Jay, Tom, Nathan, Max and Siva first discussed getting back together in early 2020 to celebrate their 10th anniversary but the pandemic mucked up their plans.

Tom was keen to raise money for charity to help fund research into treatments for brain tumours and decided to stage a huge pop concert at London's Royal Albert Hall.

He asked his band mates to help him put on a show to raise the cash.

But one conversation led to another and plans for a one-off show quickly turned into The Wanted reunion tour.

Tickets went on sale today. With only one Glasgow date, Scottish fans better be quick!
