Little Mix concert chronology

The Get Weird Tour is the third concert tour by British girl group Little Mix, in support of their third studio album, Get Weird. The tour was announced in July 2015.[1] It began on March 13, 2016 in Cardiff and will end on August 27, 2016 in Cambridge. It is scheduled to take place in Europe, Oceania and Asia with a total of 59 shows.

Background

After selling over 7 million records worldwide and scoring two number one singles and two platinum albums with DNA (2012) and Salute (2013), Little Mix released "Black Magic" as the lead-single of their third studio album, Get Weird in May 2015. On July 17, 2015, the group announced an extensive arena tour to commence in March 2016 in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[2] 21 extra shows in the United Kingdom and Ireland were added due to high demand. In October 2015, the group announced dates in Oceania, making this the first time the group would headline a world tour.[3]In December 2015, Asian dates were announced. In February 2016, further European dates were announced, including shows in Sweden, France and Spain. The tour started in March 2016 with Nathan Sykes, Jagmac and Joey Devires supporting in Europe and Jai Waetford supporting in Oceania. [4]

Critical reception

The group received positive reviews for the tour's first concert in the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the concert four out of five stars, writing: "And for all the big spectacle, towering ad libs and swift costume changes, Little Mix never let the energy dip. 'This is a blimmin' hard show, innit?' says Leigh Anne, but you'd never consider it from the way they make it look so effortless." [...] "the only magic here is a combination of their pop brilliance and their ability to give it the big stage show it deserves - and it will most likely be the best one you'll see this year."[4] Rachel Mainwaring of Wales Online was very positive, giving the concert a rating of five-out-of-five-stars, declaring: "These girls can sing and these girls can dance. And everything about the show was loud, brash and positive."[5]
