"We have hand-picked 10 of the very best of them to create an outstanding super pop group for GLEEMANIA. These are all finalists who were taken to the hearts of the British public, who voted for them in their millions.These kids are seriously talented and the public are going to love seeing and hearing them again. Gorgeous and oozing with talent, they were all stand-out stars on the biggest shows on British TV, but as a group they truly shine."

The stars of GLEEMANIA will be bringing incredible music from past eras back to life, including the hits Don't Stop Believin', Gold Digger, and, of course, much-loved mash-ups inspired by the hit TV show Glee.
