Qabayan Radio 94.3 FM, Qatar’s only Filipino radio station, has announced that the Eraserheads will perform in Doha as part of their World Tour 2024, titled ‘Huling El Bimbo.’ The concert will take place on 13 December 2024 at the Qatar National Convention Center (QNCC).
The announcement was made during a media event at Dusit D2 Salwa Hotel. The event is being presented by Visit Qatar and organised by Qabayan Radio. It is expected to be a major event for Filipino music fans in Qatar and the wider region. The concert has already drawn comparisons to the successful Sarah G x Bamboo concert held in April 2024, which sold out and was praised for its organisation and attendance.
‘We have high expectations that the Eraserheads concert will not only match but surpass the success of the previous Sarah G x Bamboo concert, further cementing Doha’s reputation as a cultural and entertainment hub,’ said Salim Kainikkara, Managing Director of Qabayan Radio. ‘This extends beyond major Filipino artists to include internationally renowned performers, making it a significant moment in the city’s cultural landscape.’

According to John Martin, Event Manager of Qabayan Radio, the team has been planning the concert for months to ensure its success. ‘We are committed to making this another historic event for the Filipino community in Qatar,’ he said.
The Eraserheads, formed in 1989, are considered one of the Philippines’ most influential rock bands. Their music, which blends Western rock influences with Filipino culture, became anthems of the 1990s. Hit songs such as ‘Pare Ko,’ ‘Alapaap,’ ‘Magasin,’ and ‘Huling El Bimbo’ are well-known across generations.
Ticket details for the concert will be announced soon. Qabayan Radio encourages fans to stay updated on ticket sales and other concert details, as a large turnout is expected.
In addition to announcing the Eraserheads concert, Qabayan Radio also held an appreciation ceremony for sponsors, volunteers, and media teams who contributed to the success of the Sarah G x Bamboo Live in Doha concert. Certificates of Appreciation were presented during the event.
