OPM Legends Ely Buendia and Chito Miranda to Rock Dubai
Two of the Philippines' most influential rock bands are teaming up for a special celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) in Dubai. On August 30, 2026, Ely Buendia and Chito Miranda will take to the stage at Coca-Cola Arena in separate headline sets, each with their own musicians, production, and setlist.
The event promises to be a nostalgic night for fans of both Eraserheads and Parokya ni Edgar. Ely will draw from his solo career as well as the legendary Eraserheads catalogue, including hits like 'Alapaap', 'Ang Huling El Bimbo', and 'Pare Ko'. Chito, meanwhile, will combine his solo material with the enduring anthems of Parokya ni Edgar.
The concert is a significant event for Filipino music fans around the world. For many Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) in the UAE and beyond, these songs are not just memories, they're triggers that evoke feelings of nostalgia and sentimentality.
