JLS announce first UK tour in two years including a show at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena - how to get tickets

JLS fans, the wait is over. The band have announced a 15-date UK arena tour set to take place in October and November 2023- and they are coming to Birmingham.

After coming second in the 2008 series of the X Factor, JLS went from strength to strength recording new albums and heading out on tour. In 2013 the band announced they would be splitting up.

Eight years later, in 2021, they returned with their ‘Beat Again’ Tour which was postponed twice due to the coronavirus pandemic. In 2023, they will once again be hitting the road.

The tour, named ‘Everybody say JLS: The Hits Tour’ gets underway on October 20 in Dublin. The band will visit Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on Saturday October 28.

Announcing the tour on Twitter, the band’s official page said: “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!! Playing live and seeing our amazing fans is definitely the BEST part of being JLS, we can’t wait to see you.”
