Wednesday 5:46pm
A couple of minutes ago i got a message saying information that made me jump out of my seat! It said that another company has taken over the show of the Eraserheads reunion concert and that ticket prices have been changed to P800 and P1300! Immediately i made the call to the people in charge to find out if these reports were true...indeed they are!!!
Radiohead Media Solutions, Inc. announces the acquisition of the concert rights to the much awaited one-night-only Eraserheads reunion this coming Saturday, 30 August 2008. The Reunion is to be slated at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field. Brought to you by Radiohead Media Solutions, Inc. In cooperation with SonyBMG Music Entertainment Phil., Inc.
It has officially been confirmed that the Eraserheads One Night only Reunion concert has been taken over by Radiohead Media Solutions! After Marlboro pulled out, it seems like they took on the responsibility of doing the show and giving the fans what they want!!! Not only that, but ticket prices are also now at P800 and P1300. Tickets will be sold at ticketworld starting august 28 and you can call them for inquiries at 891-9999.
I know im the first one to release this info and many of you may not believe me but this news comes directly from a few very reliable sources!!! Believe it or not!!!

See you all at the show! I took pictures of the venue as they set up under the dark cloudy and gloomy sky. Ill be posting those by tommorow.
Tuesday 2pm.
What a wild roller coaster ride this is! First off, no one was really sure of anything. Then, with the little that we did know, none of it could be confirmed. All that was known was that the Eraserheads were going to have a one night only reunion concert on aug 30. Our endless efforts simply led us all to signing up under marlboro's website, and all they could offer back to us were tracking numbers...some never even got theirs.
Then sadly, last friday night aug 22, it was announced that the concert was indeed canceled. Philip Morris was unable to get a permit from the DOH leaving them with no choice but to cancel the show. The whole weekend was madness! Texts, e-mails, people talking about it, was pure chaos! Panic! No one knew what to do next but no one wanted to let go of the possibility of watching this once in a lifetime crazy reunion! And thank God for that! Because our prayers were answered!!! By sunday afternoon, it was re-confirmed that the show was actually going to push through!!!!!!! Not to mention how all of this was for the band themselves! I cant speak for any of them but im sure canceling the show would've been an impossible thing to do. I just love it how you can't stop rock and roll!!
There are new promoters and it is an entirely different company handling the show now and just some other details are different.
Age Limit is now 12 years old and above. Tickets will be sold this week, VIP passes apparently will remain the same as if it was still under marlboro.
A text from Rayms read:

dear everybody
after much ado. the eraserheads concert is most definitely pushing
through.
philip morris and its brands have pulled out from the concert. but
another company is taking over the production. the turn over started
yesterday and they have already started work on the site in the fort.
so you can check.
there are good news and bad news.
unfortunately its no longer free. all the long winded registration
procedures in the red nation site is now void.
the good news is that the age limit is now 12 years old (for safety
reasons)and tickets will be sold so you dont have to wait for
confirmation and what not.
the official announcement and ticketing details will come out in major
newspapers and on the radio on tuesday.
these are the only details i know for now so no need to email me. im
just the drummer.
btw. i just got home from the last rehearsal. the band is cooking. we
will see you all on the 30th.
Friday 10pm
About 10 minutes ago i got the text i was hoping would never come. The Eheads concert is cancelled.
Because the Department of Health (DOH) refuses to issue a permit, they've been left with no choice but to cancel the concert. We know that they've been having the hardest time to make this happen because of all the laws and what not, and i guess those troubles have gone far enough and to the point that they've just decided to let it go and not have the show instead.
This is a very sad day in Filipino Music. Thousands, perhaps millions of people have been talking about this once in a lifetime experience for nearly a month now, and without anyone being able to confirm anything absolutely solid, the buzz has just gotten louder and louder. I wonder what kind of monstrous noises we'll be hearing now that the concert has been called off? But what a sad day indeed. People from abroad have purchased tickets to come home just for this one reason. T-shirts have been made. Countless playlists on iPods and radio stations have all paid tribute to the Eheads as a result of their One Night Only Reunion..and now its cancelled. Shit.
