Get ready to witness OPM history as three legendary OPM bands come together for one epic concert at The Theater at Solaire in Paranaque on Thursday, July 11, at 8 p.m.

Rivermaya, Neocolours, and MYMP will grace the stage for a night of top-tier music in the concert titled "All Hits Just The Way You Want It!"

"Very excited dahil first time nangyari ito sa isang stage. I remember unang nabili ko na album noon ay ang Neocolours," said Rivermaya's Mark Escueta, during an interview at Stagecraft Studio in Pasig City recently.

Ito Rapadas of Neocolours said:: "Siyempre excited ako dahil makakasama namin ang Rivermaya at MYMP. Excited din akong makinig sa mga awitin ng mga kasama ko." 

"Kinalakihan ko sila so personally. Kabado ako, but we wouldn't miss this opportunity. Unbelievable pa rin na makakasama namin sila," said Chin Alcantara of MYMP.

Neocolours' Jimmy Antiporda said he's excited about the production numbers.

"Meron kaming mga production numbers na magkakasama kaming lahat. Exciting ito kasi iba't ibang generation kami. Maganda ang mga production numbers namin kasi unang unang OPM ang pinu-push namin. I hope magustuhan nila. Busog na busog ang sound. So you get a full sound and I'm sure magugustuhan nila," said Jimmy.

Mark shared that fans can expect their favorite Rivermaya songs to be performed during the show.

"Yung mga pinaka-gusto nyong kanta from Rivermaya ay tutugtugin namin. Ibang areglo for the new generation," he said.

As for Neocolours, Ito said: "We will be performing our original songs at sana maalala nila ito."

Juliet and Ethel Bahala mentioned that MYMP would perform nostalgic songs from their childhood. "May new materials kami. Kinakabahan din kami pero excited and thankful kami."

Ito expressed gratitude that the concert scene in the Philippines had been rejuvenated after the pandemic.

"Coming from concert scene masaya kami pero hinihikayat din namin na sana tangkilikin ang industriya na kinabibilangan ng mga artist natin movies or music industry. Maraming salamat sa lahat ng tumatangkilik sa creative industry," Ito also said. "Sa totoo lang mas matanda pa sa amin ang Rivermaya, but their songs are now part of the Filipino playlist." 

Mark praised the band Neocolours for the successful tour in 2023.

"Last year nagtour kasi sa US with Sir Ito, pero sa totoo lang, yung mga kanta nila ang pinaka-malakas sa show na yun. Talagang kumakanta lahat ng tao," Mark added.

The concert, “All Hits Just the Way You Want It!” will feature powerhouse performers Geneva Cruz, Lloyd Umali, Wency Cornejo, and veteran comedian-impersonator Jon Santos as special guests.
