The All Fired Up Tour is the third headlining concert tour by British-Irish pop band, The Saturdays. It is their first tour of arenas and is scheduled to take place in December 2011.
Background
Whilst on The Headlines Tour in early 2011 the band revealed that they would be touring again later in the year. [1]
They also revealed that they are going to "fly" during the tour as it is a dream for the band. It was confirmed that the tickets would be released on Monday 13 June 2011 and tour would be titled All Fired Up Tour. There has been 11 dates confirmed [so far].[2] The band revealed, "Tonight we're very excited to announce some special news. Following the success of The Headlines Tour, we'll be touring the UK again this December. We're going to announce the dates very soon, so make sure to look out for them. Are you all going to come?"[1] Rochelle Wiseman spoke about the tour, saying, "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!"[3] When the band spoke to Female First about the tour they said they want the tour to be the best tour yet, and "so bigger" that the previous tours. They went on to reveal that the will be "lots of coustume changes, sparkles and dancers".
"We don’t want to be doing squats everywhere but we still want to dance and have a good time. Una’s pregnant, but don’t expect her to be sitting down at the back. Una sent us all an email the other day saying: ‘Just because I’m pregnant, it doesn’t mean I’m not going to be doing this and that. Don’t worry, guys!"[4]
They said "It's an arena tour so we're forced to go all out for a big production."[5] Mollie King said that fans should expect alot of bright colours and brightly coloured blocks for the production.[5] The Saturdays later revealed in late June Irish tour dates.[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] After Una Healy announced her pregnancy, fans began to question whether she would still appear on the tour, however she confirmed that she would still have full commitment with the band.[8] 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."[8] 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.[9] They also said that they intend to have loads of dancers througout 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.[9]
