Even with their slick, coordinated dance moves and their pitch-perfect vocals, their manicured performance came off seemingly effortless.

Beginning with their 2010 hit “Eyes Wide Shut”, the four of them emerged from haze and flashing lights. Lit up by LED strip lights, they moved in sync, much to the delight of their screaming fans.

Their hit “Hottest Girl In The World” had the audience up on their feet, singing along to the band’s harmonies. Having played the 20,000 capacity venue an impressive 19 times, the band seemed at ease as they asked how many of the audience members had been at every single show. There was an impressive response with loud screams and cheers. Their transition into “Day One” was smooth as they said “I think there are some fans here tonight who’ve been here since day one.”

Covering Bruno Mars’ “Finesse” which went down a treat with the fans, the band covered every inch of the stage meeting the audience at all parts and making sure that everyone was enjoying themselves.

Cheeky chappy Olly Murs joined the band on stage for his song “Heart Skips A Beat”. With both acts having been on the X Factor, they performed energetically and wowed the crowd with their live performance expertise.

Ending with “Everybody In Love”, the four of them vowed to be back as they left the fans wanting more. They’ll be touring the UK again next Summer, make sure to snag your tickets here!
