Talking about the tour Ben said, “I actually can’t believe it, to get to go back and play at arenas such as Wembley and to get to go and meet the fans up and down the country. It’s just going to be probably the most amazing experience of my life and it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long, long time. I’ve always tried to get into big venues and to do something like this, like a huge prestigious tour, it’s kind of like, yeah, that’s it for me, that’s made my life.”
Stevi Ritchie added, “Wow! It’s crazy, mental really. I never expected to go on tour, you know I really wanted to go on tour, it’s one of my dreams. Wow! I can’t believe it. It’s going to be mental. And to perform in front of thousands of people each week, I really can’t wait. It’s a dream come true. It’s amazing.”
