Greatest Hits Live! (also known as the Finest Selection Tour) was the fourth and final headlining concert tour by English-Irish girl group The Saturdays. It was their first tour in three years, launched in support of their greatest hits album, Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits.
Background Just a few months after releasing their fourth studio album Living for the Weekend (2013), the group announced they would release a greatest hits album and tour in support of the album. The album, Finest Selection: The Greatest Hits, was announced for release in August 2014 and was described as including the group's previous Top 40 singles along with three new tracks. The tour was announced as a 12-date run in support of the album. The tour was the group's first in three years.
The tour played a mixture of theatres and arenas with most dates sold out at full capacity. The largest attendance for a single show was Wembley Arena, London with almost 10,000 in attendance. During the Glasgow show, Frankie Bridge had a pre-recorded segment to show she was competing on the twelfth season of Strictly Come Dancing that would start airing three days after the tour completed.
