[7] Following the conclusion of the group's reality TV competition Little Mix The Search in November 2020, the show's winners Since September were confirmed as the opening act for the Confetti Tour.

[8] In February 2021, amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the group announced that The Confetti Tour would be postponed to 2022 in light of the UK's coronavirus restrictions.

[12] The ticketing fees from the tour will be shared between Black Minds Matter UK and Nordoff Robbins Music Therapy.

They wrote "Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, and Perrie Edwards, have carried the torch for campy girl power, and in Newcastle, the trio show why their "hiatus" feels so bittersweet... For two hours the group gave a lesson on the last 10 years of British pop.

It explodes into a rock and roll dance break filled with pyro and intensive hairography, and spiky "Salute," twists into Lil Nas X's song "Industry Baby".

2020 single "Sweet Melody," is the closer, and feels more like a triumphant beginning than an ending, and with the Newcastle's bars blaring it out as the crowd find their way home, and when Little Mix returns, there's going to be a party.

They also added "Once their tour finishes in May, the British music industry will be incredibly different, with no major girl group to pick up their torch.

Audience members reportedly cried when the trio sang the ballad "Secret Love Song"; Thirlwall said: "We are so unbelievably grateful and we'd like to give a special shout out to our LGBTQ+ community."

Proving that all good things must come to an end, the band bowed out with Sweet Melody, with the crowd united in joy and tears.

[2] Graham Clark from The Yorkshire Times commented "Following the announcement that the group would be taking a break, the concert at the Leeds Arena was destined to be a celebration of their past rather than a fond farewell.

If this tour was to be their last performance for the time being then pop music has lost one of its best girl groups leading the gates wide open to fill what will be a huge and duller empty space".

Among them are their stage presence and charisma, their intuitive ability to write a hit song, their continuation of the girl power legacy, their fierce loyalty and love for each other, and, most of all, their raw talent.

They expertly switched up some of their hits, including an absolutely unforgettable rock version of 'Woman Like Me' and a glorious mash-up of 'Salute' and Lil Nas X's 'Industry Baby'."

Tickets were made available alongside merchandise on 27 April, with a portion of proceeds being donated to two charities: Child Poverty Action Group and Choose Love.
