Girls Aloud have added a further 14 dates to their huge 2024 reunion tour, with 200,000 tickets already sold.
The new dates include an extra night in Dublin in May, two nights in Glasgow, and a further two shows at the O2 Arena in London.
The pop group’s four surviving members, Cheryl, Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Nicola Roberts, will be performing some of their biggest hits, as well as paying tribute to their late bandmate, Sarah Harding.
They originally formed 21 years ago on the reality TV show Popstars: The Rivals, going on to achieve more than 20 consecutive top 10 hits, then splitting in 2013 following a greatest hits tour.
Cheryl said in a statement that a reunion tour was on their minds until Harding’s death from breast cancer in 2021.
“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,” the “Love Machine” singer explained.
“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.”
