Mis-Teeq Reunite for 25th Anniversary Wembley Arena Show After 20 Years

3 articles · Updated · BBC.com · Jun 11

Summary

  • London’s Wembley Arena will host Mis-Teeq on Sept. 12 in the trio’s first proper gig in two decades, marking 25 years since debut album "Lickin' on Both Sides."
  • Fan demand and a planned anniversary reissue grew into a bigger comeback, the group said, as nineties and noughties nostalgia fuels renewed interest in UK garage.
  • Mis-Teeq sold more than 12 million records and helped push UK garage into the mainstream in the early 2000s with hits including "Scandalous" and "One Night Stand."
  • The reunion is currently a one-off event, with no other dates or new music confirmed, but the band says the show will be "a big rave" without the pressures it faced before splitting in 2005.
