Background
The first North American leg was announced April 23, 2013.[3] In September 2013, the band announced Australian and New Zealand dates.[4] The first round for the Summer 2014 North American dates were announced in December 2013. This leg was dubbed the "Native Summer Tour".[5] Those dates showed an influx in sales and sold out shows in major markets which surprised the band and promoters.[6] This prompted additional dates for that leg which were announced in February 2014.[7]

Concert synopsis

The set begins with the band "in silhouette behind a white curtain before it was ripped away to revel an uncluttered set with a projection screen."[8] The stage is designed with "diamond-shaped video screens, a multi-level stage" and a catwalk which leads to a B-stage on which the band plays on for a section of the show.[9]
The set list includes the band's well-known songs and covers, such as "What a Wonderful World" (Louis Armstrong), "Take Me to Church" (Hozier) and "Budapest" by George Ezra and others.

Critical reception

Perspective
Stephanie March of the Denver Post's Reverb says, "the band quickly showed why it deserved the two night sellout by transitioning with finesse into "Secrets" from "Waking Up"."[27] Kevin C. Johnson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch says that, "the show was nothing special, yet came off totally like able." "Early songs such as "Secrets", "All the Right Moves", "What You Wanted" and "Stop and Stare" felt a little slow to lift off but the show gained its right momentum before long."[8] The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Ebony Martins' review of the show was; "If there is any chance that music exists in heaven, there's a good chance that heavens heard Ryan Tedder's a cappella falsettos Friday night at the First Niagara Pavilion." "Dressed in all black, Mr. Tedder was clearly the rock star of the night, swinging his signature fedora hat on and off during songs, bouncing on speakers, jumping on the piano for a few songs and blessing fans with his lyrical genius." Lynn Saxberg from the Ottawa Citizen says, "Fans were bedazzled by the slick production." Saxberg was happy that there was nothing to distract the band's musicianship which was "top-notch level". One highlight was during "Preacher" a song that "Tedder wrote for his grandfather."[9] Mike Ross, of the Edmonton Sun said, OneRepublic wowed the crowd at Rexall Place and delivered. He praised front man Tedder for his powerhouse vocals, ability to play the piano, and write songs "with a catchy hook, an anthemic U2-ian chorus and some kind of empowering inspirational message". He also praised the other band members talent for playing a variety of instruments.[28]
