The What Will the Neighbours Say? Live concert tour in 2005 was the first by Girls Aloud.
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, along with Triple 8. Triple 8 includes the boyfriend of band member Kimberley Walsh.
Set list
The set list was as follows:
"The Show"
"Here We Go"
"Girls on Film"
"No Good Advice"
"Graffiti My Soul"
"Teenage Dirtbag"
"Wake Me Up
"Life Got Cold
"Deadlines & Diets"
"I'll Stand by You"
"Love Machine"
"Real Life"
"Girls Allowed" (With C'est Chic Interlude)
"Jump"
"Sound of the Underground"
"Le Freak, C'est Chic" was performed by Sarah Harding and Nadine Coyle in the middle of album track "Girls Allowed", as part of a disco dance. 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.
Chemistry Live 2006
The Chemistry Tour was in 2006, Girls Aloud's first arena-based concert tour. They appeared in various arenas across the United Kingdom.
Dates for the tour were revealed in October 2005, before tickets went on sale in November 2005. The venues were larger than the ones used in the previous tour (which was a theatre tour), and the girls performed fewer dates (just ten).
Unlike their 2005 tour, there was no Irish leg of the Chemistry Arena Tour - something which many Irish fans complained about since the announcement. It was believed that dates in Ireland were planned to be added before Christmas but were scrapped after their latest releases did not perform as well as earlier ones in the Irish Charts.

The Sound Of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour. (the only one I went to. I had the time of my life)
The Sound Of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour kicked off in May 2007 as Girls Aloud's second arena-based concert tour and their third tour overall.
The tour celebrates the groups five years at the top and sees them showcase their string of hits featured on the The Sound of Girls Aloud compilation album, a #1 double platinum selling success.
Dates for the tour went on sale in November 2006 with the Australian group Rogue Traders, R&B singer Natalia and US singer Misha Williams offering support performances.
Girls Aloud were planning to perform a Spice Girls medley of songs as part of their show, in a section including covers of songs by various other acts. The tour program does mention a tribute to girl groups paving the way, but no such medley features in the show.
In recent performances, Girls Aloud wore yellow ribbons during the first part of the show to show support for Madeline McCann, who went missing in Portugal.
Unlike the previous two tours, The Sound of Girls Aloud: The Greatest Hits Tour will not be filmed for a DVD release. Girls Aloud's manager Hillary Shaw said that the girls were planning something new, and that falling sales of music DVDs in general contributed to the decision. As Of This Fans have started petitions for a Tour DVD .
The tour is sponsored by the shampoo brand Sunsilk.
Almost all of the singles were performed, only See the Day was excluded.
A live audio recording of "Something Kinda Ooooh" served as the b-side to their single "Sexy! No, No, No...".
Greatest Hits DVD.
