Pussycat Dolls join Take That for RDS gig

American all-girl troupe The Pussycat Dolls are to join Take That for their open-air concert in the RDS on Wednesday, June 28.

Founded by choreographer Robin Antin in 1995, the Pussycat Dolls began as a burlesque dance revue based in Los Angeles, spawned a second revue in Las Vegas, grew into an A-list phenomena with a revolving cast of guest celebrities and eventually became a recording act with number one dance hit "Don't Cha".

The troupe has attracted actresses and models who wanted to become a Pussycat Doll for a night, including Christina Aguilera, Pamela Anderson, Kelly Osbourne, Pink, Britney Spears, Carmen Electra and Gwen Stefani.

An appearance in the 2003 film Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle was followed by numerous television appearances, most with Carmen Electra.

Capitalizing on the nationwide attention and the addition of former Eden's Crush member Nicole Scherzinger as lead singer, the single "Don't Cha" with special guest Busta Rhymes appeared at the beginning of 2005 and climbed to number two on the pop chart and number one on the dance chart.

With help from the Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am and producer Timbaland, the Pussycat Dolls recorded their full-length debut which was released in the summer of 2005.

Tickets, priced €75.50, €70.50, €65, €54.25, €49.25, €43.70, go on sale this Wednesday, April 12 at 9am and are available from Ticketmaster and all usual outlets nationwide.
