JLS - the boy band born of The X Factor and famous for hits like 'Everybody in Love' and 'One Shot' - announced they were reforming for a UK and Ireland tour in 2020.

Obviously, things didn’t pan out quite as expected, and the tour was pushed back in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Beat Again tour kicks off on 11 June in Belfast, before calling at places like Sheffield, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, and Liverpool, and winding up with a double header of big shows at The O2 Arena in London on 17 July.

But it’s obviously the group’s headline dates at Newcastle’s Utilita Arena on 9 and 10 July that we're most excited about.

In terms of which tickets remain eligible for which dates, if you had tickets for JLS’ originally scheduled 21 November show, they are valid for 9 July, while tickets for the original 8 December performance are good for 10 July.

The full list of 2021 JLS tour dates is as follows:

The group first formed in 2006, and went on to become runners-up of the fifth series of the ITV reality talent show The X Factor in 2008, coming second to Alexandra Burke.

Their first two singles 'Beat Again' and 'Everybody in Love' both went to number one on the UK Singles Chart.

In April 2013, JLS released a statement on their website announcing that they would be splitting up after releasing a greatest hits collection and completing their final arena tour.

"We will always remain brothers and friends and we will always be your boys," they said at the time.

What might they play?

Since it's been seven years since the group last performed live, and their comeback dates are some nine months off at the time of writing, it's difficult to say just which tracks they'll be unearthing from the back catalogue.

Sure, hits like 'Everybody in Love' and 'Beat Again' are sure to be included, but what else can fans expect to hear?

According to setlist.fm, JLS' 'average' setlist in 2013 - the last year they actively toured - looked like this:
