The 2024 tour will be visiting Nottingham's Motorpoint Arena in June
It's been more than a decade since Girls Aloud performed last performed on stage so they can be forgiven for being a little rusty. Ahead of the band's 30-date UK tour, Nicola Roberts has been making sure fellow band mates Kimberley Walsh, Nadine Coyle and Cheryl Tweedy are up to scratch.
She says: "I got in front of the mirror and was tying to remember Sound of the Underground. Now you'd think 22 years of this song that it would be imprinted in my brain - but it was not and I freaked out so I said to the creative director 'I'm just letting you know I have been YouTubing the routines.'
The fifth member, Sarah Harding, released her first solo track, Threads, appeared on BBC's Celebrity MasterChef, launched a collection of headwear and appeared in Coronation Street as Joni Preston, the wife of Robert Preston. "The fans who have been to every single one of our shows and have known us for the past 22 years as a five, they are going to have to experience the show and experience us in a different way as well. It's going to be a lot for everyone to process.
"I don't know what we expected. The promoter was very confident, our agent was confident, our management was confident but when it's you that people are coming to see, there is a whole different level of anxiety there. I remember them saying we're going to put the first 15 dates on and thinking Jesus Christ what if they don't sell? What if people have moved on, what if people are not interested? It's been a long time since we did it before - there's a lot changed.
The setlist will revolve around 30 songs, with some on rotation. Her favourite is one she wrote called On the Metro. "We've only performed it once on the last tour so I feel like it's very much a fresh song and the fans love it. I've been getting loads of messages saying please do On the Metro.
