Staged and choreographed by William Baker (Kylie, Jamiroquai), the tour visits 28 European cities (including 11 UK arena dates) before heading to North America, South America, Australia and Asia later in the year. The group recently renewed their partnership with Giorgio Armani, who will design the wardrobe for the tour.

'The Promise' has now topped the chart in an incredible 9 countries (including Spain, Holland & Portugal), shipping over 2 million copies worldwide. The album is currently top 10 in 20 countries including the UK, where 'The Promise' has shot back up to no. 5 after last weekend's triumphant X Factor performance.

The group recently performed at London's St. Luke's Church backed by the full BBC orchestra. The concert will be broadcast in full on Radio 2 this Friday (December 12th) as part of their Friday music night series.
