Announced: STEPBACK! 90S VS 00S NEW DATE ANNOUNCED FOR NOTTINGHAM

 

TWO DECADES OF MUSIC GO HEAD TO HEAD IN ULTIMATE
ARENA TOUR

 

 

Two massive decades in music will go head to head in the ultimate arena tour this October and November. Stepback! 90s Vs 00s will see acts from two iconic decades go head-to-head on stage in a great throwback night.

 

To meet phenomenal demand a further six arena dates have been added to the tour, including a stop-off atMotorpoint Arena Nottingham on Friday 8 November 2019.

 

Artists including 5ive, S Club, Fatman Scoop, East 17, Blazin’ Squad, Big Brovaz, Booty Luv and 911will headline the groundbreaking event with, most recently announced, Atomic Kitten.

 

Everybody loves a comeback, and there is no return to the pop universe more triumphant than the return of these well-known names. They provided the soundtrack to the pop explosion of the late nineties and noughties and they are now returning to do it all again – but bigger and bolder than ever before.

 

Promoter for the tour, Dan Nelmes said: “The appetite for nostalgia has never been stronger and we are thrilled to present this full-on throwback fest across UK arenas this autumn. This tour promises to be a massive hit. It will be a glamorous, action-packed extravaganza with no skimping on the sequins or dance moves.

 

“Stepback! 90s Vs 00s is going to be unmissable for any pop fan – a retro party like never before. We are excited to add more dates to the tour as the demand has been amazing. Many of the added shows are arenas we visited last year, including Nottingham, and we can’t wait to return.”

 

Atomic Kitten are one of Europe’s most-loved groups. From the moment they burst onto the scene with their debut single Right Now, the girls have been wowing audiences around the world, picking up awards and becoming the first all-girl group to hit No.1 in the singles, albums and DVD charts simultaneously. Atomic Kitten have become synonymous with some of the best pop tunes of a generation, including Whole Again and Eternal Flame.

 

5ive are the British boy band who dominated the charts during the 90s. The heartthrobs topped the pop charts with hits like Slam Dunk (Da Funk), When the Lights Go Out, Everybody Get Up, If Ya Gettin’ Down, and Keep On Movin’.

 

There ain’t no party like an S Club party! The group originally formed back in 1998 by Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller and topped the charts with hit singles such as Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True, Don’t Stop Movin, Have You Ever and Reach. S Club 7 took over the world of pop and television, with 90 million people viewing their TV show.

 

Fatman Scoop is notorious for shouting his name and requesting that you do whatever he tells you. Whether it’s Scoop’s rambunctious baritone hyping a track or video cameos for P Diddy, 50 Cent or David Guetta, his booming voice and charismatic presence never go unnoticed. Get ready to “make some noise” as the man responsible for mega hit Be Faithful makes a return to the stage. Scoop, who also landed chart smashes with It Takes Scoop and Lose Control with Missy Elliott and Ciara, is the ultimate performer. 

 

Walthamstow’s finest, East 17, make the ultimate return. In the 90s, East 17 was one of the biggest bands in the UK and sold 18 million records worldwide. They achieved 18 Top 20 Singles and four Top 10 Albums in the UK, with over 30 No.1 singles. Their debut album Walthamstow shot straight to No.1 in the UK Album Charts. The album contained a string of Top 20 singles including House of Love, Deep, It’s Alright and Let It Rain.

 

They hit the bigtime back in 2002 and 16 years later, Blazin’ Squad are making the ultimate comeback. The hip-hop legends were propelled back to fame after the arrival of Marcel aka Rocky B on 2017’s Love Island. Back in 2002, no-one could resist the charm of the teen band’s chart-topping debut single Crossroads. There were five further top ten hits which included Love On The Line, Reminisce and Where The Story Ends.  Now, the multi-million selling Blazin’ Squad are back. Prepare a musical journey down memory lane.

 

Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it is my pleasure to introduce to you all… The return of Big Brovaz. Mobo Award winners Big Brovaz are an acclaimed RnB group from London and members include Cherise, Nadia, J-Rock and Randy. The band hit the ground running quickly clocking up fans and playing tours around Europe with the group’s biggest single Nu Flow, becoming a huge hit all-around Europe; making the top three in the UK while remaining in the top 75 for four months.

 

Booty Luv were the duo behind smash hit Boogie 2nite. The track spent a whopping 23 weeks inside the UK Top 75. Featuring dual lead vocals from former Big Brovaz members Cherise Roberts and Nadia Shepherd, Booty Luv was and still is a huge club anthem. Signed to dance label Hed Kandi, the duo followed up that success with a second single, a cover of Luther Vandross’ Shine, and dance hit Some Kinda Rush.

 

911 are coming back! It’s over 20 years since they released the track Bodyshakin and the boys are ready to do it all over again. The band formed in 1995 and scored their first Top Ten hit in May 1996 with the single Don’t Make Me Wait. Nine more successive hits followed including More Than A Woman, Bodyshakin and their first UK number one, A Little Bit More. The band, which consists of all original members Lee Brennan, Jimmy Constable and Spike Dawbarn, were one of only five music acts to score 10 consecutive Top Ten hits in the 90s.
