Will Steps Comeback Show Be A 'Tragedy' Or Will It Cause A 'Chain Reaction' Of 90s Kids Reliving Their Childhood?

The 90s super group Steps comeback tour hits Glasgow this Friday and I for one cannot wait. Unfortunately I do not have tickets for the show this week but I do have tickets for their show in Glasgow's Braehead Arena later this month! :)

Steps 'The Ultimate Tour' kicked off in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday the 2nd of April and will see the band play 29 shows in arena's across the UK. The tour is Steps first since reforming after splitting up 10 years ago. The band have (thankfully for many 90s kids like myself) managed to put their differences behind them to get back on stage to perform many of their greatest hits. The tour has been very well received by the British public, so much so that more dates were added due to the huge demand for tickets. This didn't surprise me in the slightest as for most people around my age (I'm 19) Steps were part of their childhood. I remember when I was 7 being so excited to go see my very first concert and Steps certainly didn't disappoint. In fact I loved them so much I went to see them again the next year. So when it was announced that Steps were going to be hitting the road again there was no doubt that me and many of my friends would be buying tickets! I'm sure that Friday night, and when I attended on April the 23th, the arena will be full of late teens and 20 somethings have a ball singing along to their favourite childhood anthems!




The tour will see Steps resurrect and revamp some of their classics such as Tragedy, Better The Devil You Know and  5,6,7,8 (and don't anyone reading this try to pretend that you don't know the dance cause we all do!). The band will also work some newer songs into their set list when each band member performs their solo. Lee will perform a mash up of Rihanna's S&M and Maroon 5's Move Like Jagger, Faye will give her rendition of One Night Only and Claire: I Surrender. Lisa will also be mashing songs together: Heaven, Beautiful People and Lately, whilst H will take on Journey's anthem Don't Stop Believing.



   
Below is Steps Performing 'One For Sorrow' on their opening night in Belfast.


Unfortunately the Glasgow dates are now sold out, however fear not you can still relived Steps glory days as  'The Ultimate Tour' is accompanied by an album of Steps greatest hits: 'The Ultimate Collection.' You can download the album HERE to listen to before the show so you can remind yourself of the lyrics and practice your dance moves! Or if you, like me, embarrassing still have your Steps greatest hits album from before the band split in the 90s just turn it up in the car and remind yourself why you loved the band so much the first time round!


So people of Scotland get you devil horns ready and get ready to act like a child again for one night only and please let me know just how good Friday night's show is!
