Hear'Say / Liberty X: Popstars: The Originals

Hear'Say and Liberty X share a bill at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow under the title Popstars: The Originals. Both are pop acts that emerged from the early 2000s British pop boom.

Hear'Say were formed through ITV's Popstars series in 2001, and their debut single, "Pure and Simple", reached number one that year. Members Kym Marsh and Myleene Klass were among the group's best-known names during its chart run. Liberty X, a British pop group formed in London in 2001, had a number one with "Just a Little" in the same period, placing both acts in the same wave of television-created pop.

The evening brings together two groups that began their chart careers at the same moment, so the programme reflects the period in which both emerged. Both bands are pop groups made up of several members, and the concert is built around the material that defined their early careers.

OVO Hydro is a Glasgow venue hosting concerts and shows, and this booking places the event among its music calendar. The night suits listeners who followed the Popstars generation and fans of 2000s British pop more broadly.
