Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

The '''Tangled Up Tour''' was the fourth [[concert tour]] by English-Irish girl group [[Girls Aloud]]. It supported their fourth studio album ''[[Tangled Up (Girls Aloud album)|Tangled Up]]''. Tour dates were announced in November 2007. Girls Aloud performed twenty-four shows at [[arena]]s across the United Kingdom and Ireland, making this tour their third to reach arenas. The tour commenced in [[Belfast]] on 3 May 2008 and concluded in [[Birmingham]] on 4 June. Girls Aloud also performed eleven [[open-air concert]]s over the summer.

The show was divided into five unique sections with distinct costumes, including the encore. The stage outfits, designed by Welsh designer [[Julien MacDonald]], received comparisons to [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]]'s [[Blond Ambition World Tour]]. Girls Aloud began the show suspended from the ceiling wearing black cloaks before performing the opening number "[[Sexy! No No No...]]". The set list mostly included songs from ''Tangled Up'', as well as earlier singles and album tracks. A [[ballad]] section took place on a smaller stage in the centre of the arena. [[Billiam]], Luigi Masi, and [[The Saturdays]] provided support for Girls Aloud on the tour.

The tour generated positive reviews from critics, who noted the performance as being the most sexual of Girls Aloud's career to date. The Tangled Up Tour was filmed at the [[The O2 Arena (London)|O2 Arena]] in London on 17 May 2008 and shown live at 50 [[Vue Cinemas|Vue]] cinemas across the United Kingdom. This footage was released on DVD and Blu-ray under the title '''''Tangled Up: Live from The O<sub>2</sub> 2008''''' in October 2008. The tour was also broadcast on a number of television channels.

== Background and development ==
The first dates were announced by various news sources towards the end of November 2007. Pre-sale tickets were offered on Girls Aloud's official website on 22 November 2007.<ref>(( cite web | url=http://entertainment.aol.co.uk/girls-aloud-relaxing-ahead-of-tour/article/20080327091009990015 | title=Girls Aloud relaxing ahead of tour | publisher=[[America Online|AOL Entertainment]] | date=30 March 2008 | accessdate=4 April 2008 ))</ref> In March 2008, Girls Aloud signed a deal to front an ad campaign for a new low-calorie [[Kit Kat]] bar called "Senses". The manufacturer sponsored the tour, and handed out chocolate bars for free at the arenas.

The announcement of the tour helped to stop rumours that the band were splitting up. The stories surfaced after [[Nadine Coyle]] pulled out of a [[The Passions of Girls Aloud|reality show for the second time]].<ref name="telegraph">((cite web|url=http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music-gigs/news/article3179776.ece |title=Nadine tangled up in band split rumours (again) |work=[[The Belfast Telegraph]] |author=Maureen Coleman |date=21 November 2007 |accessdate=4 April 2008 |archiveurl=https://archive.today/20080327113400/http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/entertainment/music-gigs/news/article3179776.ece |archivedate=27 March 2008 |url-status=dead  ))</ref> It was widely reported in April 2008 that [[Cheryl Cole]] was working on solo material with producer [[T2 (producer)|T2]].<ref>(( cite web | url=http://www.mtv.co.uk/channel/mtvuk/news/16042008/415294/cheryl_cole_s_solo_plans | title=Cheryl Cole's solo plans | publisher=[[MTV News]] | author=Tom Thorogood | date=16 April 2008 | accessdate=22 April 2008 ))</ref> These accusations were quickly denied, with Cole saying that she "had been in tour rehearsals every day."<ref>(( cite web|url=http://girlsaloud.co.uk/site.php |title=A Message From Cheryl |publisher=GirlsAloud.co.uk |date=18 April 2008 |accessdate=22 April 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071028182353/http://www.girlsaloud.co.uk/site.php |archivedate=28 October 2007 |url-status=dead  ))</ref> The band put a further stop to these rumours at their London show, by announcing that they would be recording a new album.<ref>(( cite web | url=http://www.myparkmag.co.uk/articles/celebrity/girls-aloud-thrill-london-.html | title=Girls Aloud thrill London | publisher=MyParkMag.co.uk | date=19 May 2008 | accessdate=8 June 2008 ))</ref>

== Critical response ==
The Tangled Up Tour received mostly positive reviews from contemporary music critics. ''[[The Independent]]'' gave the show four stars, saying that "even their between-song chatter is amusing". Although low points were noted, the review continued that "Girls Aloud remain confidently the only pop show in town."<ref>(( cite news | url=https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/first-night-girls-aloud-secc-glasgow-823132.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220526/https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/reviews/first-night-girls-aloud-secc-glasgow-823132.html |archive-date=26 May 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | title=First Night: Girls Aloud, SECC, Glasgow | work=[[The Independent]] | author=David Pollock | date=8 May 2008 | accessdate=8 May 2008 | location=London))</ref> The ''[[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]]'' said they "pulled out all the stops."<ref>(( cite web | url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/entertainment-catch-all/2008/05/08/you-know-when-you-ve-been-tangled-86908-20409664/ | title=You know when you've been Tangled | work=[[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]] | author=Beverley Lyons and Laura Sutherland | date=8 May 2008 | accessdate=8 May 2008 | url-status=dead | archiveurl=https://archive.today/20120801161852/http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/entertainment-catch-all/2008/05/08/you-know-when-you-ve-been-tangled-86908-20409664/ | archivedate=1 August 2012 | df=dmy-all ))</ref> Becky Reed of Clickmusic gave the show four stars and stated, "Never mind that original banter and individual personality is lacking, the chemistry and magic is all there in the spectacle of the show."<ref name="clickmusic" />

''[[Daily Mirror|The Mirror]]'' called it "the most sexually-charged performance of their career".<ref name="mirror">(( cite web | url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/showbiz/3am/2008/05/05/girls-aloud-launch-tangled-up-tour-with-raunchy-performance-89520-20405787/ | title=Girls Aloud launch Tangled Up tour with raunchy performance | work=[[Daily Mirror]] | date=5 May 2008 | accessdate=5 May 2008 ))</ref> Many reviews focused on Girls Aloud's provocative attire, comparing it to [[Madonna (entertainer)|Madonna]] and [[Jean Paul Gaultier]]'s famous designs for her 1990 [[Blond Ambition World Tour]].<ref name="metro" /><ref>(( cite web|url=http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/entertainment-catch-all/2008/05/05/girls-get-into-the-groove-86908-20405694/ |title=Girls get into the Groove |work=[[Daily Record (Scotland)|Daily Record]] |author=Beverley Lyons and Laura Sutherland |date=5 May 2008 |accessdate=10 May 2008 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080508190258/http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/entertainment/entertainment-catch-all/2008/05/05/girls-get-into-the-groove-86908-20405694/ |archivedate=8 May 2008 |url-status=dead  ))</ref> Reed complimented the costumes: "Girls Aloud have ''finally'' moved on from the market stall clobber and now resemble the [[Kylie Minogue|Kylie]]-esque superstars they deserve to be."<ref name="clickmusic" />

''[[The Times]]'' only gave the show two stars. "The songs varied wildly in quality. While upbeat belters... tapped into the hedonistic rush of classic gay disco, too much of the set felt graceless and flat."<ref name="times">(( cite news | url=http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/live_reviews/article3896376.ece | title=Girls Aloud at SECC,Glasgow | work=[[The Times]] | date=9 May 2008| accessdate=12 May 2008 | location=London | first=Stephen | last=Dalton))</ref> The critique even said "the famous five could easily have been interchangeable Stepford androids."<ref name="times" /> Despite having praise for the girls, Nick Levine of ''[[Digital Spy]]'' observed "one too many bum notes."<ref name="goodbadbawdy" />

Many shows on the Tangled Up Tour sold out including two dates at the UK's most renowned venue, the O<sub>2</sub> in London and because of the overwhelming success of the initial dates announced, more were added due to public demand.
