OneRepublic Live in Shenzhen

Date: May 2 - 7:30 pm

Venue: CR Shenzhen Bay Sports Center Arena

From track to track, OneRepublic, which features lead vocalist Ryan Tedder, bassist Brent Kutzle, guitarists Zach Filkins and Drew Brown, and drummer Eddie Fisher, parallel the extraordinary scope of the album's creation by blending alt-rock, gospel, synth-pop, nu-disco, and folk. With its abundance of sweeping, stadium-ready anthems, Oh My My shapes those eclectic elements into songs built on both masterfully expansive arrangements and bravely intimate lyrics. Unabashed emotion and indelible melody have always propelled the music of OneRepublic, who released their first full-length Dreaming Out Loud in 2007. OneRepublic are now setting their sights on another journey across the globe. With extensive touring in the future, including support to U2 on their Joshua Tree Tour, the band looks forward to bringing even more new music back to the very places where it first came to life.
