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.
Speaking about getting back together, the band said: “It’s so good to be back!! We have all been so overwhelmed by the response following the tour announcement. Thanks again for all the lovely messages and support, it means the world to us.
“It’s such fun seeing ourselves back on TV, on the radio and on the front pages of newspapers and being added to playlists…We can’t wait to see you all in October.”
Previously-announced dates for the tour are on sale now, with tickets for the three extra dates available to purchase from 10:00am on Friday (February 24) via www.gigsandtours.com and www.ticketmaster.co.uk.
