BRITAIN’S favourite boy band are back at the MEN Arena in Manchester this month.

JLS haven’t looked back since finishing runner-up to Alexandra Burke in 2008’s X Factor.

The four lads – Aston, Marvin, Oriste and JB – are riding the crest of a wave and this year picked up two MOBOs, for Best Newcomer and Best Song for Beat Again, as well as two Brits for British Breakthrough and British Single – again for Beat Again – making them the first X Factor contestants to win at the ceremony.

Speaking ahead of their Manchester return, they said: “It’s every singer’s dream to play venues like Manchester’s MEN Arena to such huge audiences.

“It’s going to be a spectacular and we can’t wait for all our supporters to see the show!”

The show starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, January 22. Tickets are priced £25.54-£31.67. To book, phone the box office on 0844 847 8000 or visit www.men-arena.com.
