In an exciting return for fans, the beloved pop group JLS has announced a UK-wide arena tour, which includes a stop at Manchester's Co-op Live on November 15, 2025. This tour, titled 'The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour,' is set to be a memorable spectacle showcasing their greatest hits.
Famed for their energetic performances, JLS is no stranger to the touring circuit, having previously wowed audiences with their shows in 2021 and 2023. This upcoming tour promises to deliver the same electrifying atmosphere that fans have come to love. The agenda is packed with classic pop anthems such as 'Beat Again,' 'Everybody In Love,' 'The Club Is Alive,' and 'She Makes Me Wanna.' The band has a knack for creating an unforgettable pop experience that resonates with fans old and new.
In a delightful announcement from JLS, the group expressed their excitement: “Your boys are back!! We’re SO excited to be back out on the road with another Hits tour bringing the full club vibes to your city! There’s nothing we love more than getting to see you all and perform for you once again. We appreciate your support and we hope you’re ready to party with us and our very special guest – Example – very very soon!!”
Example, whose own repertoire includes chart-toppers like 'Changed The Way You Kiss Me' and 'Stay Awake,' will be supporting JLS on this tour, except for the shows in Bournemouth and Brighton. Example’s involvement adds an extra layer of excitement to the evening, promising fans a night filled with popular tunes and vibrant performances.
JLS and Example share a timeline of hit releases, sparking nostalgia and excitement among followers. Example has become a familiar face in the music scene, recently gaining traction with his appearances, including a memorable stint as Bear on 'The Masked Singer.' Example remarked about the tour: “Buzzing to be back on huge stages in all these arenas. Performing is my bread and butter so when the boys asked me personally to come and be special guest support each night I couldn’t say no. I say ‘boys’ but we’re all getting on a bit now. Nevertheless, the energy from us all will be worth the ticket price alone. And that’s before we even consider all the hits we’ve both had as artists. See you in November.”
The tour will kick off with a series of fourteen shows across the UK and Ireland, culminating in two nights at The O2 arena in London—marking another milestone for JLS, as they will join the prestigious 21 Club of artists who have performed at the iconic venue 21 times or more.
