Guys, there's a shop on Etsy that sells beaded Girls Aloud bracelets. I bought one for when I see them in Birmingham on 18th June. Before buying it, I recommend giving them your wrist size before buying.

 

Here's the bracelet I bought: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1707325321/...frs=1&crt=1

 

Also, the shop owner puts in a free Maoam sweet with every order. ;)

:heart:

It was a joke, but in all seriousness they could be a support act as they can't tour arenas themselves and would actually be an extra draw to a GA show as most fans of GA are also fans of Sugas (myself included).

True but i couldnt see sugababes overly wanting that.

How exciting!! I won't be viewing this thread until I've attended the Sheffield show as I want to avoid all spoilers but I hope everyone going to the tour has the time of their lives :wub:

Is this new megamix a hint of what’s to come at the tour? I hope Girl Overboard is.

With Girls Aloud kicking off The Girls Aloud Show in Dublin on May 17, the group have revealed how pivotal a part late bandmate Sarah Harding played in their decision to tour once more.

 

Sarah tragically passed away in September 2021 aged 39, after receiving an advanced stage breast cancer diagnosis in 2020. Since then, Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Tweedy, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh have worked to raise over £1million for cancer charities, including The Sarah Harding Breast Cancer Appeal.

 

Now, the band explain they want their show to 'celebrate' Sarah's life and legacy.

 

Speaking ahead of The Girls Aloud Show's opening night, Cheryl says: "Sarah stayed with me for about a week and she was throwing around ideas of how we could celebrate 20 years of Girls Aloud while she was still here.

 

"At one point, she did say to us: 'Even if I can't make it, I hope you girls do it without me.'"

 

Kimberley adds: "One of our main aims on this tour is to do Sarah justice and give us and our fans that moment to celebrate her. I think they need it, I think we all need it."

 

On the celebratory aim of the show, Cheryl explains: "I want us to bring back happy memories for people. I love listening to music that transports me to the way I felt at a different time, and I think Girls Aloud are that band for a lot of people.

 

Kimberley agrees, adding: "It's amazing at this stage in our career to be able to go out there and do this. We're coming into this tour from a place of joy.

 

"There's always something really special when we get together. It's a bit mad, but that's just us.

 

"I think I'm only realising now just how much our music means to people. I get so many different kinds of people approaching me to say that our songs hold special memories for them or remind them of a time when they had fewer responsibilities.

 

"And I mean, some of the people who tell me these things are my bosses!"

 

The Girls Aloud Show begins at Dublin's 3Arena on Friday May 17.

I've seen some merch pictures floating around and the test tube shirt isn't a want, it's a need!

 

Can't believe it's only a month tomorrow until my childhood hope of seeing them live one day will be a reality *.*

So far

 

1. Untouchable

2. The Show

I want to see this Test Tube tshirt!?

I want to see this Test Tube tshirt!?

Here's some pictures from the merch stands there:

the Sarah shirt :cry: :heart:

As much as I love it, I am not paying $40 for a t-shirt, utterly ridiculous and an absolute rip off after fans already spent a fortune on tickets. Just greedy tbh.

If you've made it this far down then I'm going to assume that you're okay with reading spoilers, so the next part of the post will be spoilers:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm incredibly pleased with the set list! I'm pleasantly surprised by the opening song choice being Untouchable, I bet it'll be epic! I've seen that some are disappointed that The Loving Kind isn't included.

 

For Wake Me Up they perform on motorbikes suspended in the air!!

 

Lots of nods to Sarah throughout the show, notably a tribute at the end of Whole Lotta History, and audio of Sarah's vocals is used before the chorus of I'll Stand by You. :heart:

 

If you can tolerate the Daily Mail there are numerous pictures here: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/artic...fans-tears.html

Ah a little disappointed by no the loving kind too but otherwise great set list

Do we think there was some songs cut from tonight’s due to the late start? It’s an amazing setlist but was kinda expecting more than 20 songs this time around from what they were saying on radio

Did they finish quite late too?

I'm happy with that set-list on the whole! 'Wake Me Up' is in my top 5 GA songs and that was the single I was most concerned about in terms of inclusion (due to being shunted to disc 2 on Ten) but all of my favourite singles are indeed there and some killer album picks too *.* no 'The Loving Kind' is a shame but not a surprise at all sadly

Great set list and the Dublin show seems to have been very very well received.

Is it a copy of their signature or is it actually signed (the £50 item)

They're definitely signed by the girls!
