HUNT THE HARMONY: ERASERHEADS’ MYSTERY GIG LURKS IN THEATERS—FIND IT!

 Exclusive live performance of the Eraserheads to take place at a “mystery” cinema during opening weekend

 

Philippines – As a special treat for both music and movie fans, the Eraserheads: Combo On The Run will be hosting a surprise Pop-Up Performance Lottery, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for a lucky audience. From March 21-23, 2025, the iconic band will visit an unsuspecting cinema and perform during the weekend theatrical run of the highly anticipated documentary.

Producer and filmmaker Maria Diane Ventura shares that the exact location and time of the surprise performance will remain a mystery. “It’s a lottery, after all,” she explains. 

A“The thrill lies in the unpredictability: it could take place at any theater, at any moment, and not even I have the slightest clue. What we can promise, however, is that these lucky ticket holders will have the rare opportunity to see the Eraserheads in such an intimate setting. It’s a unique, once-in-a-lifetime experience.”

Ventura further explains that the pop-up performance aims to reignite the magic of movie-going at a time when streaming has overtaken traditional movie-watching.

“I think some movies are meant to be experienced in the cinema, shares Ventura. “And I feel Combo on the Run is one of those films. It’s in Dolby Atmos, a technology that lets the fans hear the Eraserheads’ music in a way they’ve never had.”

“Imagine having the band playing right after just watching their film. That would heighten the audio-visual film experience. I’m excited for the lucky viewers that get to have that chance for such an immersive treat for the senses.”

The band’s idea for a pop-up performance was born from their desire to connect with fans freshly and uniquely. “This is entirely their concept, and it’s original, fresh, and unprecedented,” Ventura adds. “There’s nothing like it out there. It’s an extraordinary way for fans to experience the band’s story and music in a new, exciting context.”

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run provides an exclusive, behind-the-scenes look at the Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in 2022, set against a backdrop of political division and post-pandemic uncertainty. Featuring rare footage and never-before-seen interviews, the documentary offers a deep dive into the band’s history, struggles, and triumphs. With its compelling narrative and intimate portrayal of the band, Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is already being hailed as one of 2025’s most important films by both film critics and pop culture pundits.

 

Ventura, who served as producer and filmmaker, describes the film as a careful and balanced depiction of the band’s complexity. She reveals, “I don’t want to give too much away. Suffice it to say, the film will speak for itself.” 

Despite the scrutiny the band members have faced over the years, Ventura remains committed to presenting an honest portrayal. According to Ventura, the film aims to present a candid and honest portrayal of their story. “What the fans can expect is that nothing is swept under the rug. Everything is explored. This is a documentary, and I’m honoring the truth. My priority is the story. It’s anyway the only way I can truly honor the trust given to me in sharing themselves. I’m not one to pander to anyone’s approval. I’m here to seek the truth and bring to light things unsaid.”

 

The filmmaker emphasizes that the film is ultimately about growth, redemption, and self-reflection. “I do not doubt the legacy of the band. Objectively, they are the best musicians in the country; they changed the game. They’re the only artists I know whose work can transcend differences and capture such a diverse audience. Their legacy is undeniable. Their untold story, on the other hand, and their fascinating, intriguing dynamic, personalities and humanity are what this film is about. The highs and the lows, the triumphs and mistakes, I think this is what would resonate with the audience. We can all relate to being human.”

 

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. It will be the first Philippine documentary to be screened in Dolby Atmos, providing the most immersive sound experience available today.

 

The documentary will be screening nationwide for a limited time, from March 21 to 23, 2025.
