On Wednesday, November 6, 2013, American piano-rock band OneRepublic came to the Smart Araneta Coliseum for their Native tour. The concert not just went encore but turned to be a massive karaoke-fest for their fans. Well, who will never love singing with your favorite band after all? The night started out with a silhouette of  a 5-member band behind a large white curtain, Ryan Tedder, Zach Filkins, Drew Brown , Brent Kutzle and Eddie Fisher opened Native tour in Manila with Don’t Look Down.
The curtain dropped and the reaction of the crowd was priceless in the much awaited first appearance of the band on stage, the cello played and the the entire coliseum shook up. The third song of the night treated us to a brilliant performance of one of their hit songs Secrets and followed by All The Right Moves. Patron area was full, trying all the fans to rock their faces off as close to the stage as possible. It seemed that those chairs were unnecessary and OneRepublic had the audience on its feet the whole show.
