S Club 7 to kick-off reunion tour in Manchester as extra dates added following 'phenomenal demand'

S Club 7 will now kick-off their 25th anniversary reunion in Manchester as extra tour dates have been added due to ‘phenomenal demand’.

The recently-reunited band previously announced an 11-date arena tour across venues in the UK and Ireland in October later this year, including a now sold-out stop at Manchester’s AO Arena on October 21.

Following the sold-out success of other dates in London, Sheffield, Cardiff, and Birmingham, the band have announced three new dates. The band will now begin the tour at the AO Arena in Manchester on October 12 with an extra matinee date at London’s The O2 added on October 28 and another visit to Birmingham’s Utilita Arena on October 29.

The seven-piece group, who sold more than 10 million albums worldwide, had four multi-platinum selling albums, won two BRIT Awards, and nine number-one international hit singles, including 'Bring It All Back' and 'Don't Stop Moving'.

'The S Club 7 Reunited' tour will see all seven members Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett come together for the first time since a brief reunion in 2015.
