GIRLS ALOUD ANNOUNCE THE GIRLS ALOUD SHOW TOUR TO CELEBRATE 21 YEARS
Following last week's news of Girls Aloud's reunion in the month that marked 21 years since Kimberley, Cheryl, Nicola, Nadine and Sarah were formed on Popstars: The Rivals. One show I absolutely loved watching and one of my favourite talent show discoveries.
To celebrate this milestone with all of their fans, Girls Aloud have announced they will be coming together for a huge UK and Ireland arena tour in May and June, 2024. It's going to be a sad one without Sarah, but I have no doubt that the band will do her proud. I am know I am not the only alouder who is extremely thrilled by this news and who's working out how to get hold of these tickets.
The hugely anticipated shows will feature the band's historic pop hits including Number 1 songs, Sound Of The Underground, The Promise and I'll Stand By You, alongside classics such as Love Machine, Call The Shots, Biology, Something New and The Show. All of their songs in my opinion are classics!
Speaking of the reunion, Cheryl says: "We all started talking about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20-year anniversary a few years ago. The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing that we would celebrate. But when Sarah fell ill all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon. But now, I think there is an energy that does makes it feel right. It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the band and the right time to celebrate the fact we can still do this 21 years later. That’s a big honour in lots of ways.”
Nadine added: "Girls Aloud are a band that made such a huge impact on people's lives. We grew up with the band, but so did so many other people. So for us not to do something again feels like such a shame and a waste. We want to have that moment with fans where we can all enjoy it together."
Kimberley commented: "Over the last year, we've felt this outpouring of love – obviously towards Sarah, but actually towards all of us as a group. And I guess it's ignited something in all of us again. It feels like something has changed and it does feel like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20-year anniversary that we didn't celebrate at the time."
Nicola added: "I think what's really encouraging is that whenever people ask us about reuniting it's not, "Would you guys ever do it?" but "When are you guys gonna do it?" To know we still have that love from our fans and people who watched us grow up gives us the confidence to do the tour. It will be massive celebration of everything we've done up to this point. We want people to leave being like, "Wow, I've just had one of the best nights of my life."
