After months of speculation, S Club 7 have finally confirmed that they’ll be going on tour again.
The pop group were originally put together by former Spice GIrls manager Simon Fuller in 1998 and produced mega hits including Reach, Don’t Stop Movin’ and their debut Bring It All Back.
In 2003 they disbanded but briefly came back together in 2014 to perform a medley of their best known songs for the BBC Children In Need Appeal.
Their newly announced reunion tour will see all seven members of the band – Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cettermole and Tina Barrett – back on stage together to celebrate 25 years since the legacy began.
The band said: “After eight years it feels amazing to announce that we’re reuniting and performing together again.
“We’re so excited to bring the S Club party back to our fans across the country to celebrate 25 years of S Club 7.
“We can’t even believe it’s been so long. Music and friendship have always been at the core of everything we’ve ever done.
“We hope everyone can join us for one big party.”
The 11-date tour will open on October 13 at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena before continuing on to Sheffield, Dublin. Glasgow, Newcastle and Leeds.
On October 21, the group will play the AO arena in Manchester and then head to Cardiff on October 23 and Nottingham on October 24.
They’ll go to Birmingham on October 26 before ending the show with a bang in London’s O2 Arena on October 28.
Appearing on BBC’s The One Show after the announcement, Bradley McIntosh revealed the tour will have a nostalgic feeling to it.
“Obviously we’re bringing the late 90s/early noughties. So it’s a lot of fun”, he said.
“Our music is very positive and I think in today’s times you need a bit of positive, you need to be picking up so that’s what we’re here to do.”
The group confirmed everyone had immediately agreed to reunite as it “felt like the right time” for them.
They said they were most excited to perform their hit Reach on the tour but added that they were open to fans contacting them through social media to request what songs they would like to hear during the shows.
During their five years together they produced four studio albums with their debut, S Club, launching in 1999.
They followed this up with the chart-topper 7 in 2000, Sunshine in 2001 and Seeing Double in 2002.
