• Tour Rewatch: Summer 2000 Arena Tour (Live@Wembley 2000)

  Ooo Ooo!! The tour rewatch continues as we look back at the Summer 2000 Arena Tour - a massive step up from the previous year’s Next Step Tour. No space buggies or rocket ships this time; instead, we’re treated to a Gothic City set, with the band determined to prove they’d grown up and earned their status as the best-selling British live act.The tour ran for 31 dates, including a special June 10th show at Wembley for 1,000 lucky competition winners. That performance was recorded for VHS and released to coincide with their third album, Buzz. Following the tour’s success in May, five additional open-air shows were added with the same set list, bringing the total to 36 - their longest to date.There’s so much to unpack in this show: H’s iconic performance of Lay All Your Love On Me (serving acrobatics Pink could only dream of), Faye and Lee teasing solo tracks that still haven’t seen the light of day (release R Dancing from the vaults please), and of course, the debut of the infamous Steptoons.Follow ‘Glitter & Gold: The Original Steps Podcast’:Instagram, TikTok & X: @glitterstepspodScott: @scottlove87Shane: @stepmeisterBrad: @bradszmerlingEmail: [email protected] Logo & Brand Design: BvrlyCreative Hosted on Acast.

• Tour Rewatch: The Next Step Tour (1999)

  GO STEPS, GO STEPS!!! Strap into the Steps space buggy and blast off with us to the glittering world of 1999, as we relive one of the most iconic pop arena tours the UK has ever seen.We take a nostalgic deep dive into The Next Step Tour, the Steptacular arena tour that didn’t just break records - it redefined what a pop concert could be. With its ground breaking staging, high-octane dance routines, and wall-to-wall hits, the tour transformed arenas into dance floors night after night.Drawing over 350,000 fans across 33 sold-out shows, The Next Step Tour earned its place in UK music history as the biggest pop tour of all time. It helped cement Steps' reputation as a live powerhouse - and earned them the BRIT Award for Best Selling Live Act of 1999.From Scotts personal memories of seeing the concert IRL, to the lasting impact it had on Shane and Brad (it was the perfect way to learn those dance routines), we rewatch a tour that laid the foundation for the group’s legacy as one of pop’s most beloved live acts.Here & Now - The Steps Musical is touring the UK and Ireland in 2025/26.
