Bands Reunited is a television program which can been seen on VH1. Hosted by Aamer Haleem, the show documents the reuniting of a formerly-popular musical ensemble for a special concert in either London or Los Angeles.
A show normally consists of the crew first hunting down the ex-members of the band (often first in disguise) one-by-one, and convincing them to agree for the one-time concert; the members are "contracted" by signing a classic album of their former band. The band members are then interviewed, usually focusing on the reasons of the breakup. It is followed by the formal reunion of the band in the rehearsing studio, and a joint interview about why the group parted ways. If the reunion was successful, the episode ends with the final performance.
