For the first time in over a decade, pop band Girls Aloud will be taking the stage across the UK and Ireland, making all our teenage pop star fantasies come alive again. Landing tickets to the anticipated tour was our biggest concern - our second biggest? Choosing the right Girls Aloud concert outfit, of course.
Last year, Cheryl, Nadine Coyle, Kimberley Walsh and Nicola Roberts announced that they'd be taking to the stage for their reunion tour: The Girls Aloud Show. The race to get Girls Aloud tickets sparked chaos online, with some still available for fans to get their hands on now. Rather than focus on new material – we're expecting to see performances of their much-loved hits, such as Sound Of The Underground, Love Machine and Jump – a decision was made to celebrate their late band member and friend, Sarah Harding, who died following her battle with breast cancer in 2021. Cheryl said, 'Making new music without Sarah would be odd. But celebrating what we made together? Fabulous.'
The iconic 00s girl band created a lasting impression on a whole generations of girls, thanks to the lessons on noughties fashion as well as their influential hits. From cargo pants and scarf tops, to oversized hoops and dramatic chokers, Girls Aloud embodied the Y2K aesthetic almost as well as, er, we did. And, with the revival of Y2K, what better time to relive the nostalgia - even if just for one night?
From flared jeans to bandage dresses, here's what we'll be wearing to the Girls Aloud reunion tour.

Are Girls Aloud Tour Tickets On Ticketmaster?
Yes, Girls Aloud tickets are still available to purchase on Ticketmaster. But some dates on the tour have low availability, so it's better to act while they're there. Prices vary from venue to venue and depend on whether you choose to sit or stand (and where you are sat in the arena).
