STEPS – LIVE IN YOUR LIVING ROOM; SATURDAY 22 DECEMBER.

MEN ARENA, MANCHESTER

Four years have passed since STEPS bounded into British musical history with their first hit ‘5-6-7-8’. Thirteen Top 10 singles and four multi-platinum albums later, they are now an unstoppable global phenomenon, having had more consecutive Top 5 singles than any group other than The Beatles.

STEPS are now back on the road after seeing their new greatest hits album ‘Gold’ rocket to Number One in the UK charts and Sky Box Office will be joining Faye, H, Claire, Lee and Lisa at the MEN Arena in Manchester for a steptacular live show.

So it seems we get an extended interview this time… also gives away that the show should be at least 1 hour 45 mins long, probably nearer the 2 hour mark I guess. Cable people (like me) will have to wait until a week or even closer to the event until we get information on it and how to order. Also isn’t this more expensive than the last PPV show?
