From campus dreams to Coca-Cola Arena: OPM nostalgia for Filipinos in DubaiLast updated: August 29, 2026 | 21:395 MIN READBetween Eraserheads nostalgia and Parokya ni Edgar sing-alongs: Filipino music legends Chito Miranda (left) and Ely Buendia, are set to stage a concert in Dubai on Sunday August 30, 2026.Wikipedia, Ely BuendiaFor an entire generation of Filipinos, the soundtrack of youth came from two very different but equally influential bands: Eraserheads and Parokya ni Edgar.On Sunday, Aug. 30, 2026, two of the biggest names associated with those bands — Ely Buendia and Chito Miranda — bring that soundtrack to Dubai for a major celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM) at Coca-Cola Arena, located in the vibrant City Walk (Al Wasl district) in Dubai.This is not a joint-band concert. Ely and Chito will perform separate headline sets, each with his own musicians, production and setlist.Though one cannot entirely discount the possibility that they might still spring a surprise — perhaps with an encore together.Ely will draw from his solo career and the legendary Eraserheads catalogue, while Chito will combine his solo material with the enduring anthems of Parokya ni Edgar. The event is scheduled for 7 pm kickoff, according to Visit Dubai, while ticketing platforms list the show with an 8 pm start.Fans should therefore check their ticket and the venue's latest event information for the final entry/start time. What can fans expect?
