JLS
JLS, the most successful new group of 2009, end their incredible year by announcing their first UK Arena tour for December 2010. Due to phenomenal demand JLS have added six dates to their arena tour.
With 4 shows in London already in their diary, JLS have added another to their winter tour. They will headline London’s O2 for the third time on Saturday January 15th January 2011. Plus they have added more shows in Aberdeen, Glasgow, Cardiff, Birmingham and Newcastle.
JLS’ February 2010 UK tour sold out within 24 hours with multiple dates being added due to popular demand for London and Manchester. And it would have been even quicker had it not been for the booking agents computers crashing due to the demand.
“We can't believe the demand we received for our theatre tour which sold out immediately! The response has been incredible and we're over the moon to announce that we're doing our very own arena tour at the end of 2010. It’s every singers dream to play venues like Wembley Arena and Nottingham Trent FM Arena to such huge audiences! It’s going to be a spectacular and we can't wait for all our supporters to see the show!!”
JLS have had a phenomenal 12 months. Their first two singles debuted at #1 – ‘Beat Again’ and ‘Everybody In Love.’ Both songs also topped the radio airplay charts. Their debut self-titled album released in November stormed to the top of the album charts selling 239,643 copies in one week, to make it the fastest selling debut by a group since the Arctic Monkeys released their debut in 2006. The album has now sold over a million copies.
As well as the record-breaking sales, JLS have been picking up awards along the way. In September they walked away with two MOBOs for ‘Best Newcomer’ and ‘Best Song for Beat Again.’ And this week JLS won ‘Best British Single for Beat Again’ and ‘Best British Breakthrough Act’ at this year Brits.
