Just a few months after releasing their fourth studio album Living for the Weekend (2013), the group announced they would release a Greatest Hits album and tour in support for the album.[1] The tour was the group's first in three years. The tour played a mixture of theatres and arenas with most dates sold out at full capacity. The largest attendance for a single show was Wembley Arena, London with almost 10,000 in attendance. During the Glasgow show, Frankie Bridge had a pre-recorded segment to show she was competing on the twelfth season of Strictly Come Dancing that would start airing three days after the tour completed.[2]
