A NINETIES boyband look likely to bring their catchy pop tunes to Glastonbury Festival this summer, according to bookmakers.
Newly-reunited 5ive are already at just 3/1 to make it to Worthy Farm after all full five members announced their first tour together in 25 years.
Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: “We’ve seen other pop heroes turn up for secret shows in Somerset, such as the Sugababes in 2022, and the odds suggest we shouldn’t be too surprised if the 5ive lads follow suit at this year’s Glastonbury.”
Abz, J, Ritchie, Scott and Sean will hit the road for 12 huge arena dates on the Keep On Movin’ 2025 Tour – starting in Brighton on October 31.
They will then perform around the country with shows in Bournemouth, Cardiff, Nottingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham, Newcastle, Aberdeen and Glasgow, as well as London’s O2 Arena.
Insiders told The Sun the tour would see the group performing their biggest hits including If Ya Getting’ Down, Everybody Get Up, Let’s Dance and When The Lights Go Out.
Producer Naughty Boy is booked as the warm-up act for all 12 shows and will play a DJ set.
A source told The Sun: “No one thought they’d see the day that Abz, J, Ritchie, Scott and Sean would reunite.
“But after 25 years the time felt right and they couldn’t be more excited to be back together.”
Confirming the news, Scott said: “This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now – 25 years on and we’re so ready for it.
“Reconnecting as a five over the last year has been special and I know I speak for all the boys when I say we can’t wait to do this all over again.”
Abz added: “We really can’t wait to get back on stage together and see the fans, it’s going to go off.”
Speculation about all five of the group coming back together went into overdrive earlier this week when Abz confirmed he had rejoined the group.
He shared the tweet he used to announce his exit from Five back in 2014 and wrote above it: “As of today I am once again a member of Five.
“Thank you to all the fans who support us, I love you all.”The group also used their social media accounts to tease the announcement.
Five split on 27 September 2001 but have reunited several times over the years.
In 2006 they performed without Sean briefly, and then in 2012 tried again – this time with Sean but without J.
Most recently Sean, Ritchie and Scott, performed together as a trio.During their career they sold over 20 million records, landing 11 Top Ten 10 hits, including three No1s, and four Top Ten albums including their debut self-titled record which went straight to the top of the UK charts.
Their debut single, Slam Dunk Da Funk, peaked at No10 in the charts but the follow up, When The Lights Go Out, propelled them to stardom in the UK and US.
