Review of 90s Baby Pop - The Biggest POP Show EVER
More of a 90’s 00’s festival now. So the event needs a rebrand to reflect what you’re actually going to get.
This years acts were too dance music based compared to last year. Peter Andre was a poor choice of closing act (should have been blue or five) and H from steps DJ set was not a DJ set he just played steps songs - 20 minutes of wasted time.
How about getting quality acts in and not quantity.
AO arena absolutely disgusting. Toilets filthy, drinks prices diabolical £16 for 2 pints!! I chose not to drink. Thank god the new co-op arena will be opening soon! AO arena is done.

Review of 90s Baby Pop - The Biggest POP Show EVER
Amazing night out on the tiles in Manchester. My friend and I came up for the weekend from London. We came last year in Oct 2022 so this was round 2 for us. Lots of great acts for us. This line up was even better than last year.
Samantha Mumba was incredible, she put on such a show with her troupe of dancers, her outfit and choreography. Hearing her sing all her hits like Gotta Tell You, Always Come Back To Your Love, and more...
Jamelia was good, was nice to see her live after listening to her in the old days.
Nadine Coyle was amazing singing Girls Aloud - Sound of The Underground. She was always the voice of the group.
Peter Andre had me grooving with Mysterious Girl. A lost of nostalgia was had. Very good memories to be made!
Very well organised event, it ran very smoothly and like the transition between acts with one DJ song then each act coming on promptly. Very well put together. Only gripe we had was screens on the side of the stage were not always on throughout the whole show and when they were, they weren't always clear/didn't zoom in on performer so we could see their face. Also no spotlight to see "artists" faces clearly. Aside from that we had a wonderful time seeing so many classic 90's acts under one roof. Definitely a night to remember!

Review of 90s Baby Pop - The Biggest POP Show EVER
Sitting high up it would have been good to have an image of the artist on the large screen behind them as you couldnt see well and the smaller screens didnt really show much either. When the image was briefly projected on the bigger screen it was so much better but this was only ever shown for a few seconds

Review of 90s Baby Pop - The Biggest POP Show EVER
This event is a great idea and did not disappoint music wise! All my teen dreams come true basically. Big singalong with other middle aged women, perfect.
My only gripe? Ludicrously overpriced drinks at AO arena.
9.50 for a tiny can of passion fruit martini? Noooooope
