advanced screening of the documentary ‘Eraserheads: Combo on the Run,’ the 54-year-old musician and frontman of the band revealed, “By this time I think, tama na yung reunion-reunion na yan, wala nang huling-huling el bimbo, we’re here to stay…Until we decide to break up again, that is.” ⁣

Details will soon be release, but early bird tickets will go on sale exclusively via PalawanPay starting March 29, 2025.

The band also teased a brand-new song in the end credits. If confirmed, this would mark the Eraserheads’ first new material in over a decade, following 2014’s “Sabado” and “1995,” which were later reissued on limited-edition vinyl with exclusive remixes in 2021.

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU and distributed by Warner Bros, and we hope that there will be another weekend for those who missed this amazing and much watch docu-film.
