Formed in 1997, the group comprises Claire Richards, Faye Tozer, Ian "H" Watkins, Lee Latchford-Evans and Lisa Scott-Lee.
The tour predominantly visited arenas across the United Kingdom as well as a one-off performance in the Republic of Ireland.
Sony record company intended to release a greatest hits album with the Steps music due to the ten-year anniversary following their 'acrimonious'[3] split[4] in 2001.
Claire Richards said with the production of The Ultimate Collection album coupled with the ten-year anniversary, 'it just seemed right' to get back together.
The pre-show begins with a video shown on a large screen dominating the backdrop of the step, showing a one-minute countdown as the dancers come onstage.
The five band members rise onto the stage in five separate glass tubes, symbolising the idea that they are being awoken ten years after the split.
After the band goes offstage, during which a musical interlude is played, they return onstage with "Stomp" and "Chain Reaction".
The show ends with their cover ABBA's "Dancing Queen", a song which was recorded especially for their Ultimate Collection album.
After a brief pause, a remix interlude is heard before Steps return to the stage for the final time to perform the encore consisting of "Tragedy".
The show documents the band throughout the creation and development of the Ultimate Tour, including dance rehearsals, costume fittings, promotion interviews and the pre-tour performance at London's G-A-Y nightclub.
