Originally from Romford, Essex, Five Star were dubbed "Britain's answer to the Jackson Five" with their dynamic sound and fabulous dance routines. The band rocked the British and US pop charts in the 80s, and scored a total of 16 top 40 singles, 6 of which went top ten, and achieveda multi-platinum selling UK No.1 album in 1986 with SILK & STEEL. A formidable live act in the 80s, they sold out 6 nights at Wembley Arena on their 1987 UK tour. The five siblings make their Rewind Festival debut in 2012, celebrating their 25th anniversary in the music industry.
