More than a decade after their last appearance together, the Scissor Sisters have announced they are reuniting for a comeback tour. The American pop rock band will play 10 dates across the UK and Ireland next May.
Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, Jake Shears, Babydaddy and Del Marquis will be making a stop at London’s The O2 on Friday 23rd May. Fans who register here will get access to the pre-sale starting on Wednesday, November 6th at 10am.

babydaddy said: “There’s something really special about us being a gay band, a queer band, that really broke into the mainstream with that album. We want to get back to that because there weren’t that many queer acts that broke through like that in 20 years. .
“We admit that we did something pretty unique back then just by putting ourselves out there as queer people. We put queer culture in the mainstream at a time when there wasn’t a lot of that.”
“Scissor Sisters” was released in 2004 and sold over three million copies worldwide and became the best selling album in the UK that year. It also achieved a 9x platinum status in the UK.
But eight years later, the band went on an indefinite hiatus. Although they released a charity single, Swerlk, in 2017, the Scissor Sisters have not performed together since.
