HAVING seen their debut single, Beat Again, go straight into the charts at number one this weekend, Britain’s favourite new boy band JLS announced a full UK tour which will see them arrive at the BIC on February 10 next year.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday, July 24, and BIC bosses are expecting brisk action at the box office.

In a statement announcing the tour, the band have said: “We are a boy band who have gone straight to number one.

“It is a big statement but that is what we are.

We have got a few bottles of champagne. We'll wake up with sore heads but it is well deserved because we have worked so hard over the last two years.

“It's amazing.”
