The band now comprising of Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, and Scott Robinson topped the UK charts with songs like the 1998 hit When the Lights Go Out (don't say you don't know it)

Originally a five-piece they split up in 2001 after selling 10 million records worldwide. They went on to reform in 2013 after featuring in the ITV2 documentary series The Big Reunion and have enjoyed a number of tours as a three-piece since.

Five will be supported on the evening in Blackpool by up and coming bands Groove and the Bathtub Pings and NGUVU.

Kris who launched Hang Tight Promotions last year said he was very excited to announce the 2020 concert.
