Sugababes concert chronology |
Sugababes '25 is the upcoming ninth concert tour by English girl group the Sugababes, with 14 shows scheduled in the United Kingdom and Europe throughout April and May 2025. The tour follows the group's four-date Australian tour which took place between December 2024 and January 2025.[1] The tour is set to be the Sugababes first arena tour in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and has been described by the group as "our biggest-ever UK and European tour".[2]
The tour is set to commence on 8 April 2025 in Leeds, England and conclude on 2 May of the same year, in Milan, Italy.[3]
Background
[edit]The Sugababes are an English girl group composed of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhán Donaghy, formed in 1998. The lineup changed three times before returning to the original lineup in 2011 under the name "MKS", the first initial of each member's name. The group released one single under MKS, "Flatline" in 2013, which became a moderate hit, and planned to release an album which was later scrapped due to most of the material being leaked. Since re-claiming the Sugababes name in 2019, the group have released their eighth studio album The Lost Tapes (2022), which contained "Flatline" and the leaked songs recorded almost ten years prior.
The group's previous tours have been mostly constricted to theatres as they opted for a more intimate setting, such as the 30-show Change Tour (2008), which to date is their longest yet. In September 2023, the group played their first concert at the O2 Arena in London, dubbed as "One Night Only", which sold-out and received positive reviews.[4] They followed this with a slot on the Glastonbury Festival's West Holts stage in June 2024, which drew unprecedented crowd numbers.[5] Following these successes, the Sugababes announced a large-scale tour on 22 October 2024, featuring arena shows in the UK and Ireland, and a mix of theatre and arena shows in Europe, with tickets going on pre-sale on 25 October 2024.[6]
Commenting on the tour, the Sugababes stated: "The last few years have been an absolute blast, and we can’t wait to hit the road together next spring! Wait until you see what we’ve got up our sleeve!". During an appearance on The One Show in October 2024, the group revealed that they have been working on their ninth studio album with hopes to include new music on the tour's setlist.[7] In regard to new music, Donaghy commented: "We are working on it. We haven't got a release date just yet, but it's very close to being finished, and we're really excited about it", and that it will "hopefully be ready for the arena tour".[8]
