Steps have announced a Christmas album and six-date tour. The band release Light Up The World via their own Steps Recordings/Warner Music Artist & Label Services on November 12. Light Up The World - the group's first album of newly-recorded material for over ten years - is available to pre-order alongside tickets for the December tour. Tickets go on sale this Friday, September 28 at 9am. They are priced at £35/£45 and £22.50/£40/£50 for London. In July, Steps star Claire Richards told Digital Spy that she had always wanted to do a Christmas album with the group. Of the band's future, she added: "We'd like to continue... There's things happening and I don't think any of us want it to stop again, but where exactly we go and what we do is the question." The full Steps Christmas tour dates are as follows: November 30 - Plymouth Pavilion December 1 - Sheffield City Hall, Sheffield December 2 - The London Palladium, London December 3 - O2 Apollo, Manchester December 4 - Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, Glasgow December 5 - Wolves Civic, Wolverhampton  |

Thanks for link, Manic.
Not sure about this - it's okay but Steps are much better on uptempo numbers.

Oh, I really like Light Up The World. Although I am sure I could do without ANOTHER version of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home), I am sure I have at least half a dozen versions knocking around in my record collection already. |
