On July 1st Popworld Birmingham is to play host for the first ever Abzfest, as Abz performs hits from 5ive's past records and his solo ventures.
Here he chats about what to expect at Abzfest, his secret special guest and more.
A little birdy told us that Jay Brown (former 5ive member) might be your secret surprise guest, is there any truth to the rumour?
Ooh, It wouldn’t be a secret surprise if i told you now would it! You’ll just have to wait and see I’m afraid... But I can confirm that my top secret guest has requested no cutlery on his rider... something about he likes to 'eat with his fingers'...
Are you excited about Abzfest?
I’m so excited I’ve been whistling 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah' out of my ass for the past two weeks!
We hear you’ll be performing some of your solo hits for the first time in years, how do you feel about that?
I haven’t done any of those songs for five years so I might have to give them a fresh remix just to switch it up a bit.
What tracks can we expect to hear from you?
The 5ive hits and whatever the fans tweet me using #ABZFEST. Hopefully it’s only the hits because a lot of the songs on that album were poop!
Why should people come to Abzfest?
Abzfest is really a thank you to all the fans for everything over the last couple years. Since I’ve been back on the scene they’ve shown me nothing but love so this is my way of returning the gratitude. Plus I’ve always wanted a bouncy castle at my party.
Tickets for Abzfest are priced at £10 and can be bought on the door. Limited VIP packages will also be available.
