S Club 7 announce additional dates for their 25th anniversary stadium tour

S Club 7 have added additional dates to their upcoming reunion tour to celebrate their 25-year legacy.

The seven members of the popular band – Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole, Rachel Stevens and Tina Barrett – announced last week that they would be performing a series of UK arena shows.

The pop group have added three concerts, which will take place at Manchester’s AO Arena on October 12 this year, a matinee concert at London’s O2 Arena on October 28 and one at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on October 29. October, with tickets on sale on Friday 24. February.

Speaking about getting back together, the band said: ‘It’s so good to be back! We’ve all been so overwhelmed by the response after the tour announcement.

‘Thanks again for all the lovely messages and support, it means a lot to us.

“It’s so much fun to see each other again on TV, on the radio and on the front pages of newspapers and adding us to playlists…

“We can’t wait to see you all in October.”

The band, who released four albums between 1999 and 2002 and went on to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide, are set to perform their hits, including their four UK number one singles Bring It All Back, Never Had a Dream Come True, Don’t Stop moving, have you ever?

It comes after S Club fans were left furious after only one band member turned up to sing at a sold-out concert.

Tina and Bradley had been booked to perform in a 150-capacity bar, and tickets sold out in 90 seconds at £23 a piece.

However, the night Tina was away, Bradley showed up alone and angered the fans.

They took to the venue’s Facebook page to complain, writing: ‘What a disappointment.

‘I showed up to find out that they can’t act as S Club as they have signed a contract and not Tina. However, happy to take everyone’s money.

Another person tweeted: ‘What a disappointing night. I felt so bad for Bradley.

A third person repeated: ‘Absolutely furious! I paid a lot of money to see two members of the S Club 7 and only one showed up. We were also not notified about this.

The bar, Wyld, responded to the controversy, explaining that it was due to contractual obligations after the band announced their reunion.

Owner Josh Peverley told the Isle of Wight County Press: “Unfortunately, this situation was out of our hands, and when we booked the show earlier this year, there was no speculation or confirmation of an S Club 7 reunion, so contractual obligations meant they couldn’t appear at the show. who had booked and sold tickets for.’

It comes after S Club 7 recently announced that they will be reuniting for a special 25th anniversary tour.

The band said in a statement: “After eight years, it feels amazing to announce that we will be reuniting and performing together again.

“We are so excited to bring S Club Party back to our fans across the country to celebrate 25 years of S Club 7. We can’t even believe it’s been so long!

“Music and friendship have always been at the center of everything we’ve done. We hope everyone can join us for a great party!’

After the announcement was made, the group went on BBC’s The One Show for their first interview.

Rachel said, “We’re so excited to be back and singing our hearts out.”

When asked about the possibility of new music, Bradley said: ‘If you know, you know. We are bringing nostalgia, in today’s time we need a bit of positive.

Jon said: ‘I don’t think we’ve changed that much. We all immediately said yes and created a WhatsApp group called S Clubbers.

Rachel added: “It feels like the right time to spread some positivity.”

Paul continued, “We’d like our fans to let us know what kind of songs they want to hear.”

Jo has had many operations on her back in recent years, but said she was determined to join the other six on tour.

She said: ‘I’m ready, I’m doing physio, I’m starting to strengthen my back. But I will be there on that stage 100 percent.

Speaking about her long-standing popularity, Hannah added: “It’s amazing that Gen Z is taking back TikTok, but I’ll just add that everyone says they’re reaching for the stars.”

Speaking about her fashion choices, Rachel explained: “The ’90s were special for fashion and there are little bits and pieces we’ll take from that.”

They said they were more excited to sing Reach and felt less pressure to perform than in the past.

speaking to Sun the group said they wanted to do Glastonbury, with Jo saying: ‘We’ve been very lucky. But we need Glastonbury next. I will manifest it. We have to do it. Can you imagine the entire Glastonbury crowd singing Reach? It would be pretty amazing.

The band said they would have rejoined even sooner if it hadn’t been for the fact that they couldn’t find Jon.

He said, ‘That’s why it took so long to do this, they couldn’t find me.’ I was in India for three and a half years. I went on a trip and then I found some dogs that I adopted and brought home.’

The members have now grown up and have children of their own, with Hannah noting: ‘I realized today that between us we have seven children. Isn’t that creepy? And it’s the same ratio of three boys and four girls.
