To further promote the record, Girls Aloud embarked on the Tangled Up Tour in 2008. Prior to its announcement, several publications had reported a split of the band, after Nadine Coyle withdrew from two reality shows within the same year. The show reportedly cost an estimated £3 million to stage, with £250,000 worth of pyrotechnics. The band called the show their most "extravagant and rewarding" tour year, while Sarah Harding said that "over the years it gets bigger and more elaborate". The stage outfits were designed by Welsh designer Julien MacDonald, London-based Norwegian designer Kristian Aadnevik, and Liza Bruce. The tour spanned between May and mid-August 2008 and was recorded on 17 May 2008 at the O2 Arena in London, airing live across 50 Vue cinemas throughout United Kingdom. The recording was released on DVD through Polydor Records on 27 October 2008, and it was later certified Gold by the BPI.
