About this shoot

Gareth Gates ignited the main stage at Manchester Village Pride with Boyband in the Buff, an 18+ concert blending powerful vocal harmonies and nostalgic choreography. Celebrating iconic 90s and 00s boyband anthems from Backstreet Boys to Take That, the show struck a clever balance between authentic pop energy and cheeky stripped-back entertainment designed for adult audiences.
