PHOTOS: OneRepublic – Co-Op Live, Manchester – 24/09/2025

The staying power of OneRepublic over the last couple of decades really shouldn’t be underestimated. They’ve never been the absolute biggest or loudest of pop bands, but the number of fairly ubiquitous hits they’ve amassed over the years speaks for itself. There’s also the small matter of frontman Ryan Tedder and his status as a songwriter and producer for some of the bar-none biggest names in all of music. As deeply swaddled in ‘silent majority act’ blankets as OneRepublic are, the presence they’ve racked up is nothing if not commendable. If nothing else, it’s put them in Manchester’s Co-Op Live, and fashioned together a setlist of hits that, for an arena-pop show, is everything you could possibly ask for. Ben Whitehurst headed down to check it out.
