STEPS ANNOUNCED AS THIRD AND FINAL HEADLINE ACT FOR TRENTHAM LIVE 2022
Trentham has announced its third and final headline act for Trentham Live 2022, as they reveal the third act will be one of the UK’s most successful pop groups of all time, Steps.
Best known for singles such as “Tragedy” and “Stomp”, the iconic pop collective is scheduled to perform to an audience of thousands on Friday 2nd September in the beautiful surroundings of the award-winning Trentham Gardens.
The band was initially formed in 1997 when an ad was placed in The Stage newspaper, with Claire Richards, Ian “H” Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans, Lisa Scott-Lee and Faye Tozer all making the final cut.
Right from the start, Steps scored a hit with their debut line dancing-inspired song “5, 6, 7, 8” and in 1998 they dropped two more top-charting tracks – a cover of Bananarama’s “Last Thing On My Mind” and “One For Sorrow” – before reaching No.1 with their fourth single, the ballad “Heartbeat/Tragedy”.
In 2020, Steps returned the charts with a single “What the Future Holds” written by Aussie talent Sia. This September, the band released the follow-up album ‘What the Future Holds Pt 2’ which charted at #2 in the UK. Fans at Trentham can expect to enjoy Steps classics alongside material from their new album on this 25th anniversary tour.
Trentham Live 2021 welcomed thousands of attendees with outstanding performances from acts including; McFly, The Vamps and Alfie Boe. Following this success, news that Trentham Live was returning for 2022 was announced in September this year, with the launch of the first headline act, Olly Murs. Craig David was announced as the second act earlier in November.
Set to take place between the 2nd and 4th September 2022, the line-up features three arena selling headline artists. Trentham’s unique outdoor setting has previously welcomed world-famous musicians such as the Beatles, Ramones and The Rolling Stones playing at their grounds.
Senior Director of the Trentham Estate, Alastair Budd, commented: “Trentham Live is already proving to be an unmissable date in people’s event calendar and adding Steps to the roster really is the icing on the cake for us. The response to our announcements on Olly Murs and Craig David has been incredible and we are thrilled to see how eager people are to attend Trentham Live again.”
