Disco queen Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced her biggest ever UK headline tour – and she’s coming to York!
The pop icon has a musical career that spans over 25 years – and her timeless 2001 hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ had a resurgence last year after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film Saltburn.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor is at York Barbican on Monday 26 May 2025.
The show will feature songs from throughout Sophie’s career including the aforementioned ‘Murder On The Dancefloor’, ‘Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)’, ‘Take Me Home (A Girl Like Me)’, and her latest single ‘Freedom Of The Night’.
Tickets will go on general sale at 9am on Friday 1 November via the York Barbican website.
Talking about her new tour, Sophie said, “This year has been full of amazing tour dates around the world, and it has been so much fun.
“I absolutely love performing live, but it’s always an extra treat to be able to tour at home and I can’t wait to play my biggest dates in the UK yet next May and June.
“It will be wonderful to bring the disco fun to everyone!”
Sophie has recently toured sold-out headline shows across Europe and the US, supported Nile Rodgers, and appeared at festivals across the world, including Glastonbury.
Next up, Sophie is supporting Take That in Australia in November and The Human League across the UK this December, before embarking on her 2025 headline tour in May and June.
