ARTICLE ABOUT 5TH STORY

[carol]

Following the success of The Big Reunion on ITV2, The Big Reunion Boy Band Tour will be heading to Sheffield next week, this time bringing along the seven boy bands from both series – Five, Blue, 911, (from 2013 series) plus A1, Damage, 3T and the recently formed 5th Story featuring Gareth Gates (pictured), Dane Bowers, Adam Rickitt, Kavana, Kenzie (from 2014 series).

The tour will open at the Motorpoint Arena, Sheffield next Friday, October 17.

The Boy Band Tour is hot off the heels of last year’s two sell out Big Reunuion shows in Sheffield, playing to over 20,000 people!

Series one of The Big Reunion which aired last year starred some of the biggest pop groups of the nineties coming together for the ultimate reunion. Acts featured included Five and 911 who were joined by surprise addition Blue mid-way through the series. The groups were thrust back into the spotlight, reliving their dreams and revealing the highs and lows of life in a pop group. The groups followed the success of the programme by embarking on two UK & Irish tours in May and December, performing in arenas to almost 200,000 fans.

The show returned to TV screens this February with a brand new line-up of popstars – including Boy Band Tour members A1, Damage, 3T and the newly formed 5th Story. The new supergroup is comprised of solo artists Gareth Gates, Adam Rickitt and Kavana, along with Another Level’s Dane Bowers and Blazin’ Squad’s Kenzie. Combined they have had 27 top ten hits including five number ones, won MOBO, Smash Hits, and MTV awards and played to sold out crowds around the world.

The latest series documented exclusive and explosive accounts from former pop heroes, with revelations about drugs, fisticuffs, rows, bulimia, shattered dreams and how the music industry can leave even apparently successful stars penniless.

Tickets purchased online and through the ticket hotline are priced £49.50 and £30.25 including booking fee. Tickets purchased in person at the Arena Box Office are priced £47.25 and £28.88 including booking fee.

IT'S been the best part of 20 years since some of the bands taking part in the Big Reunion Boyband Tour set foot on the stage at the BIC, but it seemed like only yesterday.

The excited audience remembered every word and every signature dance move from 90s giants Blue, Five (who are now, technically, Three), 911, A1, 3T and Damage, as well as the collective hits from newly formed 5th Story (aka Gareth Gates, Blazin' Squad's Kenzie, Adam Rickett, Kavana and Another Level's Dane Bowers).


There were trap doors, body pops, air grabs and lots and lots of screaming.

The best thing about a Big Reunion concert is that every tune's a hit, and the Windsor Hall partied along to favourites including One Love, Everybody Get Up, Bodyshakin, Breathe Again, Same Old Brand New You, Freak Me, Love To Love and Why, finishing with the crowd pleasing Spirit in the Sky.

Whether the numerous new albums and tours plugged on the night will be a success remains to be seen, but for one night at least, these bands showed they still have what it takes to get an arena on their feet.
