The music scene has been abuzz with the announcement of the Eraserheads’ Huling El Bimbo Reunion Concert, generating excitement to a fever pitch from its fan base of millions who have been following and supporting the band for over three decades. The Eraserheads had their last public concert in 2009 and this reunion concert has been highly anticipated.
