The group’s comeback gig is being sold as a “One Night Stand with Mis-Teeq” – and it’s currently unclear whether they’ll play other dates or make new music.
But the band, who originally split after their record label went bankrupt, are clear they want the 12 September show to be “a big rave”.
“We want it to be full of energy and we just want everyone to come and have some fun because what we don’t have this time round is the pressure,” says Nash.
Dixon remained in the public eye after the band split, launching a solo career with hits like The Boy Does Nothing, as well as winning Strictly Come Dancing and becoming a judge on Britain’s Got Talent.
But despite all that, she’s still arguably most well-known for the ad lib phrases that popped into her fast-paced raps in Mis-Teeq songs.
Dixon says they came from the producer telling them to “just freestyle” in the recording booth and were “just in the moment of enjoyment”.
But she is keen to clear something up about possibly her most famous ad lib – “enter” – which she often used to hype up the energy during live performances.
“They were literally gibberish,” she says.
“And just to clarify, the word in the English dictionary is ‘enter’, but for some reason, in my warped brain in the studio, I said ‘inter’.
“It wasn’t premeditated, it was just in the moment, so whatever came out they just used it on the track.”
Whatever the origin story, fans will be reassured to know they’ll be hearing them when the band play their first proper gig in two decades later this year.
“They’re just the gifts that keep on giving back, they really are,” says Nash.
