GIRLS Aloud have reassured fans they have no plans to go solo by putting on their strongest tour yet.
The popstrels are rehearsing for the string of dates which kick off in Belfast on May 3.Lovely Sarah Harding, 26, is pushing on through a back injury to tackle the strenuous dance routines.She told me: “There’s rumours flying around saying we’re gonna split as usual, but as far as I know we’re going to carry on. “We’re gonna concentrate on doing live stuff while still fresh from the tour. This year is well full. It’s gonna be a wicked tour. Over the years it gets bigger and more elaborate.”Reports of Cheryl Cole, 24, recording solo material are wide of the mark, I’m assured.The band are united, particularly about wowing the festival audiences and are overwhelmed at being boosted to the main stage at the Virgin Mobile V Festival.Thousands couldn’t cram into their tent when Sarah and co played in 2006.Over the weekend of August 16 and 17, the Aloud will grace the top stage, which The Verve are headlining.Sarah told me: “I think the main stage is for Radiohead and that lot – more legendary-type acts on the big stage. It’s incredible for us to get on there. “We didn’t really know how we’d fit in because we are putting on more of a show and weren’t sure if the main stage was equipped for doing that sort of thing.“We didn’t expect so many people wanting to see us last time – we thought we were gonna get stoned to death. “It was really scary for me, I really didn’t want to go but the crowds were really nice and loved it.” Despite getting revellers feeling poptastic, Girls Aloud won’t be braving Glastonbury just yet.Sarah continued: “That’s a hardcore crew. I’d go there but dunno if I’d have the balls to perform it. I know for a fact we’d get killed at Reading Festival. “Glastonbury, I’d rather just be there, not play it. It would be amazing, an honour to be asked.”A fortnight after Playlist revealed the news Madonna would headline Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Kent and the station has confirmed what our readers already knew. Her Madgesty, 49, will do the top honours on May 10, with The Kooks top of the bill the day after. Also performing at Mote Park in Maidstone are Usher, 29, Duffy, 23, The Fratellis, The Hoosiers, The Enemy and Robyn, 28.
