B*Witched, 5ive, S Club and more: Stepback! 90s vs 00s show coming to Birmingham
A concert bringing together some of the biggest music acts from the 90s and 00s is coming to Birmingham next year.
B*Witched, 5ive, S Club, Fatman Scoop, Blazin Squad, Big Brovaz, East 17, 911 and Booty Luv will all perform at the Genting Arena as part of the Stepback! 90s vs 00s show, with the headline act still to be announced.
Dan Nelmes from concert promoter Showtime Live said: “Music from these decades is undoubtedly experiencing a revival and brings different generations together.
“We held our first round of indoor Stepback! 90s concerts just a few weeks ago which attracted around 50,000 people, and due to popular demand we are now bringing the concert to Birmingham for the first time.
“90s and 00s kids are now grown-up, and our concerts have shown people in their late teens and 20s partying with their parents to reminisce the years gone by.
“Previous concerts have seen early bird tickets snapped up within the hour so we’d urge people to get theirs as soon as they can – there ain’t no party like a Stepback! party.”
