A1 Announces Highly Anticipated Return to Manila, Cebu this October 2026

Every time fans think it couldn’t get better, A1 comes back for more. The British-Norwegian pop band will once again bring the “kilig” and nostalgia to their Filipino fan. The pop band will perform in Cebu on 16 October 2026 at the Waterfront Cebu City Hotel & Casino, and in Manila on 17 October 2026 at the New Frontier Theater.

Following their highly successful Valentine’s Tour in the same cities in February 2025, the group, consisting of Paul Marazzi, Christian Ingebrigtsen, Mark Read, and Ben Adams, returns for a night that goes far beyond a trip down memory lane.

From the soulful harmonies of “Like a Rose,” the fan favorite “Everytime,” the sweet and heartfelt ballad “Heaven by Your Side,” to the high-octane energy of “Same Old Brand New You,” the connection between the quartet and their Filipino fans remains one of the most enduring love affairs in pop music history.

A1’s Filipino Love Story Continues

With more than five visits to the Philippines under their belt, A1 has evolved from international idols into honorary locals. The bond between A1 and their Filipino fans remains a landmark of pop music loyalty. Anchored by a foundation of genuine friendship and a mutual devotion to the band’s melodic hits.

A1’s return follows a streak of record-breaking milestones. Their 2023 TWENTY FIVE Anniversary Tour saw packed arenas in Davao and Cebu. Culminating in a back-to-back Manila concert after the first night sold out almost instantly.

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

Don’t get “Caught in the Middle” and miss your chance to be part of this iconic homecoming. Tickets for both shows officially go on sale on Friday, 13 March 2026, at 12:00 NN via SM Tickets & TicketNet.

Fans in both the Visayas and Luzon will have the chance to witness the magic live:
