Little Mix at 3Arena, Dublin: Everything you need to know

Little Mix are fitting in as many dates as possible to make up for their two-year absence from our shores with three nights at Dublin’s 3Arena and three in Belfast.

Even though Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall and Perrie Edwards's individual auditions on X Factor in 2011 were impressive, they became unshakeable when they were thrown together as a girl group, eventually becoming the first group to win X Factor.

As soon as they released their debut single Wings, it was clear that Little Mix were promoting three things: female empowerment, healthy friendships and body positivity.

A group is a risky thing to be in the pop sphere. When in-feuding or escalating egos can often cut the lifespan of a group down by a few years, Little Mix have managed to stick together, growing stronger with each album. Taking an edgier route with their music on LM5, their 2018 album, after finally breaking free from Simon Cowell’s label Syco, the talented Little Mix women have used their strong vocals to put out an even stronger message.
