The crowd burst in a deafening roar as New York-based DJ duo The Chainsmokers hit the stage last August 19 at the Mall of Asia Arena. Sporting matching plain white shirts, black pants, and white shoes, Drew Taggart and Alex Pall electrified the audience with their brand of heart-thumping electronic dance music.
Thousands of screaming fans hit the dance floor with their arms up high and heads bobbing along to the endless stream of heady beats blaring from the loudspeakers.
The Chainsmokers kept the music flowing and the crowd pumping with their hits “Roses,” “Kanye,” “Don’t Let Me Down,” “Inside Out,” “Waterbed,” and “New York City.”
The sweaty revelers cheers had Taggart bellowing: “We love you, Philippines! You got our motherf**king backs, and we got yours!”
To keep the excitement going, the duo performed remixes of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ Californication, The Killers’ Mr. Brightside, Coldplay’s Yellow, Lukas Graham’s 7 Years, Smallpool’s Dreaming, and Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself, among others.

As they dished out their latest single “Closer,” Drew, who was up and about almost the entire time, was elated to see the crowd singing along with them. He quipped, “You guys are f*ucking amazing!”
