Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced her biggest ever UK headline tour in May and June 2025, including a headline show at London’s Royal Albert Hall…
The entertaining and dazzling video for her new single, the glorious and magical disco-pop anthem ‘Freedom of the Night‘, lauched this week (6pm yesterday) following a premiere on ITV’s Lorraine.
Kicking off in Glasgow on 24th May and taking in 15-cities in total including Manchester, Newcastle, Cardiff and Bristol, the tour culminates at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor:
“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! Headlining The Royal Albert Hall in London is a bit of a dream and it’s going to be very special.”
An energetic, fun, and glitteringly catchy track, new single ‘Freedom of the Night’ sees Sophie enter a new era with a confident return to her iconic and esteemed disco-pop sound. The video, filmed at London’s Rivoli Ballroom by longstanding collaborator and friend Sophie Muller, is set within a dance gala and hints at nostalgia whilst being fresh, exciting and joyful.
Most recently, after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film ‘Saltburn‘, Sophie’s beloved 2001 hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ saw a huge resurgence, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 In the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms. Sophie has recently toured sold-out headline shows across Europe and the US, supported Nile Rodgers, and appeared at festivals across the world, including performing with Peggy Gou during her set at Glastonbury, following her own set on the legendary Pyramid Stage in 2023.
