Background
Whilst on The Headlines Tour in early 2011 the band revealed that they would be touring again later in the year. [1] The tour dates were announced on the band's official website in June 2011[2] and originally consisted of eleven shows across the United Kingdom. It was later announced that the tour was to travel to Belfast and Dublin[3] taking the total number of dates to thirteen.
"I am overwhelmed by all of your wonderfully positive and kind well wishes. Thank you all soooo much. So much love, but just to reassure all Saturdays fans its all systems go and I will be remaining fully committed to the band and our Tour in December."

Rochelle Wiseman said "The thought that we are about to take on arenas sends a shiver down my spine, 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 thought!"[5] When the band spoke to Female First about the tour they said they want it to be their best tour yet and that there will be "lots of costume changes, sparkles and dancers". They said "It's an arena tour so we're forced to go all out for a big production."[6] Mollie King said that fans should expect a lot of bright colours and brightly coloured blocks for the production.[6] Una Healy said about the tour; "Well the tour is not until December but we’ve been busy auditioning dancers and we’re planning to discuss choreography in the next few weeks. We’re really busy with the album at the moment and that’s due out in November so it’s a busy time and we’re just trying to fit it all in."[7]
The revelation of Una Healy's pregnancy in September 2011 meant fans began to question whether she would still appear on the tour. Healy, however, has confirmed that she will remain fully committed to the band, including the tour.[8][9][10] Mollie King also revealed; "Una is so determined to do the tour – there is no way she’d want to drop out. She might want a few extra hours’ sleep but people will have come to see the five of us and we are going to give them the best show possible."[10] According to the band they will be introducing out the new album on the tour so all songs will be fresh, however they did say they will perform their old classics for the fans.[11] They also said that they intend to have loads of dancers throughout the tour, loads of visuals and they said they will be getting involved in all the creative meetings and making sure they are styled up as a unit.[11]
