After their Ang Huling El Bimbo reunion concert in December 2022 and a short run of shows in North America last year, the &ldquo;With A Smile&rdquo; band announced a world tour for 2024.
The Huling El Bimbo World Tour will take the band to cities in the United States &amp; Canada in July, Singapore in November, and Dubai in December. The Singapore show was added to the tour on the day of the announcement and press conference (June 19), and more tour stops might be added later.
Consisting of lead singer/guitarist Ely Buendia, bassist Buddy Zabala, drummer Raymund Marasigan, and guitarist Marcus Adoro, they will perform many of their greatest hits and fan favorites. Marasigan said in a press conference, &ldquo;I know these are really old songs, but it&rsquo;s the first time we&rsquo;re playing it to them, and it&rsquo;s probably the first time they&rsquo;re hearing it live.&rdquo; Buendia added, &ldquo;It&rsquo;s also great to see young faces in the audience, who weren&rsquo;t even born in our heyday back then, so that just means that the music still translates to the younger generation.&rdquo;
The band lead also explained how they choose the setlist, &ldquo;Eighty percent is decided by the fans, fifteen percent is decided by family and friends, and five percent is decided by the fans. If we were to choose 100% of the setlist, no one would come to the gigs because it would be super deep cuts and obscure E-heads songs.&rdquo;
The band plans to revamp songs in the 2023 setlist to include more underrated tracks and some song covers. Marasigan tackled having &ldquo;easter eggs&rdquo; for each show, pertaining to a special song played only in that city. More so, some shows will offer VIP ticket buyers a &ldquo;Soundcheck Experience,&rdquo; where the band will play lesser-known songs during soundcheck.
