Girls Aloud will reunite for a stadium tour across the UK next year in memory of their late bandmate Sarah Harding.

The band announced the tour on Wednesday evening with a video of Nadine Coyle, Cheryl, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh reuniting at a drive-in cinema where clips of the band performing their hit tracks including Sound Of The Underground, Love Machine, Call The Shots and Biology were played.

The tour will be in May and June 2024, a post from Kimberley Walsh on X, formerly Twitter, said.

"A celebration of Sarah, our music & our incredible fans…We can’t wait to sing & dance with you again," she wrote.

The tour will kick off on May 18 in Dublin, before heading to Manchester, Cardiff and Newcastle at the end of the month.

The band will travel to Aberdeen and Glasgow in June, as well as Nottingham, Leeds and Birmingham.

They will perform two nights at London’s O2 before closing the tour at the Liverpool M&S Bank Arena on June 29.

It comes after the death of Harding in 2021 at the age of 39, after revealing she had breast cancer which had spread to other parts of her body.

Earlier this month it was reported that the girl band are set to release their first single in more than 10 years.

The British girl group are believed to be have shot a music video in tribute to Sarah Harding.

A source told The Sun the foursome had secretly got together to shoot the video which is said to see them play “superhero characters complete with Wonder Woman-style costumes and capes” at a North London studio.

Nicola Roberts told Good Morning Britain in September that she was still in denial over the "harrowing" death of Sarah Harding two years on.

The 37-year-old was asked by host Ben Shepherd how she was coping following Harding’s passing: “I can’t believe it’s two years this month since we lost her and grief’s a funny thing, isn’t it?

"It hits you in waves and I bet there are moments where she pops up into your mind and you want to phone her up because something’s happened and you just want to have a laugh with her. How have you dealt with it?"
