Iconic 80s rock band are reuniting after 34 years for new tour and single – but can you guess who they are?
They formed in the mid-eighties and achieved immediate success with their first solo single Perfect.
And Fairground Attraction have reunited 34 years after breaking up in 1990 for a new tour and comeback single.
Vocalist Eddie Reader, bassist Simon Edwards, guitarist Mark Nevin and drummer Ray Dodds have returned to the group.
The group achieved their first number one with Perfect in 1988 and followed it up with another top 10 hit, Find My Love.
Two Brit Awards followed the following year before the band split in 1990 as they struggled to cope with fame.

Eddie and Mark lost each other after the breakup, but they hooked up in 2023 and the idea for a comeback soon followed.
Mark said: ‘I can’t tell you how great it is to be back together. We had all given up hope that this would ever happen.
“It’s eerie, like we’re ghosts that have come back to life, but something happens between us when we play together.”
Fairground Attraction’s debut album The First Of A Million Kisses reached number two in the charts and went platinum.
Their second album Ay Fond Kiss failed to match the success of their first and peaked at number 55.
However, they found a devoted fan base in Japan, where they toured in 1989 and will tour again this year.
Fairground Attraction’s new single What’s Wrong With The World? comes out Friday.
Tickets for their new tour of Great Britain and Ireland go on sale on Thursday.
