Everybody in the club, put your hands up, because JLS are returning to the stage for an arena tour that’s bound to be ‘outta this world.’
The group, made up of Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, JB Gill, and Oritsé Williams revealed the exciting news in a recent interview. Marvin said: “There is going to be an element that audiences have never seen before from us.
“People know that I DJ and the fans have asked for me to do some sort of DJing in the show. But that would mean the other three getting a rest, which I’m not up for.
“Aston is DJing now, so there will be a part of the show where Aston and I will be playing tunes and JB and Oritsé will be hyping the crowd.
“We’re not just talking about JLS songs, we’ll be playing big records that represent the era that people know us the most from.”
Aston continued: “You’ve seen flying cars from us and you’ve seen us come down from the ceiling.
“We’ve set trends by doing outlandish stuff on tour so I’m not sure what else we can do to shock people.
“But everyone’s always expecting greatness from a JLS show, which we will try and provide.”
The Hits Tour will begin on October 20 at Dublin’s 3Arena and go on until November 11 at Sheffield’s Utilita Arena, where it will come to an end after 15 performances.
Oritsé explained: “We just want to get out there and play the hits.
“It’s those nostalgic songs which remind people of all their experiences growing up.
“And now some of those fans have children and they want their children to experience what they experienced growing up in the JLS era.”
Marvin added: “We’re not ruling out new music, we just haven’t had the chance to get into the studio yet.
“If we manage to get some tracks done this year then it will be a big bonus.”
However, they admitted there are a few things they need to sort out first, most importantly, getting back in shape…
Aston explained: “I need to get in some serious shape. Trust me, I’m trying to be out here looking like Michael B. Jordan.”
The group also announced the tour on their Twitter page, writing: “The suspense is over… We couldn’t be more excited to announce another UK and Ireland arena tour later this year. Last time out was totally surreal and we’ve been eagerly awaiting the right time to do it all over again!!”
Fans have obviously been left feeling overjoyed about the news of their reunion, with one writing: “Omg this is what I’ve been waiting for. I’m buzzing praying I get tickets hopefully near the front. I’m actually crying seeing this.”
While another gushed: “You guys are killing me with this announcement feels like it’s been forever since the last tour.”
“Thought I was going to have a heart attack when I seen this announcement you guys are killing me,” a third added.
Tickets come out on March 3, at 9am, will you be going?
