Excitement is mounting among fans of JADE as she kicks off her first ever UK solo tour in Belfast on Thursday night.
She is due to perform her debut album "That's Showbiz, Baby!" which she released last month.
The singer, whose full name is Jade Thirlwall, last played in Belfast more than three years ago, where she performed as part of girl group Little Mix.
They announced that the pop outfit would "take a break" after completing their "Confetti" tour in 2022.
Laura, 21, from Bangor has been a fan of Little Mix and JADE since primary school.
"This will be my seventh time seeing her. She always puts on a show, amazing costumes, sets, dancers. I'm excited to see what she has in store".
But not all of those waiting to see JADE are familiar with Belfast, with some committed members of her fanbase travelling hundreds of miles to attend the Belfast gig.
Vera, 25, from Portugal came specifically to see JADE perform in Northern Ireland.
"I saw Little Mix at their last show in 2022, this is the first time I'll see her since they split up.
"I came from so far away that I had to get here early to be in the front row. I am crazy about her!".
