Millennials, rejoice. Girls Aloud has just announced a 2024 UK reunion tour, and we are ready for the return of the synchronised dance moves and general Y2K nostalgia.
“We’re so excited to announce that we will be touring the UK & Ireland in May and June 2024. A celebration of Sarah, our music and our incredible fans. We can’t wait to sing and dance with you all once again. -Cheryl, Kimberley, Nadine & Nicola,” the group said on Instagram.
Cheryl Tweedy, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts will embark on the tour to celebrate their 21st anniversary and also to celebrate their late bandmate Sarah Harding, who passed away in 2021 of breast cancer.
“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,” Cheryl explained
The group began their journey on the ITV show Popstars where they auditioned separately and were then put together by the hosts. Before disbanding in 2013, the girl squad had plenty of fashion moments as iconic as their songs (many of which were, of course, coordinated).
In celebration of their return to the stage, here’s some of their best:
