They formed in the mid 1980s and found instant success with their number one solo single Perfect.
And Fairground Attraction have reunited 34 years after they parted ways in 1990 for a new tour and comeback single.
Singer Eddie Reader, bass player Simon Edwards, guitarist Mark Nevin and drummer Ray Dodds have returned to the group.
The group achieved their first number one with Perfect in 1988 and followed it up with another top 10 hit, Find My Love.
Two Brit Awards came the following year before the band parted ways in 1990, having struggled to cope with fame.

Eddie and Mark lost touch after the split but they made contact in 2023 and the idea for a comeback soon followed.
Mark said: ‘I can’t tell you how wonderful it is to be back together. We had all given up hope that it would ever happen.
‘It is spooky, as though we are ghosts, who have come back to life, but something happens between us when we play together.’
Fairground Attraction’s debut album The First Of A Million Kisses reached number two in the charts and was certified platinum.
Their second album Ay Fond Kiss failed to match the success of their first and peaked at number 55.
However, they found a dedicated fan base in Japan where they toured in 1989 and will tour again this year.
Fairground Attraction’s new single What’s Wrong With The World? is out on Friday.
Tickets for their new UK and Ireland tour go on sale on Thursday.
