‘90s boyband East 17 are heading out on a Christmas tour this winter, stopping at two Kent venues along the way.
The group, best known for their festive single Stay Another Day, will begin their tour of the county at the Central Theatre in Chatham on Saturday, November 19.
They will then perform to fans at the Assembly Hall Theatre in Tunbridge Wells on Wednesday, November 23.
The band first formed in the early ‘90s and achieved the Christmas No. 1 in 1994 with Stay Another Day, which became their biggest-selling single to date.
Over the course of their career, East 17 have had 18 Top 20 singles, four Top 10 albums and have sold more than 18 million records.
The group will be joined on their Christmas tour by special guests S Club All Stars.
The trio, made up of S Club 7 members Bradley McIntosh and Tina Barrett and S Club Juniors singer Stacey McClean, will be performing numbers from their combined back-catalogue, including 15 Top 10 hits and four No 1 singles.
Also joining the tour is Blazin' Squad, who shot to fame in 2002 with their cover of Bone Thugs-N-Harmony song Crossroads.
The 10-piece group also released hits such as We Just Be Dreamin', Flip Reverse and Love on the Line throughout the 2010s.
