[edit] History

Despite being the winners of the talent show, Popstars: The Rivals (which required live performances), Girls Aloud tend not to sing live; most of their performances are mimed. On the What Will The Neighbours Say? Live tour, however, many of the songs were sung live, with a live band. After the successful Popstars: The Rivals broadcasts (which ended with a Christmas chart number one), a Popstars: The Rivals Tour was scheduled for early 2003. However, the tour was cancelled because of low ticket sales. Impresario Louis Walsh, their then manager, said that the girls would go on their own tour in the near future.

Following the success of the What Will the Neighbours Say? album, the group announced dates for their debut tour, performing at twenty-four different locations over thirty days. Support acts were Cookie and Kute (now known as ElectroVamp), along with Triple 8 (only at Hammersmith). Triple 8 includes the boyfriend of band member Kimberley Walsh.

The cover of "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus was edited with new lyrics from a girl's perspective. An audio recording of this performance is available on Whole Lotta History.

Album track "Real Life" was also a popular performance with its fan base, given a samba re-working and started as a bluesy ballad. An audio of this performance is available on Long Hot Summer.
