Eraserheads to perform in UAAP Season 87 opening ceremony

MANILA, Philippines —Iconic rock band Eraserheads are set for a reunion as members Marcus Adoro, Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, and Buddy Zabala perform in the main event of the UAAP Season 87 opening ceremony on September 7 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

This would be a homecoming of sorts for the E-heads members who are alumni of the University of the Philippines (UP), the host of Season 87 which champions the theme 'Stronger. Better. Together.'

"We're happy that the Eraserheads are going to share their magic with the UAAP as we start Season 87. Saktong-sakto yung mangyayaring ito sa theme natin for this season," said UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development (OASD) Dir. Bo Perasol.

"They reached the top, disbanded, reunited, and now, full circle na sila sa homecoming nila sa UP and sa UAAP. They are true music icons and legends and our national pride."

Expect the band to perform its timeless songs such Ang Huling El Bimbo' and 'With a Smile' that received the Gawad Oblation Award - the highest distinction that UP bestows on its alumni for their significant contributions and extraordinary service.

Following the opening ceremony is the 'Battle of Katipunan' featuring the UP Fighting Maroons and the Ateneo Blue Eagles which will have a separate ticket from the opening rites.
