Ten: The Hits Tour (also known as the 10th Anniversary Tour) was the sixth and final concert tour by British girl group Girls Aloud, in support of the group's second greatest hits album, Ten (2012). The tour is the group's first tour in four years, following a three-year hiatus. The tour ranked on Pollstar's annual "Top 100 Mid Year Worldwide Tours". It earned £7.8m ($13.5m) from 20 shows.
Following their Out of Control Tour in 2009, the group announced they would take a year long hiatus before returning for a new album in 2010. The plans never came to be. In early 2012 various sources began indicating that group were to reunite to celebrate their 10-year anniversary in the autumn of that year. The group began secret recording sessions in April/May 2012 for an upcoming album. On 19 October 2012 the group held a press conference where they officially announced their reunion as well as plans to release a greatest hits album, Ten, in November followed by a tour early in 2013. The tour's first fourteen dates in the United Kingdom and Ireland were announced the same date. Due to popular demand, the band announced extra dates in London, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Manchester, Belfast, Northern Ireland and Dublin.
The shows in London on the 1 and 2 March 2013 were recorded for a DVD release. It was broadcast on MTV freeview channel Viva on Saturday 30 March 2013. The show was then repeated on MTV Music and MTV Live HD the following day. The broadcast omitted two songs, "Call Me Maybe" and "Beautiful 'Cause You Love Me". A DVD titled Ten – The Hits Tour featuring the full-length show except "Call Me Maybe" was released on 11 November 2013.
