The Eraserheads are coming back together on the big screen very soon –– with their long-awaited documentary set to premiere this March 2025.

The world-renowned Filipino rock band is set to be the subject of the upcoming documentary feature, titled Eraserheads: Combo On The Run, that chronicles the staging of their 2022 Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in Manila –– delving deep into the heart and soul of a group that has defined an entire generation of listeners, while showcasing the untold story of the band’s widely publicized (and painful) breakup, alongside the challenges they faced for the preparations of their long-awaited comeback concert.

Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Maria Diane Ventura, Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is scheduled to premiere in Philippine cinemas for one weekend only, screening from March 21 to March 23, 2025. The film is set to offer an insightful look at the relationship between members Ely Buendia, Raymund Marasigan, Marcus Adoro, and Buddy Zabala, as they come together to provide reprieve to an entire nation during a time of political divisions and uncertainties while, perhaps unknowingly, embarking on a journey of healing themselves.

According to Ventura, she states how the film is “much more than a portrayal of a band’s breakup and the proverbial clash of egos”, but an
an important piece of work that captures the band’s unflinching honesty and untold story behind the curtains. “This is a comprehensive deconstruction of the band’s mythology, humanity, complex relationship, and the lasting mark they left on Filipino culture—one that transcends generations and differences,” the filmmaker mentions.

“Each interview revealed new layers and complexities, which found us constantly reframing to deepen the narrative. This would probably be my first and last documentary. An exception only for the Eraserheads, who I owe my career trajectory to and who, objectively, I think is the greatest Philippine artist, with Ely as the best songwriter of all time. This was my way of thanking them by upholding their legacy,” she concludes.

Eraserheads: Combo On The Run is brought to you by Dvent Pictures and WEU and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, with tickets available for purchase soon.
