Five are heading to Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena for two iconic nights of live music

Five kicked off their long-awaited Keep On Moving’ arena tour last night at a sold-out Utilita Arena in Cardiff in style.

Reuniting for their first tour in 25 years, Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon exploded onto the stage with a showstopping performance and an electrifying, hit-packed set that had fans on their feet from the moment the lights dimmed in the arena and the first notes of “Slam Dunk (Da Funk)” hit.  

The 90-minute show spanned Five’s chart-topping career from “If Ya Gettin’ Down”, “Everybody Get Up” and international smash “When The Lights Go Out” to No.1s “Keep On Movin’”, “We Will Rock You”, “Let’s Dance” and more, with a few surprises along the way. Backed by a full live band and a production that set the stage alight, it was a night to remember, filled with the magic that defined a generation and a true celebration of timeless pop.  

In an emotional moment on stage, J Brown said:  

“Never in our wildest dreams could me and the guys have imagined we’d share a stage again. It really does show that at the end of the day love conquers everything. 

The love and the bond that these five dudes have, and everything we’ve been through together, has made this possible. It’s beautiful.” 

Sean Conlon added: 

“Back in the 1990s when we made this genre of pop, people did not expect for it to mean so much to so many people 25 years on. This is absolutely incredible.” 

Formed in 1997, Five went on to sell more than 20 million records worldwide, charting in over 20 countries. They are the only UK act to hit the Top 10 with all of their 11 singles, including three No.1s. The boy band sensation’s first album, the double-platinum Five, debuted at No.1 on the Official Charts in 1998, with follow-up Invincible also certifying double platinum in 1999. Five embarked on a successful world tour, performing shows in the UK, US, Europe, South America, Australia and Asia. Their upcoming Keep On Movin’ tour, which starts on 29th October 2025, will be the first time all five band members share the stage together in over 25 years. After initially going on sale with 12 shows, the tour now spans 25 arenas across the UK and Ireland. 2026 will be another exciting year as they continue the tour overseas in Australia and New Zealand, with further plans in the pipeline.
