"The ability to exclusively showcase a hugely relevant band from one of America's most storied venues is something unique to Fuse," said Mike Bair, president, MSG Media. "Following The Wanted's incredibly successful live stream appearance on Fuse.tv in April, Fuse is now broadcasting the band's first full-length television concert. We are committed to connecting music fans to their favorite artists and we look forward to continuing to bring our viewers top notch performances that only Fuse can deliver."
Since 2009, The Wanted – Tom Parker, Max George, Siva Kaneswaran, Jay McGuiness, and Nathan Sykes – have become front-page news with their ferociously infectious tunes, rock solid friendship and laddish charms. After the release of their debut #1 single two years ago, "All Time Low" (from their self-titled debut album of 2010), they have become a sensation in the UK, Ireland, South East Asia, and across Europe, piling up a string of five Top 3 singles in the UK. Success has come quickly in the US for The Wanted, first with a sold out headlining show at New York's Gramercy Theater, followed by their sold out three week, ten city promotion and performance tour of the U.S., and a sold-out UK arena tour, which included a stop at London's O2 Arena. In the wake of the tour, the group's premiere U.S. single "Glad You Came" blasted into the Billboard Hot 100's Top 10, vaulting 23*-5* with top Digital Gainer honors, jumped 19*-3* on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs Chart , and hit #1 on the Top 40 Airplay chart.
"MSG Entertainment is proud to welcome The Wanted for their first performance at the Beacon Theatre," said Melissa Ormond, president, MSG Entertainment. "We are always looking for ways to engage fans by providing them with unprecedented access to their favorite artists at our renowned venues and are thrilled to share The Wanted's first Beacon Theatre concert live on Fuse."
