Although it wasn’t a very early night for some as about 25mins later, both Mollie and Rochelle tweeted about their evenings.
Speculation is rife that it’s tour related, is that realistic? I understand why people say it’s for the tour, but we’ve been waiting for the ‘soon’ tour dates for months and months now and they’ve only just got around to planning a photo shoot for it?
Or is it just a bit of overhype for what is the single related photo shoot? Or an album re-release photo shoot?
Happy New Year TeamSats! It’s now 2014, and well it’s pretty much the same as 2013 so far?
I’m sure many of you have set resolutions, about eating less, or getting healthy, or a combination of them both. Or it might be something a lot less serious and fun! Either way I hope you’ve not broken it already, it’s only day 6 after all!
I know the big talking points right now are about the hints from the mailer, which state both ‘new single’ and ‘2014 tour’ – which is a lot to take in.
Obviously ‘Not Giving Up’ has been ‘album only’ on iTunes for a while now, which to a lot of people is just screaming out – next single – and as I touched on my previous post the song is appearing on advance single release dates, set for Early March right now. So we will wait and see.
The next debate is obviously about any tour. In the greatest respect to our favourite group, they aren’t going to pull a Beyoncé and announce a tour, and then go on tour 3 months later. Today new 2014 tours have been announced, and they are for dates in October. I’ve been saying a while I foresee an Arena Tour for the girls, but not until Autumn/Winter 2014. I’ll be glad to be proven wrong, but it’s looking increasingly more likely this will be the case.
Quick roundup of the New Year’s news. Mollie has been sunning herself in LA, cooking on the BBQ in a bikini and generally making us feel very unfit. Rochelle and family have been enjoying a lovely exotics holiday. Una has spent time in Ireland as we await her appearance on ITV’s Splash! Vanessa and Gary have been spending time in Paris and Frankie, well she’s got a new born to be looking after!
I promise stuff will be happening soon, just anyone who was expecting instant gratification from the rumoured tour dates and single news might be feeling a tad disappointed, just remember good things come to those who wait! Just ask Mollie and her BBQ!
There has been a lot of twitter rumblings that the girls where set to announce or even put on sale a tour over this Christmas period – mainly due to the competition to win a Pair Of Tickets/Meet & Greet with the girls with their twitter competition. Since then the girls have been confirmed to be playing 3 summer shows in June …
Una has been talking to the Irish Independent about the girls plans for 2014, and although she confirms the girls will be touring in 2014, it sees it might be later in 2014 as they want to give time to Frankie’s return and so that she’s not leaving new-born Parker behind too early.
The Saturdays’ singer Una Foden has said the band will be back out in force at the end of 2014.
The five – Una, Frankie Sandford, Mollie King, Rochelle Humes and Vanessa White – recently appeared together performing on Strictly Come Dancing.
But Una said that Frankie – mum to new baby Parker – wouldn’t be back properly until later next year.
“Parker’s only six weeks old, so while Frankie was happy to come back for that performance, she’ll only back with us properly in 2014,” Una said.
Asked about rumours that the band would soon embark on a tour, she said: “We won’t be going out just yet, as we’ve only just had Frankie back performing with us.
“But we’re looking forward to getting back out there in 2014. We’ve mentioned a couple of shows that we’re doing in the summer, and we are definitely touring, but it will be later in the year.”
Una was the first of The Saturdays to have a baby – but she’s now been joined by Frankie and Rochelle, who had her baby in May.
“We would never sacrifice our personal lives for our careers, or vice versa,” Una said, adding: “We’re so lucky that we can combine both, and we’re very supportive of each other.”
The Irish singer said that, at first, the band were worried about individuals doing their own thing but that now they felt free to try new stuff.
“We didn’t want to do anything else (individually) too soon in case it looked like we were stepping away from the band, but we’ve been together now for six years, and it’s something we feel comfortable doing alongside the band,” she said.
Comment: I know the mailer is indicating that the tour is ‘soon’, I’ve always said IF its an arena tour (which it has to be, surely?) a group like The Saturdays will need 6months+ selling time anyway. I’ve always seen the tour to be a late summer/early autumn affair (So say Sept/Oct) so an announcement in January, allowing 6 months odd worth of sales, all sort of fits in. I’m only saying this from experience, not with prior knowledge.
Hey all! It’s been hectic at work the last week or so, so haven’t got around to updating the site. Remember to follow us on Twitter @TheSatsCoUk for any breaking news 🙂
The girls are seemingly on their Christmas Break’s now, we don’t expect any major news until the new year now, we might be wrong, but it would be strange for any major news over a holiday period. I know a lot of twitter talk has been about a tour announcement on Xmas Day, it’s possible but most tour venues and e-mail promo shots have now ended until Jan 10th, so it wouldn’t be the greatest time to announce one but you never know.
I was at the WeLovePop Club last weekend, and had a word with Adam, who was very keen to play Not Giving Up, so maybe a early hint? We shall see!
We start some Saturdays news that Una has confirmed she is taking part in the new series of ITV’s Splash! With Tom Daley by posting this picture:
Splash starts on ITV1 in the new year. We will have Una’s appearance on the site for you to view 🙂
Mollie and Jordan when Ice Skating in London the other day. I’ve posted a few pictures of them on the ice below! Mollie seems to keep going to places the day after I’ve been there, next time Mollie text me so we can co-ordinate times 😉
Talking Tours again, I leave you all pondering this ….
Humes recently returned to the group after having her first baby, a daughter named Alaia-Mai.
Her husband Marvin Humes, who found fame on The X Factor with JLS, has announced that he will be co-presenting BBC One talent show The Voice.
“I think he’s still very much an X Factor man,” said Rochelle Humes.
“I think it’s just a different career change for him as a presenting role. It came up at a good time.
“He actually spoke to Simon Cowell and the team and told them he was going to do it before he took the job, so all is cool there. It’s just an exciting new job for him.”
Humes also said they would both be returning to host ITV’s This Morning.
“It’s funny because I’m doing a little more presenting and more TV,” she said. “But I’ve actually always done it.
“I did that before The Saturdays so it’s come up as things have got better with us. I’ve just said yes to stuff and we all like to try things on our own now and again.”
Their fourth studio album, Living For the Weekend, was released on 14 October.
“When we’ve been credited we’ve really been involved in the writing and I think that’s important,” she said.
Hey all! Just a quick message to say I’m back from my mini-break. Girls Aloud was pretty amazing, thanks to everyone who asked questions about it on Twitter, hope I answered what I can! If you are going expect a good night 🙂
Not much news to report on the last few days, Mollie has been over in LA overseeing her song being recording with AJ from the Backstreet Boys (as reported previously) – seemingly being produced by The Jam – who have worked on the new material for the new Saturdays album too!
Chasing The Saturdays airs in the UK tonight (but not in America I believe, the next episode is due there on 3rd March) so make sure you tune into E! at 10pm to catch it!
Also – in US news – the US Billboard Charts now count youtube views towards their singles chart. So if you are watching ‘What About Us’ on youtube PLEASE make sure you watch it on their official VEVO site, and not someone who has just downloaded it and reuploaded it, as only official youtube/vevo plays count to the charts. So if you are bored this afternoon give it a spin on VEVO 🙂
The only news item I could find that is worthy of posting was an interview the girls did with Orange of which the most exciting part (for me is)
What will 2013 hold for you and can we expect a new UK tour at some point? Fingers crossed…
We definitely hope to be going out on tour again this year, so stay tuned about that. We’re now finishing up our album which comes out later this year, plus we’re planning some trips to brand new territories like Germany and Australia which is all really exciting. It’s going to be a big year for us Sats.
Fingers crossed for a tour this year then. We have our tickets for Scarborough in August, so hopefully will see a few of you there! 🙂
Need to get this as a New Year’s promise or something to put a post up weekly for these flips! THIS week’s however – which is viewable on http://www.thesaturdays.co.uk/ – is a bit special as it includes Matt at some point! Those eagle eyed and aware of what he looks like might spot him, otherwise if you have been to the Wembley show you might spot yourselves as well!
I don’t want to completely embarrass him but 1 minute in you should be able to spot him… 😉
Update: seems they are finally uploading the flips to YouTube themselves again … Catch the flip below! 🙂

First off congratulations to them! With Una pregnant this was really the only right thing left to do! I wish them all the best 🙂 Below, and warning that this IS a bit of a tour spoiler perhaps (but then again it is over so), is a video of Una’s announcement on stage at Wembley just under a week ago, followed by a performance of “Wish I Didn’t Know”. (bit of a strange song choice perhaps after the announcement as I’m sure her and the crowd are thrilled to know but … LOL)

Thanks to the people in the chitchat box for pointing me out to this video 🙂
