X Factor boyband JLS announce huge reunion tour with a twist as tickets on sale in days

X-Factor stars JLS have revealed they will once again be taking to the stage as a four-piece and instantly whipped fans into a frenzy.

The quartet announced on social media that they will be hitting the road again starting on October 20 in Dublin before concluding their tour on November 11 at Sheffield's Utilita Arena.

It comes just days after the band teased fans on TikTok and other social media sites over a possible announcement just three years after they first got back together.

Band members JB Gill and Aston Merrygold appeared in a TikTok video after fans speculated over a possible tour after a fan tweeted: "The boys posting on the JLS account better mean there is a good announcement coming soon, I miss them, I miss tour and everything."

Confirming their news in a statement shared with The Mirror and other outlets, the group said: "We couldn't be more excited to announce another UK and Ireland arena tour!

"[The] last time out was totally surreal and we've been eagerly awaiting the right time to do it all over again.

"Playing live and seeing our amazing fans is definitely the best part of being JLS!"

Sharing the news on Twitter, the group said: "The suspense is over… We couldn't be more excited to announce another UK and Ireland arena tour later this year.

"Last time out was totally surreal and we've been eagerly awaiting the right time to do it all over again!"

Fans couldn't contain themselves as they flocked to the comments section, with one writing: "What better day to announce this then on my birthday!!"

"AHHHH I'M SO HAPPY but I’m also prob gonna be late for work waiting for you boys," exclaimed a second.

Before a third typed: "Another hit is coming that's for sure."

"Yayyyyyyy can't wait to see you guys again," tweeted a fourth.

Speaking previously about reuniting, the band spoke to the Daily Star about being on the road with their children, with Marvin Humes saying: "It was nice to be able to share those moments with them, the kids were treating the arena like it was their playground, running around and having the time of their lives to seeing their dads and their uncles on the stage and taking it all in and it must be weird to them and exciting as well."

Tickets for the EVERYBODY SAY JLS: The Hits Tour go on sale on Friday, March 3 at 9am.
