British boy band sensation JLS have thrilled fans across the UK and Ireland by announcing their highly anticipated ‘The Club Is Alive: 2025 Hits Tour,’ set to kick off later this year.
The tour, featuring 16 electrifying dates, will see Aston Merrygold, JB Gill, Marvin Humes, and Oritsé Williams bring their catalogue of chart-topping hits back to arenas nationwide, including a much-anticipated stop in Belfast.
The quartet, who first shot to fame as runners-up on The X Factor in 2008, will perform at The SSE Arena, Belfast, on Monday, 10 November 2025.
This marks a return to the Northern Irish capital for the band, whose previous visits have left fans buzzing with excitement. Joining JLS as a very special guest for the Belfast gig—and the entire tour—will be rapper and singer-songwriter Example, promising an unforgettable night of pop and urban energy.
Tickets for the Belfast show, as well as the full tour, will go on sale next Friday, 28 March 2025, at 10:00am via Ticketmaster and other authorised outlets.
Given the band’s history of sell-out shows, fans are urged to act quickly to secure their spot. The SSE Arena performance is expected to feature iconic hits such as ‘Beat Again,’ ‘Everybody in Love,’ and ‘The Club Is Alive,’ alongside newer tracks from their 2021 album 2.0, ensuring a setlist that spans their remarkable career.
JLS’s last major outing, the 2021 ‘Beat Again’ reunion tour, was a resounding success, with demand so high that the initial 16-date schedule expanded to 29 shows, entertaining over 350,000 fans across the UK and Ireland.
Reflecting on their return to the stage, the band said, "We couldn’t be more excited to announce another UK and Ireland arena tour! Playing live and seeing our amazing fans is definitely the best part of being JLS. We can’t wait to hit the road again."
The Belfast gig follows the tour’s opening night in Dublin at the 3Arena on 11 November 2025, cementing the band’s strong connection with Irish audiences. The SSE Arena, a venue renowned for hosting major acts, will provide the perfect backdrop for JLS’s signature blend of stellar vocals, eye-catching choreography, and infectious charisma.
Local radio stations Cool FM and Downtown Radio have already begun hyping the event, with posts on X calling it ‘gig news’ that’s got Belfast buzzing.
Since their debut, JLS have sold over 10 million records, notched up five UK number one singles, and earned accolades including two BRIT Awards and five MOBO Awards. After a hiatus in 2013, their 2020 reunion proved their enduring popularity, and this latest tour promises to build on that momentum.
For Belfast fans, the 10 November date is a highlight not to be missed. With Example adding his dynamic flair to the bill, the night is set to be a celebration of JLS’s legacy and a testament to their status as one of the UK’s most beloved pop acts.
Mark your calendars—JLS are back, and the club is most definitely alive!
