The Wanted are set to hit the road in March 2022 for a 12-date UK arena tour. 

Earlier this week, the group returned after a seven-year hiatus with the announcement of ‘Most Wanted – The Greatest Hits’, featuring all the singles plus new music.

Now, the Glad You Came stars are set to perform their biggest hits and fan-favourites live for the first time since their 2014 separation with a string of live shows across the country.

“We have been talking off and on for a few years now about getting back together to do something for the anniversary but have all been working on other projects at different times so it didn’t happen,” says Jay McGuiness.

“This is all about having fun with our mates, no pressure, just FUN.”

The Wanted first discussed getting back together in early 2020 to celebrate their 10th anniversary, but plans were put on hold due to the pandemic. 

Subsequently, singer Tom Parker was diagnosed with stage four glioblastoma, and their comeback will see the boys return to the stage as part of his ‘Tom Parker – Inside My Head’ Stand Up To Cancer concert at London’s Royal Albert Hall on September 20.
