Tours & Events

This is a collection of news from The Saturdays’ tours and other events.

Interview: Daniela Brooker

@danielabrooker is someone you will be hearing a lot more from. Not only is she being touted as one of the new emerging UK talents, she is also one of the support acts who are joining our girls on their ‘All Fired Up’ Arena Tour. We have spoken to Daniela about herself, and the tour, and what you should expect from her set.

TheSatsCoUk: Hi Daniela, how would you describe your sound to the members of TeamSats who might have not heard much from you?
Daniela: I would call it pop but with elements of rock and RNB!

TheSatsCoUk: Sounds exciting! Should any new fans expect an album release in the near future?
Daniela: yes, I am looking to have a completed album by mid to end of the new year! Im so excited for people to hear it!

TheSatsCoUk: What should everyone going to the ‘All Fired Up’ tour expect from your set?
Daniela: You can expect an upbeat vibrant show with hopefully something to suit everyone’s taste! You can expect to be listening to a stripped acoustic song one second to ten be followed by a big dance track which I will be forcing audience members to dance to!

TheSatsCoUk: It seems the media are hyping you up as the ‘next big thing’ in the UK/US music scene. Do you see this as added pressure or is this something that inspires you onto achieving greater things?
Daniela: I don’t like to think about those big introductions, I just do my thing and hope people like it! it definitely inspires mr to work hard and I feel as if I have to put on a good show.

TheSatsCoUk: You’ve just finished a US promotional tour. Did that go well? UK acts seem to be taking off in the US recently with a little help from the likes of Adele, is this a market you would like to break into or are you concentrating on the UK scene first?
Daniela: I love the music scene in the US! It is so diverse! I do of course want to break the UK but after touring in the US it has really made me want to break through stateside! anywhere that will have me though – I’l be happy!!!!!

TheSatsCoUk: Who are your influences?
Daniela: Big singers such as Etta James and Christina Aguilera really have influenced me to want to be a singer! Musically with my own material ‘No Doubt’ – Gwen Stefani’s band – have been a massive influence!!

TheSatsCoUk: You are so young to have had a crack into the US – How did this happen?
Daniela: I was just wanting to get experience on the road and play to different crowds from a over and the opportunity ores ted itself as i was asked to be the face for hard rocks pinktober. From there other shows were booked also and the tour happened! I had the most incredible time.

TheSatsCoUk: Tell us about your new single?
Daniela: My new single is called ‘Forget About Yesterday’ it’s a track that is aimed for the clubs but is also chilled enough to listen to at home! It’s about forgetting your troubles! People lives can be so hectic, that music can be a great escape so I wanted to write something light and feel good!

TheSatsCoUk: You write a lot of your own music- Tell us about this process?
Daniela: I have a few different producers I work with! So I usually go into the studio and begin to wrote lyrics and a top line melody and then the producer will give me some direction for example I often get ‘Daniela don’t write such romantic lyrics’ haha I can’t help it! And then afterwards we will ad the music and then forms the song!

TheSatsCoUk: Do you see a difference in a US audience to a UK audience- now that you have done both?
Daniela: The audience taste is very different! I find America likes my tunes that are slightly more stripped back, whereas the UK wants the hard club tunes start to finish! I love both so I’m happy either way!

TheSatsCoUk: You were involved with London Fashion Week – how do you feel fashion plays into music- the girls love fashion?
Daniela: I love fashion, I think it’s such a great to express yourself and feel good! I definitely did that wearing the right outfit gets me into the mood to get on stage! I love dramatic stage outfits! My dress for the tour I actually bought when I was in the states, so i can’t wait to dance about in it!!

TheSatsCoUk: Do you have a favourite The Saturdays song?
Daniela: I love their last single ‘All Fired up’ such a good track to get me in the mood to go out! the title makes me excited too for the tour!

TheSatsCoUk: This is The Saturdays first full scale arena tour. Have you performed to such big audiences before? Any pre-tour nerves?
Daniela:  I have never played venues this size, I cannot wait.! I actually don’t et very nervous before hand! When in about to go on I’l feel it in my stomach but as soon as I’m on stag an the music starts I always seem to relax!

TheSatsCoUk: Daniela, thanks for your time. Any last messages for the members of TeamSats before you hit the tour on 2nd December?
Daniela: I am so exited to be supporting The Saturdays and I cannot wait for the all fired up tour! Make sure to download my new single ‘Forget About Yesterday’ in January! see you soon, DB xxx

I’m sure everyone will give Daniela a warm welcome on the ‘All Fired Up’ tour.  You can learn more about Daniela from her official website

Headlines Tour – Rihanna Medley

@thesaturdays continue to tease us with the release of ‘On Your Radar’- out sooner than you can imagine! They are now teasing us with this from the Tour DVD which comes with those who are ordered the ‘fan edition’ of the album.

What the girls take on Rihanna, and doing a great job I must say, at the Headlines Tour from London’s Hammersmith Apollo in February.

All Fired Up Tour – Wembley change

Thanks to those who have brought this to my attention. It seems a few people this morning have had e-mails saying their seats for the Wembley Arena show have been changed. A look on Ticketmaster reveals a new seating chart, that suggests the stage has been moved forward into the venue, as shown below:

They are now using the back blocks (which in previous seating pictures had been shaded out) – does this stage/layout change suggest the London show is being recorded for potential future release? Just from a TV perspective it will look better if the whole venue is being used – rather than the empty blocks that where appearing on the previous seating chart.

Rest assured if you have got the e-mail you are no further away from the stage than you where previously, as the stage has been moved forward 🙂

‘Turn Myself In’ …. from the Headlines Tour

@thesaturdays did a twitter vote this evening so fans could hear ‘Turn Myself In’ – as its NOT set to appear on the new album, ‘On Your Radar’ I think everyone was expecting to be given a nice audio file as a bonus song for the members of TeamSats .. instead we get the Headlines Tour Video instead .. so please do enjoy this video 🙂

The girls to play Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball

@TheSaturdays have just been announced to be performing at Capital FM’s annual Jingle Bell Ball, the girls are playing on the SUNDAY – 4th December. This is the gap between their All Fired Up Tour shows in Liverpool (3rd December) and Cardiff (5th December)

Tickets for the event go on sale on Monday. The event takes place at London’s o2 Arena.

Rimmel London will be present at all 13 concerts and in the programme and online will feature a recent shoot of the girls getting the London Look.

There will be joint competitions running as of mid November to win concert tickets, meet and greets with the band and goody bags containing all the products needed to ‘Get The Saturdays Look!’

We interview Oh My!

We have spoken to @OhMyOfficial – the girls are supporting The Saturdays on their forthcoming ‘All Fired Up’ arena tour, we spoke to the girls about what you are likely to expect to hear from them on tour.

TheSatsCoUk: Hey girls, can you introduce yourselves to the lovely TeamSats?
Oh My!: “We are Alex and Jade, and together we make up ‘Oh My!'”

TheSatsCoUk: How would you describe your sound?
Oh My!: “Pop with a dose of attitude… That’s our tag line, but besides that it’s fresh and different to what everyone else is doing! So hopefully there will be a space for us in the UK music scene”

TheSatsCoUk: This sounds very exciting, so should fans expect an album release in the future?
Oh My!: “They should indeed, it will be early next year… And it will be worth the wait! It’s gonna be full of fun pop, with songs that everyone can relate to!”

TheSatsCoUk: Any big-named collaborations coming up on the album?
Oh My!: “Our debut single Dirty Dancer features up and coming rapper Scrufizzer. As for any other collaborations, it’s possible… but it’s a secret!”

TheSatsCoUk: What can The Saturdays fans expect from your set on tour?
Oh My!:  “We’ll we’re gonna get them ‘all fired up’ ready for when The Sats come on, so they should expect a cardio workout! We like to get the crowd jumping. Lots of fun and free t-shirts for the best dancers!”

TheSatsCoUk: Example backs you girls, but he has a tainted history with The Saturdays. This isn’t going to cause any backstage rivalaries on tour?
Oh My!: “NOOOO! Of course not, we’re sure the girls will agree that you take people as you find them. The girls were lovely when we met for the first time and we’re really excited to be touring the UK with them. We love Example too, and he’s really supportive of us… He thinks it wicked that we’re on The Sats tour, so we think any past beef was all really light hearted.”

TheSatsCoUk: Girl groups are currently exploding on the UK scene, is this a case of ‘girl power’ reborn?
Oh My!: “Can we just say- Girl Power never goes away! We’re just reminding people it’s here. The ‘All Fired Up’ tour is gonna be Girl Power to the max!”

TheSatsCoUk: We agree! The tour is going to be awesome and we are happy you are part of it! Any last messages for TeamSats?
Oh My!: Everybody get ‘Kicking and Screaming’ and ‘Dirty Dancer’ so you can sing along with us on the night… 🙂 Oh My! Let’s Go!

Huge thanks to Alex and Jade and their team for making this Interview possible! Remember that Oh My!’s new single Dirty Dancer is released on November 14th, and you can obviously catch the girls on The Saturdays ‘All Fired Up’ tour which kicks off in Bournemouth on 2nd December!
