Everything you need to know about the Girls Aloud tour ahead of Newcastle dates
Girls Aloud have reunited for a special tour to honour their former band member, Sarah Harding.
The Girls Aloud Show got off to an amazing start in Dublin last week (Friday, May 17), with the girl group showcasing an amazing stage production, dazzling costumes and emotional performances.
Iconic girl group Girls Aloud, which is made up of Geordie pop royalty Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh have begun their 2024 30-date reunion tour named The Girls Aloud Show which will see them perform across the UK.
Girls Aloud were formed in 2002, as part of the music competition reality show, Popstars: The Rivals. As part of the show, the girls competed against the boyband formed on the show, One True Voice for the Christmas Number One of that year.
Following their successful debut single (Sound of the Underground), Girls Aloud enjoyed an incredibly successful career, with four number one hits and two number one albums.
The group disbanded in 2009, before briefly reuniting for their 10 year anniversary in 2012.
Following the death of Girls Aloud member Sarah Harding in 2021, her fellow bandmates decided to come back in 2023, to honour Sarah and celebrate the music they created together.
