UPDATE: Boyband Five thrilled fans at the Utilita Arena in Newcastle last night, marking their first performance together in over 20 years. The crowd erupted with excitement as the band delivered a high-energy set filled with classic hits that transported attendees back to the ’90s.
Fans packed the arena for the Friday night concert, showcasing a nostalgic reunion that felt electric. Five, known for their “bad boys of pop” image since their launch in 1997, embraced their legacy with raucous performances and a live band that added depth to their iconic tracks.
The concert kicked off with the pulsating “Slam Du Funk,” instantly energizing the audience. Hits like “Everybody Get Up” and “If Ya Gettin’ Down” followed, with the band demonstrating their timeless appeal. The show also featured softer moments, allowing lead vocalist Scott to shine during his impressive key change in “Until the Time is Through.”
J, one of the band members, shared candid reflections on the reunion, expressing disbelief that they were back on stage performing for such enthusiastic fans. “A few years ago, I would have never imagined this,” he said, highlighting the emotional significance of the night.
The production was nothing short of spectacular, with slick visuals and camera work that transformed each song into a mini music video. The arena buzzed with nostalgia, as fans sang along to favorites like “Lay All Your Lovin’ on Me” and “Partyline.”
This concert was not only a celebration of their past but also a promising sign for Five’s future. They’ve already been confirmed to perform at the Mighty Hoopla festival next year, sparking speculation about a potential resurgence in their music career.
As the night wrapped up, it was clear that Five still has the power to captivate audiences, proving that their music has stood the test of time. The atmosphere in Newcastle was a testament to the band’s enduring legacy and connection with fans, leaving many eager for what comes next.
With Storm Claudia looming over the region, the energy inside the arena was enough to brighten the darkest skies. Fans embraced a night of joy and nostalgia, creating memories that will last well beyond this epic reunion.
