00:00It's a rip rolling rollercoaster ride of fun and anti.

00:04It really is.

00:06It's a reunion 25 years in the making.

00:09One of the biggest boy bands of the 90s is making a comeback.

00:13That's right, five are back.

00:15And for the first time in decades, all five original members

00:18are reuniting for a massive arena tour this autumn.

00:22No, it is genuinely, you know, amazing to reconnect,

00:26like, you know, all five of us again.

00:28And to then go out to reconnect as friends was one bonus

00:33and then to get a sellout arena tour, you know,

00:36and then add dates and, you know, be on 25 dates is just unbelievable.

00:43They were one of the most successful and iconic boy bands of all time.

00:48Topping charts across the globe and now Abs Love, Jay Brown, Richie Neville,

00:52Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon are hitting the road

00:55playing shows across the UK and Ireland.

00:58I can't think of anything that I'm not looking forward to.

01:00Not the moment.

01:01It's going to be amazing, you know, to bring our families,

01:05to bring our kids, you know, for everyone to see it,

01:07for the bands to get to see it after all these years.

01:09It's just incredible.

01:10There is no negativity.

01:11We're in a very privileged position to be doing it.

01:13Yeah.

01:14Like we're basically coming back after being away for 24, 25 years

01:17and selling out a 25-day arena tour.

01:20So it's, everything's just a privilege and not waiting for it all.

01:25Mm-hmm.

01:26They're performing at the M&S Bank Arena on Wednesday the 5th

01:29and Sunday the 30th of November,

01:31which is their last show on their UK leg of the tour.

01:35We wrap up the UK leg of the tour on the 30th.

01:38So it's like a party in Liverpool.

01:40Yeah.

01:41Are the Scousers up for it?

01:42Yes.

01:43That's what we want to know.

01:44I think we know the answer to it.

01:45Yeah, but are they going to end the UK leg?

01:46In the correct manner.

01:47Yeah, I think they will.

01:48Yeah.

01:49I think they will.

01:50Yeah.

01:51Casty will.

01:52Casty will.

01:53That's why we're doing it.

01:54We know it's going to happen.

01:55Formed in 1997, five skyrocketed to fame with chart-topping hits,

02:00selling more than 20 million records worldwide.

02:03Charting in over 20 countries, five are the only UK act

02:06to hit the top 10 with all of their 11 singles,

02:09including three number ones.

02:12Are there any songs that you're looking forward to performing in particular?

02:16Yes.

02:17Keep On Moving, Got The Feeling, Slam Dunk The Funk,

02:20Everybody Get Up, We Will Rock You.

02:22It's The Things You Do, When The Lights Go Out.

02:34Can't wait.

02:35That was impressive.

02:36That was about four of us.

02:37All of those.

02:38Yeah, they're wasted.

02:39Five are back, and they're ready to make you get down once again.

02:44I think the first time we actually walk on stage, the very first gig we do,

02:49after 25 years, all just looking at each other and going on,

02:52and then that first song, making a couple of mistakes,

02:55but just getting over it.

02:56That's going to be emotional.

02:57Moving on.

02:58It's going to be amazing.

02:59Yeah.
