OPM Rock Legends Are Taking Over Abu Dhabi And It’s Going To Be EPIC

If you grew up singing your heart out to OPM anthems, this one’s for you. For the FIRST. TIME. EVER., three absolute legends of Filipino rock — Ely Buendia, Chito Miranda, and Arnel Pineda — are sharing ONE stage, and it’s happening right here in Abu Dhabi.

Yep. This is not a drill.

On January 10, 2026, Etihad Arena, Yas Island is about to turn into one massive sing-along as the icons behind the songs that shaped generations come together for OPM Rock Legends.

Think nostalgia. Think goosebumps. Think screaming every lyric like it’s the 90s all over again.

Ely Buendia, the genius behind Eraserheads, gave us timeless classics like Ang Huling El Bimbo, With A Smile, and Pare Ko — songs that basically live rent-free in everyone’s head.

Chito Miranda of Parokya ni Edgar brought the laughs, the feels, and the honesty with hits like Harana, Buloy, and Your Song.

And then there’s Arnel Pineda — the Filipino rock star who went from YouTube videos to becoming the lead singer of Journey. Literal chills.

Seeing any ONE of them live would be iconic. Seeing all three together? That’s history.

This one-night-only concert is a full-on celebration of Original Pilipino Music, Filipino pride, and the songs that soundtracked so many lives. Expect massive crowd moments, emotional throwbacks, and non-stop belting from start to finish.
