Iconic Filipino band Eraserheads will headline the opening ceremony of the UAAP Season 87 on September 7 at the Araneta Coliseum.

The band members, Ely Buendia, Marcus Adoro, Raymund Marasigan, and Buddy Zabala, will perform at the event, which coincides with the University of the Philippines' hosting duties.

The opening ceremony will feature a concert by the band, serving as a prelude to the UAAP Season 87 men's basketball tournament's first game between UP and Ateneo.

UP Office for Athletics and Sports Development director Bo Perasol expressed excitement, noting the band's journey mirrors the season's theme, 'Stronger. Better. Together.'

This performance follows the band's recent receipt of the UP Gawad Oblation Award, the university's highest alumni distinction.

The opening ceremony will have separate tickets from the UAAP games.
