Description
The announcement Steps are to headline at Lytham Festival comes as singers Lee, Claire, Lisa, Faye and ‘H’ well and truly marked their return last year with stunning new album Tears On The Dancefloor and a string of sold out arena shows.
In a hit-packed career, Steps have scored 14 top 5 singles, sold more than 20 million records and reached Number One with three albums and three singles.
And their dancefloor-filling, feelgood brand of pop – which gave us such huge hits as 5, 6, 7, 8, One For Sorrow, Stomp and Tragedy – is proving just as popular today as it’s ever been.
After announcing their return last year to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the band released Tears On The Dancefloor – their first full album of original material since 2000.
Featuring such tracks as Scared of the Dark, Neon Blue, Dancing With A Broken Heart – together with the wondrous Story of a Heart written by Abba legends Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus – the album reached Number Two in the UK Charts and has been a hit with fans new and old.
Tickets for the band’s ‘Party On The Dancefloor Tour’ sold out in a flash, with more arena dates added to meet the phenomenal demand.
It was clear proof that after 20 years Steps – who in 2001 set the then record for the most consecutive sold-out nights at Wembley Arena and have played to millions of fans over the years – remain a must-see live act.
Danish Eurodance star Whigfield is best known for her 90s hit Saturday Night, while Vengaboys will get the night rocking with such classic party anthems as We Like To Party and We’re Going To Ibiza. 80s DJ and TV star Pat Sharp will be warming up the crowds following his successful performance at Lytham Festival last year. The former Radio 1 star and FunHouse host will be mixing up tracks on the decks as he prepares festival-goers for Lytham’s party night of the year.
