What Will The Neighbours Say...? was the first concert tour by British all-female pop group Girls Aloud. It supported their second studio album, What Will the Neighbours Say?. Girls Aloud initially planned to tour in 2003 with their fellow Popstars: The Rivals contestants; however, the tour was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. Girls Aloud announced their first headlining tour in December 2004. Girls Aloud performed twenty-two dates in theatre-sized venues across the United Kingdom and Ireland, beginning in Nottingham on 4 May 2005 and concluding in Dublin on 2 June 2005.
The show was divided into four distinct sections, including a ballad section. The set list consisted of songs from Girls Aloud's first two albums, Sound of the Underground and What Will the Neighbours Say?, as well as cover versions. The stage featured a stairway, where Girls Aloud made their first appearance for the opening performance of "The Show". The tour received generally favourable reception from critics. The tour was a commercial success, allowing Girls Aloud to perform in arenas for their Chemistry Tour in 2006. In December 2005, the show was released on DVD as What Will the Neighbours Say? Live in Concert.
Girls Aloud had previously planned to embark on a Popstars: The Rivals tour in March 2003, alongside their fellow winners One True Voice as well as other contestants. However, the tour was cancelled due to poor ticket sales. The tour would have included shows at London's Wembley Arena and Birmingham's National Exhibition Centre. Girls Aloud's manager Louis Walsh said the group would tour by themselves later in the year; however, these plans never came into fruition.
