JLS: The Club Is Alive 2025 Hits Tour

Autumn 2025 will see arenas across the UK and Ireland come alive with the sound of music as JLS announce details of The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour.

The 16-date tour culminates with two nights at London’s 20,000-capacity The O2, and features support from very special guest Example at all shows except for Bournemouth and Brighton.

As shown with their mammoth 2021 and 2023 headline tours, JLS can bring an electrifying atmosphere to packed arenas across the land. It’s a show packed front-to-end with classic pop bangers - including the No.1 smash hits 'Beat Again’, ‘Everybody In Love’, ‘The Club Is Alive’, ‘Love You’, ‘She Makes Me Wanna’ and many more. Factor in a whole host of other fan favourites, the boys’ irrepressible charm and slick dance moves, and a visually spectacular show, and it’s clear that JLS deliver an arena pop experience quite unlike anyone else.

JLS commented: “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!!”

Breaking through in 2008 after appearing on TV screens across the UK in the fifth series of The X Factor, JLS made it all the way to the finals – where a tense, nail-biting showdown saw them place second to soul singer Alexandra Burke.

Comprised of Aston Merrygold, Oritsé Williams, Jonathan “JB” Gill and Marvin Humes, they’d formed only a year earlier under the name UFO (which stood for “Unique Famous Outrageous). Combining the hallmark sounds of pop, urban and R&B, it wasn’t long before they renamed themselves Jack The Lad Swing, a combination of “Jack the lad” (a cheeky guy who likes the ladies) and “new jack swing” (a twist on r&b that was at its peak in the 80s and 90s). This eventually got shortened to simply JLS.

After six years following their solo paths, Aston, Oritisé, JB and Marvin announced their reunion.
