UPDATE: Five thrilled fans at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle last night, marking the boyband’s first performance together in over 20 years. The reunion tour kicked off with a packed crowd, showcasing the group’s iconic hits and undeniable energy that transported fans back to the late ’90s.
As the clock struck 8 PM, the arena erupted with excitement as Abz, Ritchie, J, Sean, and Scott took the stage, reminding everyone why they were dubbed the “bad boys of pop.” Their performance felt timeless, with classics like “Everybody Get Up” and “We Will Rock You,” delivering a nostalgic experience that resonated deeply with attendees.
The atmosphere was electric, with fans singing along to every word, creating an immersive experience that was both uplifting and exhilarating. One concertgoer expressed, “It felt like a huge family reunion; we all grew up with their music.”
In a surprising twist, Five chose to perform with a live band, adding depth and vibrancy to their set. The opening number, “Slam Du Funk,” hit like a freight train, setting the tone for the night. The pulsating basslines and crashing guitars elevated tracks like “If Ya Gettin’ Down,” making them even more memorable.
Despite the years gone by, Five’s vocal talents shone brightly. A standout moment included Scott’s powerful rendition of “Until The Time is Through,” featuring an impressive key change that had the audience cheering.
The production of the show was nothing short of spectacular, with top-notch visuals and camera work that transformed each song into a mini music video. Long-forgotten fan favorites like “Lay All Your Lovin’ on Me” and “Straight Up Funk” made surprise appearances, delighting the crowd.
J candidly shared, “A few years ago, I never thought I’d be back on stage with these guys. This is a dream come true.” The reunion has sparked hope for a new chapter in Five’s career, with their participation confirmed for the upcoming Mighty Hoopla festival next year.
As Storm Claudia looms, the energy inside the arena was enough to dispel any gloomy forecasts. Fans left feeling rejuvenated, reminiscing about a carefree time while embracing the present.
This reunion not only celebrates the past but also paves the way for Five’s resurgence in the music scene. With their undeniable talent and charisma, Five has proven they still have the ability to captivate audiences, leaving fans eager for what’s to come.
