Held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum on Dec. 12, the concert was presented by Midas Promotions. Before heading to the main stage, OPM band December Avenue hyped up the fans by singing their hit songs, "Sa Ngalan Ng Pag-Ibig," "Saksi Ang Langit," and "Sa Dulo Ng Walang Hanggan."

Performing together for the first time in 2012, The Fray could not hide their excitement as they returned to the Manila stage, making the Philippines the final stop of their tour this year.

As the opening strains of the Beatles' "Here Comes the Sun" drifted through the dimming lights, the crowd erupted into its loudest cheers as the band's original vocalist and primary songwriter, Joe King, stepped onto center stage alongside longtime guitarist Dave Welsh and drummer Ben Wysocki.

The crowd went wild when Joe opened the show with his song "She Is." It was a perfect night for Titos and Titas as they sang along with every lyric of the song.

It was then followed by "All At Once," "Look After You," and "Fall Away."

Before heading to another song, Joe mentioned how grateful he is to be back and performing their songs.
