The British boyband Five is reuniting after 25 years apart, with all five original members - Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Sean Conlon - set to embark on a 12-date UK arena tour in 2025. The tour, titled Keep On Movin' 2025, will kick off in Brighton on October 31, 2025, and will feature the band performing some of their biggest hits, including If Ya Gettin' Down, Everybody Get Up, and When The Lights Go Out. Fans will also be treated to some of their past number ones, with Keep On Movin', We Will Rock You, and Let's Dance also on the playlist.
The reunion announcement comes 25 years after the band won their first BRIT Award for best British pop act in 2000. Five was formed in 1997 and quickly achieved huge commercial success, selling more than 20 million records worldwide and topping charts across the globe. The band's first song, Slam Dunk (Da Funk), went to number 10 in the UK, and the follow-up, When The Lights Go Out, achieved the same ranking on the US Billboard chart. They were one of the first bands to utilise the talents of Swedish hitmaker Max Martin and famously turned down the opportunity to record ...Baby, One More Time before Britney Spears turned it into an era-defining smash.
The band's original members have had their fair share of ups and downs over the years, with Sean Conlon walking out during an interview to promote the 2001 single Let's Dance and never coming back due to a mental breakdown. The band officially split up in 2001, but has reunited on several occasions since then, albeit without all five original members. However, with Abz Love's recent announcement that he is rejoining the band, fans are excited to see the original lineup perform together again. The reunion is a long time coming, and the band is ready to get back on stage and perform their hits for their loyal fans, with the help of technology to make the experience even more enjoyable.
The tour schedule is as follows:
- October 31, 2025: Brighton
- November 1, 2025: Bournemouth
- November 2, 2025: Cardiff
- November 4, 2025: Nottingham
