This autumn will see arenas across the UK and Ireland come alive with the sound of music as JLS announce details of ‘The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour’.
The 16-date tour including a date Aberdeen’s P&J Live on Friday, November 7, and features support from very special guest Example at all shows except for Bournemouth and Brighton.
As shown with their mammoth 2021 and 2023 headline tours, JLS can bring an electrifying atmosphere to packed arenas across the land. It’s a show packed front-to-end with classic pop bangers - including the #1 smash hits ‘Beat Again’, ‘Everybody In Love’, ‘The Club Is Alive’, ‘Love You’, ‘She Makes Me Wanna’ and many more. Factor in a whole host of other fan favourites, the boys’ irrepressible charm and slick dance moves, and a visually spectacular show, and it’s clear that JLS deliver an arena pop experience quite unlike anyone else.
JLS commented, “Your boys are back!! We’re SO excited to be back out on the road with another Hits tour bringing the full CLUB vibes to your city! There’s nothing we love more than getting to see you all and perform for you once again. We appreciate your support and we hope you’re ready to party with us and our very special guest - Example - very very soon!!”
The first of the two London shows at the O2 will see JLS join the venue’s 21 Club - an exclusive selection of artists who have headlined the famous arena 21 or more times. JLS are the latest in a list of famous names to have achieved this feat, including Michael Bublé, Take That, One Direction and Drake.
Example has a back catalogue packed with mega hits including the #1 singles ‘Changed The Way You Kiss Me’and ‘Stay Awake’, the classic dance anthem ‘Kickstarts’ and his feature on Calvin Harris’s ‘We’ll Be Coming Back’. With these hits releasing around the same time as some of the JLS boys’ biggest tracks, it’s set to be quite the night for fans across the country. Reminding people of his talents, and winning a huge following with his take on classic songs old and new, Example recently had a show-stopping run as Bear on ‘The Masked Singer’.
Example adds, “Buzzing to be back on huge stages in all these arenas. Performing is my bread and butter so when the boys asked me personally to come and be special guest support each night I couldn’t say no. I say ‘boys’ but we’re all getting on a bit now. Nevertheless, the energy from us all will be worth the ticket price alone. And that’s before we even consider all the hits, we’ve both had as artists. See you in November.”
Rob Wicks, Managing Director of P&J Live, said: “We haven’t seen JLS perform together in Aberdeen since 2013, so we’re absolutely thrilled to welcome them to P&J Live for the first time. Known for their catchy tunes and signature dance moves, the boyband is sure to put on an unforgettable show for the Northeast crowd.”
JLS (Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Marvin Humes and JB Gill) instantly became one of the biggest pop sensations of this century when they debuted with ‘Beat Again’ in 2009. In addition to their five #1 singles, they also have another five Top 10 hits to their name. Their self-titled debut album went straight to #1, while their subsequent three studio albums all landed at #2 or #3. Winners of two BRIT Awards and five MOBOs, JLS fired back to the Top 5 in 2021 with ‘2.0’ which they followed with two of the biggest tours of their career. They returned to the spotlight last autumn with ‘JLS15’, an extended anniversary edition of their debut album, while JB Gill reached the final of last year’s ‘Strictly’.
