About JLS

JLS — short for Jack the Lad Swing — became one of the UK’s most successful pop groups after finishing as runners-up on The X Factor in 2008. Composed of Aston Merrygold, Marvin Humes, JB Gill, and Oritsé Williams, the band swiftly carved out a unique niche in British pop by fusing smooth R&B vocals, chart-friendly beats, and impeccable choreography. Their self-titled debut album went multi-platinum and produced hits like “Beat Again” and “Everybody in Love.”

Between 2009 and 2013, JLS achieved five UK number-one singles, won two BRIT Awards, and became a staple of arena tours across Ireland and the UK. Known for their slick stage shows and polished harmonies, the group gained a loyal fanbase and made their mark with unforgettable performances at venues like the O2 Arena, Wembley, and of course, Dublin’s 3Arena.

After announcing their split in 2013 and a farewell tour, each member pursued solo projects — from Aston’s run on Strictly Come Dancing to Marvin’s career in radio and JB’s work in farming and TV. But in 2021, the band made a surprise return, reigniting the nostalgia with a series of sell-out shows and new music. Their ongoing reunion tour is a celebration of everything fans loved about them — big vocals, feel-good vibes, and a polished pop performance.

Their upcoming concert at the 3Arena on 11th November 2025 is part of this new chapter, promising a setlist of greatest hits, updated visuals, and the kind of crowd interaction that only JLS can deliver. Whether you were there from day one or just discovering them now, this is a show that brings generations together on the dancefloor.

Trivia You Might Not Know:

• “Beat Again” was written and recorded in just two days — and became a UK No.1
• JLS were the first X Factor act to win a BRIT Award (Best British Breakthrough, 2010)
• They launched the JLS Foundation in support of cancer charities across the UK and Ireland
• In 2021, they released “Eternal Love,” their first new single in eight years
