S Club 7, the British pop group that rose to fame in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like "Never Had a Dream Come True," is reuniting for a U.K. tour to mark the band’s 25th anniversary.
The original seven members, Rachel Stevens, Bradley McIntosh, Hannah Spearritt, Jo O’Meara, Jon Lee, Paul Cattermole and Tina Barrett, will take part in the 11-date tour of the U.K. and Ireland later in 2023, the band announced Tuesday on social media.
S Club 7, formed in 1998 by former Spice Girls manager Simon Fuller, first hit the music charts at No. 1 on its debut single, "Bring it All Back."

The pop group sold more than 10 million albums worldwide before disbanding in 2003. According to Variety, S Club 7 has not performed together as a unit in eight years after briefly reuniting in 2014 for a U.K. tour.
