Little Boys Blue
Just like every other outing they’ve done in their homeland, Blue’s latest journey, which starts November 4 in Belfast, is pretty much already sold out.
Which is why they’ve gone and added even more dates, doubling and even tripling up on shows in London, Cardiff, Brighton, Sheffield, Newcastle, Glasgow, Birmingham, Nottingham and Manchester.
In fact, a mere two cities – those in Ireland – are the only ones that will host the band for a simple one-night gig. The rest on the itinerary get Blue for several nights, either in a row or spaced out.
Not ones to leave out their friends on the other side of the world, Blue have also announced a three-stop, five-show tour of Japan for February. And they’ve left room in the schedule to pen in additional dates if needed. Aren’t they nice?
Like many Brit pop groups, Blue are largely unknown in North America, but that doesn’t mean they don’t have a rabid fanbase in the U.K., Asia and Europe.
Although they’ve only been around since about 2001, the quartet has already racked up two No. 1 albums, several music awards – including some BRITs, Smash Hits Awards and others – and sold out an arena tour.
The boys have a new single out, “Guilty,” and a third album to follow in November.
