Last Saturday, April 20, American rock band Boys Like Girls kicked off their 2024 Spring tour — and they did so at the Araneta Coliseum, right in the heart of Metro Manila.
The show began with a hits-filled set from the opening act, We The Kings, who returned to Manila after more than a decade. The band commenced their set with Skyway Avenue, followed by She Takes Me High and Secret Valentines. They moved on to When We Were Young, followed by I Feel Alive, Just Keep Breathing, and a cover of Coldplay’s Fix You, which Boys Like Girls released as a digital single on Spotify under Hopeless Records in 2022.
After a series of rocking numbers, the band dialed it down for an acoustic version of Sad Song, one of the band’s most well-known songs. It describes a relationship that’s intimate and damaging at the same time. That description fits their acoustic rendition of the song at the Araneta Coliseum last Saturday. It was gentle, sure, but lead singer Travis Clark’s emotive delivery and the song’s heartrending lyrics definitely made some members of the audience cry that night.
Time stood still for a bit while the headliner Boys Like Girls prepared to take the stage after We The Kings’ set. When they did, they tore the roof off the Araneta Coliseum with Sunday at Foxwoods from their 2023 album of the same name, and Love Drunk, the lead single from their second studio album, also named “Love Drunk.”
They segued into Five Minutes to Midnight, Blood and Sugar, She’s Got a Boyfriend Now, and Dance Hall Drug . Lively renditions of their most-streamed songs — Heels Over Head and Up Against the Wall from their 2006 self-titled album, and The First Time —followed.
To that fan, we at PULP Live World say, you — and the thousands of others who rocked out with Boys Like Girls and We The Kings last Saturday — are very much welcome. We’re glad that you felt the show was not only a “Great Escape” but a sulit one to boot!What has changed in the snack habits of Filipinos?
