Five reunion: everything we know about band's comeback

Are they ready to make us get down, down all over again?

Five reunion

They were one of the biggest boy bands of the late '90s and early noughties, with three Number 1 singles and a chart-topping album to their name, and now Five appear to be teasing some big news.

Earlier today, the group's official Instagram wiped all previous content, posting a Reel filmed at London Euston station, showing lyrics from their 1999 Number 1 Keep On Movin' alongside the caption '27.02.25 Loading...' and the reveal of a brand-new official website.

And, while details are very vague right now, fans are struggling to contain their excitement at the prospect of a comeback.

The band's original line-up - Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Sean Conlon, Jason 'J' Brown and Abz Love - were active between 1997 and 2001, before Sean's departure amid promotion of their third studio album Kingsize.

The group then reformed without J in 2012, taking part in 2013 ITV2 series The Big Reunion, before Abz's departure in 2014.

Since then, Five have performed as a three-piece; releasing their last album Time in 2022.

Could 2025 mark the start of a new era for the band? With the lads posting their teaser to social media, one fan commented 'Please say you’re ALL getting back together,' with another saying 'WOWWWW COME TO BRAZIL WE ARE READY.'

Never change, Brazil. Never change.
