On Friday June 3 Lisa Scott-Lee, Ian 'H' Watkins, Faye Tozer, Lee Latchford-Evans and Claire Richards will descend upon Mighty Hoopla to bring a party to London's Brockwell Park. Headlining the capital's most inclusive festival, Steps are ready to kick off their 25th anniversary celebrations in style; performing their biggest hits to a 25,000-strong crowd.
As the group announce their career-spanning Platinum Collection release - including all the classics, new tracks and some reimagined material, we caught up with Lisa and Faye to find out what they've got in store.
We’ve had a great time rehearsing for Mighty Hoopla. We’re so excited, we’re on form. It’s a great line-up. And the fact we’re headlining, we’re so excited.
Yeah, we're dead chuffed.
That was so funny, they just came in like ‘oh, hi!’ They were in and out of everyone’s rehearsal rooms.
It was really nice. We saw Anastacia as well, she was so lovely.
We have some exciting surprises, but that’s all we can say.
We like to have a nice element of something new, to make things bespoke for each festival. We’ve got something special for Mighty Hoopla.
Just a little fun treat, you know? Also, this is the first time all five of us will be back on stage together and we can’t wait. It’s been so much fun, being in rehearsals and having a laugh saying ‘how do we do this one again?’. We’ve been celebrating.
I think it’s important to; not just for the audience, but for us as well. 5, 6, 7, 8 we’ve been performing for 25 years, so we always spice them up.
We’re so lucky, we’ve got Steve Anderson doing our music. He’s been with us for a while now, and he just has this amazing ear for pop. He also puts in some of our remixes, working bits of those into the live
