We're currently enjoying a bit of a nostalgia trip in the UK, aren't we?
Earlier today, creators of cult TV show The League Of Gentlemen tweeted to confirm the show was making a comeback. We've got the re-release of the Nokia 3310 just around the corner and there's been reports of a SNES Classic Edition being released later this year. Exciting times for '90s kids.
And if all that isn't enough for you, then how about Will Smith and DJ Jazzy Jeff having a reunion in Blackpool this summer? Yeah, you read that right, the Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff are coming to Blackpool.
The two will be making a rare UK appearance, headlining Livewire Festival this summer.
The pair, who have been performing together since the '80s, have a string of hits including 'Summertime' and 'Boom! Shake The Room' and have released five albums in total.

Meanwhile, Jazzy Jeff continued to record music and go on tours. The duo have made a few appearances together in the past and are now heading for the UK. Bloody brilliant.
Livewire Festival takes place from 25th to 27th August at Headland Arena in Blackpool. If you fancy going, tickets are on sale from 10am tomorrow from here. Enjoy.
The fact that the pair are confirmed to be making a UK appearance this summer will add weight to the recent speculation that they are going to be performing at Glastonbury this year, too.
Jazzy Jeff told Bang Showbiz: "We had interest in Glastonbury last year,
whenever the decision comes down, I'm there. The biggest part of us doing this reuniting is the clearing of the schedule. I tour about 180 days out of the
year but he makes movies so it's more on his side of having to clear a schedule
for us to be able to rehearse and go on the road.
"Sometimes it gets a little hard with him being one of the
biggest movie stars in the world to free up his time. He absolutely positively
wants to do this; the funny thing is, he made the announcement before he even
told me."
Well, shit, that sounds pretty conclusive.
