Extra dates just announced! More tickets for Girls Alous Out of Control Tour 2009!
UK girl group Girls Aloud just hit #1 in the UK with their new album, Out of Control, and they're thanking their fans by announcing a tour of arenas in 2009. The tour begins in Belfast at The Odyssey on April 30th and continues through May 23rd, when they hit London's 02 Arena.
The 2009 "Out of Control Tour" is the group's fourth arena tour and fifth overall. They last toured the U.K. in August, ending their longest running tour, the "Tangled Up Tour," in Leeds.
"We can't wait to get back out on the road to see our fans and play the music that we love from the past albums and especially playing the new songs in those arenas next year," singer Nadine Coyle said.
