Liverpool band Frankie Goes To Hollywood - famous for hits including Relax, Two Tribes and The Power of Love - performed just one song - Welcome To The Pleasuredome.
Frankie Goes To Hollywood has reunited 36 years after they split up, performing in front of a 30,000 strong crowd in Liverpool in a concert to mark the start of the Eurovision Song Contest.
The band, who formed in the city in 1980 and acrimoniously parted ways seven years later performed just one song.Despite being most famous for number 1 hits including Relax, Two Tribes and The Power of Love, they instead chose to perform Welcome to the Pleasuredome which made it to number 2 in the charts in 1985.
Holly Johnson, Brian Nash, Paul Rutherford, Mark O'Toole and Peter Gill have not performed together since an argument before their final gig at Wembley Arena in 1987 is reported to have led to a fight backstage.Welcome outside St George's Hall included Atomic Kitten, The Lightning Seeds and funk band The Real Thing.
Former Eurovision winners Conchita Wurst, who represented Austria in 2014, and Ukraine's Jamala, who competed in 2016, accompanied by the United Ukrainian Ballet, also performed. Liverpool has been transformed with public artworks and installations for the international music competition, which the UK is hosting on behalf of Ukraine amid the Russian invasion.
