The show was aptly dubbed as Huling El Bimbo, signaling that it is the group's finalperformance. The tickets sold out after four days from its initial release, moving the producers to expand the capacity of the venue to accommodate more concert goers.
Lead vocalist Ely Buendia said that the Huling El Bimbo isn't like any other previous reunion concerts.
Because we love our fans, we want to give them something different here. It's the beginning of a new chapter in our lives and we also want them to have a special memory of Eraserheads as we move forward."
"Mounting an Eraserhead's show is no easy feat. But this is no ordinary show, it's their last and final act in the Philippines that's why we are making sure it's a show that would etch in the memories of all us fans, me included," Paolo Valenciano, concert director, shared. "Watch out for the drone show and a hologram of the late Francis M., " Valenciano added. The reunion concert is Eraserheads' gift to fans as they kick-off the Christmas spirit before the yuletide celebrations.
t will be a spectacular visual and auditory experience and the audience should expect the unexpected. It will be unlike anything ever produced and seen in the country, befitting the legacy of the band."
