Wembley Arena, London
The cheese-pop originators are on good form as they deliver two hours of hits with the gusto of a West End musical
After a far from amicable split at the turn of the millennium, 90s cheese-pop originators Steps unexpectedly made peace in 2012 via a TV special. With a comeback tour and a Christmas album having cemented Lisa, Claire, Faye, H and Lee’s return, the group released a new album, Tears on the Dancefloor, earlier this year. The success of this record, and the fact that it’s 20 years since they first entered the UK charts, has prompted yet another arena tour. Following a sold-out night show at the O2, they’re on to a near-packed Wembley. Fans in devil horns lurk, ready for Kylie cover Better the Devil You Know; impromptu iterations of the One for Sorrow dance take place in foyers; fellow Lycra-loving LGBT icons the Vengaboys are on support duty. If it wasn’t for the fact that it was parents leading their teenagers around the place and not the other way around, you’d think it was 1999.
