Jade Thirlwall threw down the gauntlet to Little Mix fans in Newcastle as the band came to town with their Confetti tour, having consistently boasted about her home crowd being the best.
The tour was originally set in the diary for last year, but the former X Factor winners' plans were thwarted by the coronavirus, with the dates postponed by almost a whole year. And then anticipation for the tour climbed even higher at the end of 2021 when Little Mix announced they'd be taking a break once the tour came to an end.
Jade and bandmates Perrie Edwards and Leigh-Anne Pinnock kicked off the Confetti shows in Belfast last weekend, before heading to Dublin. The Newcastle gigs were always going to be extra special for South Shields girls Jade and Perrie, especially with them not having the opportunity to perform on home turf for over two years.
