The iconic 90s boyband Five have officially announced their reunion after a quarter of a century apart. All five original members – Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Sean Conlon – are set to hit the road together for the first time in 25 years.
The Comeback Tour: 'Keep On Movin' Hits the Road
The band will embark on a major 12-date arena tour across the UK this Autumn. The 'Keep On Movin' 2025 tour will visit cities including Aberdeen, Birmingham, Bournemouth, Brighton, Cardiff, Glasgow, Leeds, Liverpool, London, Manchester, Newcastle, and Nottingham. Fans eager to secure their spot can purchase tickets from 7 March 2025.
This marks a monumental return for the group, who originally split in September 2001 following a series of serious meetings with their management. Their legacy is impressive: with hits like If Ya Gettin’ Down, Everybody Get Up, and Keep On Movin, they became the only UK act to have all 11 of their singles reach the Top 10.
Band Members Express Excitement for Long-Awaited Return
Scott Robinson shared his enthusiasm about the reunion, stating it felt like the right time. “This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we’re so ready for it,” he said. “Reconnecting as a 5 over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again.”
Abz Love echoed the sentiment, adding an extra layer of excitement about their tour support. “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together & see the fans, it’s gonna go OFF!” he said. “Buzzing to have Naughty Boy on tour with us too… 5 bad boys and a naughty boy, that sounds like a lot of fun.”
A Legacy of Chart-Topping Success
Formed in 1997, Five achieved global fame, selling over 20 million records worldwide and charting in more than 20 countries. Their self-titled debut album shot to number one on the Official Charts in 1998 and was certified double platinum. The follow-up, 1999's 'Invincible', also achieved double platinum status.
The timing of this reunion is particularly poignant, coming 25 years after the band won the BRIT Award for ‘Best British Pop Act’ in 2000. For a generation of fans, the announcement heralds the return of one of the UK's most definitive pop acts of the era, promising a major nostalgia-fuelled event for Autumn 2025.
