'Love conquers everything': Five kick off their long-awaited reunion in Cardiff - here's what they performed

• Five have kicked off their long-awaited reunion tour in style overnight.
• The band performed in Cardiff with a sensational setlist of classics.
• Here’s what the group performed on their first reunion tour date, where they are heading next, and if you’ve left it too late to pick up tickets.

One of the most eagerly anticipated reunion tours kicked off last night - no, not Oasis, but the return of boy band Five after a 25-year absence performing as a full unit.

Gracing the stage at the Utilita Arena in Cardiff, the 21-song-strong set featured some of their most critically and commercially successful tracks, including a rousing performing of ‘Keep On Movin’’ from what those in attendance have attested to on social media shortly afterwards.

The outpouring of love for the group’s return was one felt by band member J Brown, who shared on stage his thoughts on their return: “Never in our wildest dreams could me and the guys have imagined we’d share a stage again. It really does show that at the end of the day, love conquers everything.

“The love and the bond that these five dudes have, and everything we’ve been through together, has made this possible. It’s beautiful.”

Here’s exactly what the group performed to start their ongoing UK tour and, if you’re now tempted by the proposition, when and where you can catch them on the road throughout November.
