GIRL group stars The Saturdays have announced their first arena tour, set to reach the BIC on December 2.

After a sellout tour earlier this year and with the highly anticipated release of their new album this autumn, Frankie, Mollie, Una, Vanessa and Rochelle have announced their biggest tour to date.

“The thought that we are about to take on arenas sends a shiver down my spine,” Rochelle comments.

“It’s everything we've ever dreamed of as a band – and we know the end of the year is going to come around so fast. Playing an arena is a terrifying, but most exciting though,” she added.

The girls know that they’ll be performing material from their forthcoming – and as yet, unnamed, album. Although they say the first single Notorious is a good indication of what’s to come, a tougher, edgier sound.

“It’s very current,” says Una.

“We still have our pop edge, but this time around we’ve taken things a bit more dancey.”

Frankie adds: “And we want to reflect that in our live show. We want it to be like one big giant party. The best night out you can have this December!”

Currently, the UK’s biggest girl band, with over 650,000 Facebook fans and a combined one million followers on Twitter, The Saturdays have sold over two million singles and albums in the UK alone.

The Saturdays have also had nine Top 10 UK singles, including huge hits Higher feat Flo Rida, Missing You and Ego, the girls have racked up over 35 million total views on YouTube.
