Background

Just a few months after releasing their fourth studio album Living for the Weekend (2013), the group announced they would release a greatest hits album and tour in support of the album.[1] The album, Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits, was announced for release in August 2014 and was described as including the group's previous Top 40 singles along with three new tracks.[2] The tour was announced as a 12-date run in support of the album.[2] The tour was the group's first in three years.

The tour played a mixture of theatres and arenas with most dates sold out at full capacity. The largest attendance for a single show was Wembley Arena, London with almost 10,000 in attendance. During the Glasgow show, Frankie Bridge had a pre-recorded segment to show she was competing on the twelfth season of Strictly Come Dancing that would start airing three days after the tour completed.[3]
