Love in the Philippines: A1 Announces Manila, Cebu Shows in October

British-Norwegian pop group A1 sure knows how to treat their fans like a rose as they announce their highly anticipated return to the Philippines this October.

The beloved boy band — composed of Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Ben Adams — will perform in Cebu City on October 16, 2026, at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, followed by a Metro Manila show on October 17, 2026, at the New Frontier Theater. 

These concerts are part of their Love in the Philippines tour. The tour follows the group’s successful shows back in February last year, also held in Cebu and Manila.

In October, fans can expect yet another nostalgic night filled with the group’s biggest hits, including “Like a Rose,” “Everytime,” “Heaven by Your Side,” and “Same Old Brand New You.” 

Over the years, the group has visited the country multiple times, turning their relationship with Filipino fans into one of the most enduring connections in pop music. Their 2023 Twenty Five Anniversary Tour saw packed arenas in Cebu and Davao, culminating in back-to-back Manila concerts after the first night quickly sold out.

In an interview, A1 shared,  "We’ve just been received so well every time we perform in the Philippines. You don’t get a better welcome than here."
