Filipino music fans abroad have reason to celebrate. For the first time ever, three rock icons Ely Buendia, Chito Miranda, and Arnel Pineda will share the same stage in Abu Dhabi. Scheduled for January 10, 2026, at the Etihad Arena, The OPM Legends concert promises an unforgettable night honoring decades of Filipino music, creativity, and global influence.
A Historic Gathering of Filipino Rock Icons
This special concert brings together artists whose impact transcends generations and borders. Fans can expect a mix of timeless hits, fan-favorite anthems, and surprises that celebrate the legacies of each performer.
Ely Buendia, frontman of the legendary Eraserheads, helped propel Pinoy alternative rock into the mainstream during the ‘90s and continues to influence the music scene as a solo artist. His most recent album, Method Adaptor (2024), earned Album of the Year at the New Hue Video Music Awards and Dangal ng Musikang Pilipino at the 38th Awit Awards. Buendia also participated in a historic San Diego Comic-Con panel promoting Eraserheads: Combo On The Run, the first Filipino film featured at the event.
Chito Miranda of Parokya Ni Edgar has defined Filipino rock for decades with his signature blend of humor, heart, and storytelling. Classic hits like “Harana,” “Your Song,” “Pangarap Lang Kita,” and “Halaga” showcase the enduring appeal of PNE’s catalog, making him one of the country’s most beloved performers.
Arnel Pineda, lead vocalist of Journey, represents one of the Philippines’ most inspiring international success stories. Since joining the multi-platinum band, Pineda has dazzled audiences worldwide, performing at the Super Bowl XLIII pregame show, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, and tours that have generated over $35 million in ticket sales. His rise from local talent to global rock frontman is a testament to Filipino artistry on the world stage.
