Mr.X Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 (edited) People really paying £200+ for GIRLS ALOUD tickets???!!!... Damn... I went to the Out of Control tour back in the day and wanted to ask for my money back! They are basically a Live at Butlins-type of act with a bit more budget. It isn't worth it girlies Edited December 1, 2023 by Mr.X 1 3 18
glitch Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 Didn't the Sugababes do theatres and only one arena date? I didn't realise Girls Aloud were so much more popular than them

I didn't realise Girls Aloud were so much more popular than them Sugababes one arena show wasn’t even sold out, it was a curtained off affair. These iconic LEGENDS though. no-one is touching them.
Marry The Gods Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 I discovered Girls Aloud from that iconic interview Nicola Roberts did with Lady Gaga Since then I bop to their music every once in a while. Untouchable is such a beautiful pop song. 1

Shelter Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 Happy for them. 29 UK/Ireland dates is huge. 1
Mordecai Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 I get that they were only popular in the British isles but damn, I wish they toured elsewhere too cause I would love to see them live. Happy for them tho!
Cotton Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 This is kinda crazy I had no idea that they were still popular bc ngl they gave me forgotten girl group of the 2000’s. I guess Cheryl’s solo success boosted their legacy.

They have 2 #1 albums, 7 albums that are at least platinum, and 20 consecutive top 10 singles including 4 #1’s (21 top 10’s in total) They’re hardly forgotten based on their stats alone. 11 1

Grizzo Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 come on now there’s room for both Sugababes and Girls Aloud to exist and thrive i love them both, went to see GA on their Tangled Up tour in 2007 it was a really fun time! I’m glad to see they’re back 3
DuffLavigne Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 They deserve everything I'm really sad I'm missing out on this

Keeandga Posted December 1, 2023 Posted December 1, 2023 Now when you make legendary music, thats what should happen.

Also better playlist support in general, when GA's only song that has had decent playlist support has been Love Machine.
