British Pop institution S CLUB are on the comeback trail, reuniting for a limited engagement on their THE GOOD TIMES TOUR! Back are members Rachel Stevens, Jo O’Meara, Bradley McIntosh, Jon Lee and Tina Barrett and oh my God, how do they look so good? Not that they wouldn’t because really it hasn’t been that long since we watched them on MuchMusic every day. But honestly, how do they look so good still?
The fab five came in from London today amidst one of the biggest snowfalls of the year in Toronto, arriving safe and sound. The BRIT Award-winning Act – the highest music honour in their native England – are here to play Meridian Hall tomorrow night, before heading to Boston next.
We’ve seen our fair share of stars over the years, but S CLUB honestly are so gracious despite their international stardom, and were so nice to take their time saying “hi” to fans. Including one who flew all the way from Winnipeg not to miss her chance to see them live!
2024 will be a big year for S CLUB as new Music is on the way we hear! We hope this is just a small taste of big things to come ahead for them! So glad to see them back!

The 90’s Nostalgia Tour took over Vaughan this weekend, just north of the City. The Festival at Interchange Park, brought out fan favourites Right Said Fred, Vengaboys, Prozzak, Aqua and S Club for a one night only dance affair.
Simon Fuller, the same man behind American Idol and Spice Girls, formed S Club 7 back in the late ’90s and they became a household name with hit Television Shows Miami 7 and L.A. 7. They also saw international success with 10 million albums sold, a U.S. Billboard Hot 100 Top Ten hit, four UK number one hits and a number one album in the UK as well, plus winning two prestigious BRIT Awards. Two in a Million, S Club Party and Never Had a Dream Come True garnered them chart success internationally. Although some of the members have moved on, members Tina Barrett, Bradley McIntosh and Jo O’Meara still are keeping the legacy alive touring as a Trio and fans at the ‘90s Nostalgia Tour were lucky enough to catch them in a rare appearance in these parts!
We were lucky enough to meet S Club and there were amazingly-nice, offering handshakes and hugs despite being on a bit of a time crunch having just done an appearance last night in the UK and operating on a few hours of sleep.

Aqua was given the headlining spot, capping off the night of nostalgia best-selling Danish Pop Band of all time with 33 million albums sold, now is a Trio consisting of René Dif, Søren Rasted and lead Vocalist, Lene Nystrøm. Around the World, Doctor Jones and of course Barbie Girl were impossible to avoid in the late ’90s and we’ve missed them! Travelling as a sizable entourage, Nystrøm tells us she was a bit down about some obstacles with her performance which saw her donning a green wig. She says, “Some are good and some are bad” and she was happy as long as the fans enjoyed it. Completely gracious and lovely.
In case you missed the Show, here’s more on it!
