The Party: 2ne1 in Manila Concert

Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh 2ne1!

We arrived in Araneta Coliseum at around 12noon. We thought there will be long queues already but there was none. In Super Show 3, lines were isaw-like already before 12noon. So, we were quite surprised to see no lines at all. Like in SS3, there were kpop merchants as well gathered outside Araneta but the number of sellers are fewer compared to SS3. There's a 2ne1 fan club which gives 2ne1 shirt for free and a blackjack biscuits! How generous of them. We just presented our tickets and they gave the shirts right away. Good quality ones. :)

The Stage before The Party starts.

This is not a full scale concert of 2ne1 so there were loooots of front acts! Five artists to be exact. I thought it will be just boring for me as I bought the ticket to watch 2ne1 and nobody else. I especially enjoyed Callalily and Christian Bautista's performances whilst Giselle Sanchez' hosting was really good and she can bring the crowd to laughters!

The Sea of Lights of the Blackjacks as requested by Callalily's vocalist. I really enjoy seeing this sea whenever I am at concerts. The Sea of Sapphire Blue was the best though.

The concert was really like a party where lots of laser beams (similar to what they have in clubs) are played all over their performances. They really brought down the crowd with their performances! I wasn't able to see them up close but being there was just so awesome and exhilarating. :)

They performed eight songs. I thought they will be singing six songs only, so glad it was eight! :)

1. Fire
2. Go Away
3. Please Don't Go
4. Lonely
5. In or Out by Dara
6. Can't Nobody
7. Clap Your Hands
8. I Don't Care
