The Get Weird Tour

Background

Little Mix released "Black Magic" as the lead single of their third studio album Get Weird in May 2015. On 17 July 2015, the group announced an extensive arena tour to commence in March 2016 in the United Kingdom and Ireland. 21 extra shows in the United Kingdom and Ireland were added due to high demand. In October 2015, the group announced dates in Oceania, making this the first time the group would headline a world tour. In December 2015, Asian dates were announced. In February 2016, further European dates were announced, including shows in Sweden, France and Spain. Gigs in Cologne and Milan were moved to bigger venues as a result of the high demand, as well as the extension of the UK tour. The tour started in March 2016 with Nathan Sykes, Jagmac and Joey Devries supporting in Europe and Jai Waetford supporting in Oceania. The Sam Willows were the support act in Asia and Philippa Hanna was the tour support in Europe, as well as the re-arranged Belfast gigs.

Critical reception

The group received positive reviews for the tour's first concert in the Motorpoint Arena in Cardiff. Lewis Corner of Digital Spy gave the concert four out of five stars, writing: "And for all the big spectacle, towering ad libs and swift costume changes, Little Mix never let the energy dip. 'This is a blimmin' hard show, innit?' says Leigh Anne, but you'd never consider it from the way they make it look so effortless." [...] "the only magic here is a combination of their pop brilliance and their ability to give it the big stage show it deserves – and it will most likely be the best one you'll see this year." Rachel Mainwaring of Wales Online was very positive, giving the concert a rating of five-out-of-five-stars, declaring: "These girls can sing and these girls can dance. And everything about the show was loud, brash and positive."

Get Weird Tour Live

The making of the Get Weird Tour DVD was confirmed by Jesy, who spoke with the girls on KMFM on 15 April 2016. She revealed that their upcoming date at The SSE Arena, Wembley on 22 April 2016 will be filmed for the DVD, which will likely be released later this year, with the participation of rapper Lethal Bizzle. The band announced that the DVD would come with the deluxe edition of their upcoming album, Glory Days, released on 18 November 2016.
