JLS are set to perform in both Dublin and Belfast as part of their tour promoting the new album 'Outta the World'.

The band, who currently have over 600,000 followers on Twitter and over 1.7 million likes on Facebook, have propelled to become one of the UK's biggest boybands in a generation, after coming second in the 2008 X-Factor.

The 2008 X Factor is commonly referenced as one of the most successful ever, producing the likes of Alexandra Burke, Diana Vickers, Ruth Lorenzo and Laura White. The boyband are recognised as a key component of this success, selling over three million albums.

The new tour is a crucial one for the boys, who are determined to show that their success isn’t a one-off fluke. Band member Marvin commented: "We're still a young band with a lot to prove…We had to prove ourselves every week on The X Factor, then we had to prove we were proper recording artists with our first album. Now we want to prove that wasn't just a fluke, we're here to stay."

The band play at the Odyssey Arena on Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th April, and at Dublin's O2 Arena on Monday 9th.
