ITV has announced that it will air The Girls Aloud Show: Live at The O2 – recorded in London during the band’s sell-out arena tour earlier this year which saw them play to over 300,000 people. The show will feature concert highlights plus behind-the-scenes footage when it airs as a one hour special later this autumn on ITV1. The full extended arena show will also be available to stream on ITVX.

It’s been 22 years since Girls Aloud were voted the winners of Popstars: The Rivals. To celebrate this milestone and honour their bandmate Sarah Harding, who tragically died from cancer in 2021, Girls Aloud embarked on an arena tour of the UK and Ireland in May and June of 2024.

This film from one of the shows from their run of five nights at London’s The O2 offers another chance for fans to enjoy the show if they missed being there in-person, as well as letting audiences relive their favourite moments when the full show lands on ITVX.

“This show is a massive celebration of our journey over the last 22 years. It was a great chance for us to showcase our catalogue of music that we’re so proud of, and to celebrate and remind people of our incredible Sarah,” said Nicola Roberts.

“It was pure joy and nostalgia at every show. It was amazing to look out at the crowd every night, especially in the moments when we all remembered Sarah together,” commented Cheryl Tweedy.

“The Girls Aloud Show is a unique experience because there’s so much excitement and camaraderie in the room – we’re all in it together. Our fans got so creative with their costumes – they came as different eras of Girls Aloud,” said Nadine Coyle.

“It’s exciting to think that anyone who didn’t manage to see The Girls Aloud Show when we toured the UK is going to have this chance to share it with us now,” said Kimberley Walsh.

Katie Rawcliffe, Head of Entertainment & Daytime Commissioning ITV added: “We are so excited to be bringing The Girls Aloud Show to ITV audiences later this year – the arena tour was hotly anticipated and an enormous success. Working with the band on bringing something extra for the fans has been a joy and we look forward to both the highlights and the full tour coming to ITV1 and ITVX very soon.”
