Expect classics including I Don’t Want a Lover, Black Eyed Boy and Say What You Want, alongside new songs such as Mr Haze, amongst many others.

Faye, Lisa, Claire, H and Lee perform wall-to-wall hits in their first gig for over three years - live and exclusive at the O2 Ritz in Manchester in front of a small post-lockdown audience of Radio 2 fans. The show features Steps hits old and new, including tracks from their latest album What the Future Holds, and classics like Deeper Shade of Blue, One For Sorrow and Tragedy.

James Dean Bradfield, Nicky Wire, Sean Moore and their band return to St David’s Hall in Cardiff, where they played some of their earliest busking gigs, but this time to play a brand new show for Radio 2 Live. The band perform live songs from their 35 year back catalogue as well as their new album The Ultra Vivid Lament, all in front of a small and socially distanced audience of fans. With songs as far back as Motorcycle Emptiness, through to classics such as Design For Life and If You Tolerate This, and all the way up to new and equally poignant tracks including Don’t Let The Night, the men from Blackwood show that their lyrics and music are still as relevant today as they have always been. Plus a few surprise songs, including a duet with Cat Southall on The Secret He Had Missed.

Westlife play their first post-lockdown gig to an intimate, but loud and lively audience of Radio 2 fans at the Ulster Hall in Belfast.

The show included their own hits, including Hello My Love, World Of Our Own and Flying Without Wings, plus some of their famous covers such as Uptown Girl. The show ended on an emotional rendition of You Raise Me Up, which was clearly a very heartfelt moment for the four lads, and the intimacy reaches reaches far out into both the audience at the venue and to viewers watching at home.
