5ive: 90s chart-toppers set to play all their hits at Middlesbrough gig


There may be only three of them nowadays - but boyband 5ive are back on the road and heading to Middlesbrough.


As part of their eight date Loud and Intimate Tour, the trio - Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon - will play The Venue on Friday, April 17.


Formed in 1997 as, appropriately enough, a five-piece, the band was one of the hottest boybands around and enjoyed a string of hit singles, including the number ones Keep on Movin', We Will Rock You (with Queen) and Let’s Dance.


Since then, they have disbanded and reformed a couple of times, with various members staying and leaving.


After reforming as a four-piece in 2012 - and featuring in ITV2 show The Big Reunion - interest in the band reignited.


They are now touring as a trio after founder member Abz Love left last year, just weeks after 5ive supported McBusted on an arena tour.


General standing tickets, at £27.50 plus a £3 booking fee, are available now for the Middlesbrough gig, which is set to feature all the number ones and other hits like Slam Dunk (Da Funk) and Everybody Get Up.


The tour starts at Bristol’s O2 Academy on April 16 and includes shows in Glasgow, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham and London’s O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire.


The Venue, on Linthorpe Road, recently hosted a gig by former UB40 stars Ali Campbell, Astro and Mickey, which led to complaints of overcrowding.


The claims were denied by organisers Loose Cannon, who are also organising the 5ive show.


Tickets are available now here.
