Meet Manila’s Most Wanted Boys!
U.K.’s sexiest boy band, THE WANTED, has sent their Filipino fans into an online frenzy for the past couple of weeks with the announcement of their first Manila concert this September 14 at NBC Tent, Taguig City. Their ferociously infectious tunes, rock solid friendship and laddish charms have instantly turned them into Manila’s ‘most wanted boys’. The British-Irish boy band brought us mind-blowing tunes like “All Time Low”, “Glad You Came” and the hottest summer single, "Chasing the Sun".
