Bros announce UK tour
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 10 October 2016
Bros have announced that they will play a full UK tour next year, after their lone O2 Arena show sold out in what, we are told, was record time.
Before we go any further, I feel it’s important that we remember two things:
1) Bros once headlined Wembley Stadium
2) Bros is, was and always will be Matt and Luke Goss
They may have mentioned those points once or twice last week, but I thought you might want a reminder. It’s very important that you don’t forget either of those two things.
Anyway, tickets for the O2 Arena show went on sale at 11am on Friday, and 42 minutes later they’d announced a tour “due to overwhelming demand”. Apparently the demand caught them completely by surprise, which is why it took them a whole 42 minutes to book and announce the extra dates. They were not – I repeat – not, waiting to see how the one-off date sold before putting the rest of the shows on sale.
“This has been the fastest sell out in history for any Live Nation show at The O2 and is utterly amazing”, said Live Nation’s Andy Copping, stressing the need for more shows.
Matt and Luke issued a joint statement, saying: “We’re so excited to play these shows, we wish it was next week. Summer can’t come soon enough”.
They probably whispered something under their breath about Wembley Stadium and Bros always being just them too.
So, the Bros 2017 reunion tour is now a thing. It’s a reunion of all the members of Bros, of course. All of them except that one who doesn’t really count. Craig something. Who can remember? Doesn’t matter. He didn’t play Wembley Stadium with the actual members of the duo.
These are the dates:
19 Aug: London, O2 Arena
20 Aug: London, O2 Arena
22 Aug: Manchester Arena
23 Aug: Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena
25 Aug: Birmingham, Barclaycard Arena
26 Aug: Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena
27 Aug: Glasgow, SSE Hydro
