About JLS

JLS, an acronym for Jack the Lad Swing, burst onto the music scene in 2008 as runners-up on the fifth series of The X Factor. Comprising Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, Oritsé Williams, and JB Gill, their unique blend of pop, R&B, and slick choreography quickly captivated the nation. Despite finishing second, their debut single “Beat Again” shot straight to number one, cementing their status as a formidable force in British pop. They followed this success with a string of chart-topping hits including “Everybody in Love,” “The Club is Alive,” and “She Makes Me Wanna,” becoming the first X Factor act to win a BRIT Award.

Throughout their initial career, JLS released four platinum-selling albums, embarked on multiple sold-out arena tours, and cultivated a devoted fanbase with their infectious energy and undeniable charm. After a brief hiatus and an emotional farewell tour in 2013, the quartet delighted fans by announcing their highly anticipated reunion in 2020 with the ‘Beat Again’ tour, which sold out arenas across the UK. Their enduring appeal lies in their genuine camaraderie, their consistently high-energy performances, and a catalogue of catchy, feel-good anthems. As they prepare to return to Aberdeen, JLS continues to demonstrate why they remain one of the most successful and adored boybands of their era, promising a show that’s as vibrant and exciting as ever.
