Five will embark on the 12-date Keep On Movin’ tour this year, starting at the Brighton Centre on October 31 and running until November 16, when the group will play the tour’s final gig at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro.
Along the way the band will also perform at London’s O2 Arena, Cardiff’s Utilita Arena and Manchester’s AO Arena, supported by DJ Naughty Boy.
Love said he would advise young people starting out in music to “think about it” rather than “rushing in”, but the band said they thought the industry was “nicer” in the current day than back in the 1990s.
Five said their fame had been “instant” in the 1990s when they formed and said they related to the struggles of getting famous at a young age evidenced in the BBC’s Boybands Forever documentary series, which some of their number featured in.
The group were also keen to reunite with Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen, who they performed with during their original run together, and recorded a cover of the band’s We Will Rock You, but said nothing had been planned yet.
