Hear’Say and Liberty X are reuniting for a joint arena tour, celebrating 25 years since the groups were formed on Popstars, with the first show taking place in Dublin, followed by Belfast.
The 13-date tour begins in April in Dublin’s 3Arena on 17 April 2027, before visiting The O2 Belfast on 18 April. They will then visit Bournemouth, Nottingham, Brighton, Cardiff, Birmingham, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Liverpool.
Twenty-five years ago, Hear’Say and Liberty X burst onto the scene after becoming the winners and runners-up of Popstars TV talent show, helping to usher in a new era of reality TV music stars and paving the way for acts including One Direction, Little Mix, Girls Aloud and JLS.
The arena tour – titled Popstars: The Originals – will see the groups perform all their hits and will mark their first performances together.
The Hear’Say reunion features four of their original members: Danny Foster, Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw and Noel Sullivan and Liberty X return with their entire original line-up: Michelle Heaton, Jessica Taylor, Tony Lundon, Kevin Simm and Kelli Young.
Speaking about the tour Hear’Say said: “Coming back together after 25 years is something that’s incredibly special to all of us. It’s a chance to celebrate an unforgettable chapter in our lives, reconnect with each other and relive so many amazing memories. To be sharing the stage with Liberty X makes this celebration even more special, and it feels like the perfect way to mark such an incredible milestone.
“We are so excited to be celebrating with everyone and honestly can’t wait to reconnect with the Hear’say fans. To relive those amazing memories together and create some new ones along the way is going to be very special. We are counting down the days and can’t wait to see you there.”
Liberty X added: “It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Popstars changed all of our lives. We are thrilled to be heading out on tour with Hear’Say to celebrate where it all began. It feels like the perfect way to mark such an incredible milestone, bringing the music, the memories and all the energy back to the stage.
“Most of all, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re discovering these songs all over again, we can’t wait to sing, dance and make some brand new memories together. See you on tour!”
