Want to go to the Eraserheads reunion concert so bad but wasn't able to secure tickets? Lift your head, baby, don't be scared.
Filipino fans may still catch the legendary OPM band through a pay-per-view livestream hosted by telco giant Smart.
Organizers said Ang Huling El Bimbo will be accessible on the Smart LiveStream app for P650. The app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, while users may pay for the pay-per-view access via their postpaid bill, prepaid load, or credit card.
The livestream for the entire concert will only be available starting at 8:30 p.m. on Dec. 22. The event will be held at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque.
Organizers previously said that overseas fans may watch Ang Huling El Bimbo via ABS-CBN's streaming platform iWantTFC. Early bird tickets worth $23.99 (P1,300) were available until Nov. 30, while regular rates worth $29.99 (P1,700) were up for grabs since Dec. 1.
Eraserheads members consist of Ely Buendia, Raimund Marasigan, Buddy Zabala, and Marcus Adoro.
Tickets first went on sale last October. It immediately sold out in days, with the highest-tier moshpit selling out in minutes to hours. Organizers have since introduced ticket promos.
But several Filipinos, including long-time fans, have criticized the reunion concert due to Adoro's alleged past abuses against his former partner and daughter. Other members have since given their two cents on the issue.
Ang Huling El Bimbo concert will be for one night only, and the Eraserheads said it might be their last—for now.
"Mukhang hindi na namin kaya maulit ito," Buendia said in a press conference. "We'll see. For now, this show will be the last dance, last El Bimbo."
