All the rumours are true – S Club 7 are back, and they’re heading out on a massive arena tour of the UK and Ireland later this year.
Fans were absolutely overcome with excitement after reports emerged and rumours began circulating earlier this year that S Club 7 were set for a “massive reunion tour” – but now, after months of speculation, it’s finally been confirmed that the iconic 90s pop group is returning for a reunion tour in celebration of their 25-year legacy.
Unlike some previous reunions of fellow 90s and 00s pop groups in recent years, the S Club 7 Reunited tour will actually see all seven members – Bradley, Hannah, Jo, Jon, Paul, Rachel, and Tina – come together for an 11-date arena tour across the UK and Ireland.
The group says the reunion tour is an opportunity for S Club 7 fans of every generation to come together and re-experience the hits that soundtracked the British charts for five years.
We can't wait to be reunited with you all this October 🇬🇧

In 2002, the group sadly began to fracture and success started dwindling after Paul Cattermole left due to “creative differences”, which left the remaining members having to fight and deny a raft of rumours presuming they were about to split up – until they finally announced in April 2003 on stage during a live performance that they were calling it quits.
But now, with a string of multi-platinum selling albums, and international hit singles to their name, S Club 7 are “a household name once again ready to rise”.
