Vancouver, BC — April 2026 — Fans of Filipino music, culture, and storytelling are invited to an unforgettable evening as the highly anticipated Combo On The Run documentary featuring the legendary Eraserheads arrives in Vancouver for a special one-night-only event.

Taking place on Saturday, April 11, at the iconic Rio Theatre, this immersive experience goes beyond a traditional screening, bringing together film, conversation, and live music in one powerful celebration of Original Pilipino Music (OPM).

“Combo On The Run” is a compelling documentary that chronicles the journey of the Eraserheads, widely regarded as one of the most influential bands in Philippine music history.

Through rare footage, behind the scenes moments, and heartfelt reflections, the documentary offers an intimate and honest look at the band’s legacy and the enduring impact of their music on generations of fans around the world.

Following the screening, the evening will transition into an intimate audience engagement segment, featuring a special live Q&A session with Ely Buendia and the film’s director, Diane Ventura. Attendees will have the rare opportunity to hear directly from the creative forces behind the film, gain deeper insight into the filmmaking process, and engage in meaningful conversation about the story and its impact.

Closing the night, audiences will be treated to an electrifying live full concert performance by Ely Buendia, delivering a dynamic set that celebrates the timeless music and spirit of the Eraserheads. The performance promises to bring nostalgia, energy, and connection, uniting fans through the songs that defined an era.
