Last updated 8th Oct 2026
Way back in the early 2000s the TV show Popstars produced two groups, Hear’Say and Liberty X out of thousands of hopefuls. Now nearly 25 years later and both bands have reunited to announce a joint arena tour.
Starting in Bournemouth on 20th April, the bands will play at venues across the UK, ending with one night in Liverpool on 9th May.
The bands announced the exciting news on social media at 8am on Thursday 8th October, writing: 'Introducing… Popstars: The originals!
'We’re all coming together for the first time ever. Hear’Say and Liberty X joining forces with our joint arena tour 🎶
'We’re so excited for this. Sign up via the link in our bio for pre-sale tickets!' (sic)
Speaking about the tour, Hear’Say said: "Coming back together after 25 years is something that’s incredibly special to all of us. It’s a chance to celebrate an unforgettable chapter in our lives, reconnect with each other and relive so many amazing memories. To be sharing the stage with Liberty X makes this celebration even more special, and it feels like the perfect way to mark such an incredible milestone.
"We are so excited to be celebrating with everyone and honestly can’t wait to reconnect with the Hear’Say fans. To relive those amazing memories together and create some new ones along the way is going to be very special. We are counting down the days and can’t wait to see you there.”
Liberty X added: "It’s hard to believe it’s been 25 years since Popstars changed all of our lives. We are thrilled to be heading out on tour with Hear’Say to celebrate where it all began. It feels like the perfect way to mark such an incredible milestone, bringing the music, the memories and all the energy back to the stage.
"Most of all, we can’t wait to celebrate with all of you. Whether you’ve been with us since day one or you’re discovering these songs all over again, we can’t wait to sing, dance and make some brand new memories together. See you on tour!"
Following their success on Popstars Hear’Say went on to have two UK Number 1s including ‘Pure and Simple’ and ‘The Way To You Love’.
