Ely Buendia and The Methodists, Armi Millare, and more to perform at Fete de la Musique
The Fete de la Musique main stage is gearing up to be an exciting one! It is one of the highly anticipated events of Fete, and is happening on June 21 at the Ayala Triangle Gardens in Makati City. Joining the lineup are Filipino icon Ely Buendia and The Methodists and acclaimed singer-songwriter Armi Millare. Ely released his latest album 'Method Adaptor' in 2024. His set promises to be his signature rock sound with live experimental twists. Armi is set to perform her classic songs with indie-pop and soulful melodies. Her solo songs include 'Whatever,' 'Say it Again' and 'Roots,' from her upcoming debut solo album, 'South Node.' More main stage acts include James Reid, Brigada, Janine, Brass Pas Pas Pas Pas feat. Leanne & Naara, The Ridleys, and Tarsius x Ena Mori. They will be joined by international acts Ito Kashitaro from Japan and Emile Londonien from France. The off-stage acts are by Filipino musicians Frank Ely and Zsaris, Bolivian Pop artist Bling Bling Papaya, and Singapore-based Pinoy queer artist Marian Carmel. Fete will be holding its 31st edition this year and will follow the theme "Un Monde" or "One World." The organizers aim to go back to the root of celebrating World Music Day and to highlight music as a shared language. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News

Ely Buendia breaks silence on allegations vs Eraserheads guitarist Marcus Adoro
Ely Buendia has issued an official statement on social media regarding the sexual harassment allegations against Eraserheads lead guitarist Marcus Adoro. The statement, posted in collaboration with Eraserheads: Combo on The Run director Diane Ventura, acknowledged the controversy and emphasized their stand against abuse. 'We acknowledge the recent allegations that have surfaced online,' Ely wrote on Instagram. 'As proponents of justice, we unequivocally condemn all criminal acts and stand against abuse of any form. Above all, we seek the truth.' He added that Adoro will be stepping away from their upcoming project while addressing the issue: 'We move forward with humility and deep respect for the truth and social responsibility.' The band is set to perform in a concert on May 31 at the SMDC Festival Grounds in Parañaque City. The controversy stems from a Reddit post in March, where a user alleged that Adoro raped her when she was in high school. As of writing, Adoro has not released a public statement addressing the accusation. Eraserheads: Combo on The Run premiered in theaters last March. The film chronicles the band's rise to fame, their emotional breakup, and the effort behind their historic 2022 reunion concert Ang Huling El Bimbo, which drew over 60,000 fans.
