“This will be the first time we play The O2,” Sharleen Spiteri said of the date. “We’re all incredibly excited and it’s definitely going to be a night to remember.”

Known for their enthralling, high-energy shows, the run will see the band play a set of classic hits from their recently released The Very Best Of 1989 – 2023. Support across the dates come from the incredible KT Tunstall who Rockshot Magazine also went to check out this year as she delivered her latest record NUT in full at London’s Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
