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!

Glasgow Becomes Latest "Battleground" For The Wanted

Tomorrow night The Wanted will take to the stage at Glasgow's SECC. The band's "The Code" tour lands them in the SECC's hall 4 for the first time having previously played in the neighbouring Clyde Auditorium. This stop in Glasgow marks the mid way point of the bands first ever UK arena tour which comes on the back of the bands recent chart success. The Wanted have sold over half a million copies of their sophomore album "Battleground" in the UK and "Glad You Came" the first single from the album flew to the top of the charts in late 2011.

I think "Glad You Came" is a great pop record. It's upbeat feel, combined with the bands vocals which compliment each other and the song perfectly, made the song a hit!

Current US ITunes Chart

Since the turn of the year The Wanted have been focused on trying to break in to the American music market. They went on a 10 date tour of the states throughout January and February of 2012. The touring seems to be paying off for the band, they have climbed into the top 5 this week in the US ITunes chart and currently hold the number one spot on the Canadian ITunes chart.

The Wanted themselves can hardly believe there current success across the pond and took to twitter to share their love and thanks with their fanbase.

The icing on the cake for The Wanted's American achievements was the appearance of their hit single "Glad You Came" on Fox TV smash Glee.

Fear not The Wanted fans, despite their new found American success the band have not forgotten about their loyal UK supporters.
