In an exciting development for pop music enthusiasts, the iconic 1990s boyband Five has officially announced a reunion tour across the United Kingdom in 2025. This marks the first time in over two decades that all five original members—Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, and Sean Conlon—will perform together on stage.

A Long-Awaited Reunion

Formed in 1997, Five quickly rose to fame with chart-topping hits like “Slam Dunk (Da Funk),” “Everybody Get Up,” and “Keep On Movin’.” The group achieved significant success, selling over 20 million records worldwide and earning a BRIT Award for Best British Pop Act in 2000. Despite their disbandment in 2001, the band’s music has continued to resonate with fans old and new.

The reunion has been a topic of speculation for years, with various hints and teases fueling anticipation. In February 2025, fans noticed that the band’s official Instagram account had been wiped clean, replaced with a cryptic post featuring lyrics from their hit song “Keep On Movin'” displayed on a ticker board at London’s Euston Station. The caption read, “27.02.25 Loading…” suggesting a significant announcement on that date. Further investigation revealed the registration of a new company, All Five Ltd, listing all original members as directors, indicating a formal reunion was in the works.

The “Keep On Movin’ 2025” Tour

The upcoming “Keep On Movin’ 2025” tour is set to be a nostalgic journey for fans, featuring a 12-date arena schedule across the UK. The tour kicks off on October 31, 2025, at the Brighton Centre and concludes on November 16, 2025, at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro. Notable venues include The O2 in London, AO Arena in Manchester, and Utilita Arena in Birmingham.

Tickets are slated to go on general sale on March 7, 2025, with a presale beginning on March 5 for fans who sign up through the band’s official website. Given the band’s enduring popularity, high demand is anticipated, and fans are encouraged to secure their tickets promptly.

Band Members Share Their Excitement

The members of Five have expressed their enthusiasm about reuniting and performing together once again. Scott Robinson stated, “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. Reconnecting as a five 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. Hope you’re ready!”

Abz Love added, “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together and see the fans; it’s gonna go OFF! Buzzing to have Naughty Boy on tour with us too… five bad boys and a naughty boy, that sounds like a lot of fun. Let’s gooooo!”

Special Guest: Naughty Boy

Adding to the excitement, renowned DJ and producer Naughty Boy will join the tour as a special guest, performing a warm-up DJ set at each show. Known for his collaborations with artists like Beyoncé, Sam Smith, and Emeli Sandé, Naughty Boy’s involvement promises to enhance the concert experience, blending nostalgic hits with contemporary sounds.

Fan Reactions and Anticipation

The announcement has been met with overwhelming enthusiasm from fans, many of whom have taken to social media to express their excitement. The prospect of seeing all five original members perform together has ignited a wave of nostalgia, with fans reminiscing about the band’s impact during the late ’90s and early 2000s. The inclusion of Naughty Boy has also been praised, with supporters eager to see the fusion of classic pop and modern beats.

The “Keep On Movin’ 2025” tour signifies a monumental moment in pop music, bringing together the original lineup of Five for the first time in 25 years. With a series of performances scheduled across major UK arenas and the addition of special guest Naughty Boy, the tour promises to deliver an unforgettable experience for fans. As the music industry continues to celebrate reunions and nostalgia, Five’s return stands out as a testament to their enduring legacy and the timeless appeal of their music.
