On 31 October, the Manchester concert will shown on Sky Box Office. It costs £9.95 to pre-order events before the day, and costs £11.95 to watch on the day. On cable TV it is always £11.95, though these prices may change. As the Robbie Williams concert was also shown on the Sky website it is likely that the Steps concert will also be shown on the internet, although it will cost money. It may even be possible that the same concert will eventually be sold on video. More information as we get it.

The Sky Box Office concert will have a Halloween theme as previously stated. But interestingly, Ian is going to be a vampire! We can’t wait to see this show, it sounds fantastic and as for what costumes the rest of the guys will have on – only time will tell! This is all from the large spread in this month’s Sky TV guide. If you go into a satellite TV suppliers and ask really nicely they may let you buy one for £2.50.

Steps will be performing at the TV HITS 10th anniversary awards finale. Other artists attending the event are A1, 5ive and Vengaboys. Check back later today for more info and booking information so you can get the best seats.
