For the first time in 25 years, British boy band Five are reuniting for a massive UK tour, and fans are queuing up in their droves to sign up for the presale.
In news sure to delight millennials across the nation, all five original members of the 90s pop group will be taking to the stage for a string of shows that are sure to sell fast.
Five made the announcement last week, saying: “It’s true, the five of us are reuniting for a tour across the UK!! This has been a long time coming and it really does feel right for all of us now - 25 years on and we’re so ready for it.
