Big news is on the way for fans of the Scissor Sisters!
After a twelve-year break, this iconic noughties band is reportedly gearing up for a massive UK arena tour in 2025.
Frontmen Jake Shears and Ana Matronic are set to hit the road, marking the 20th anniversary of their groundbreaking self-titled debut album, which sold over six million copies and topped the UK charts.
Tour Details and Future Prospects
While the band hasn’t released any new music since their 2012 album Magic Hour, they’re planning performances at major venues like London’s O2 Arena and Manchester’s Co-op Live.
An insider shared with The Sun that discussions about a reunion have been ongoing for years, but timing just never aligned until now.
With their schedules finally synced, the excitement is palpable.
There’s hope for future music as well, with the band back on good terms and ready to embrace this new chapter.
A Glimpse at Band Members and Their Journey
The Scissor Sisters, originally formed in 2000, includes guitarist Del Marquis and drummer Randy Real, who took over for Paddy Boom.
Jake Shears has long expressed his desire to reunite, describing it as a dream he hopes to fulfill someday.
During their time together, they released four albums and produced hits like “Laura,” “Take Your Mama,” “Filthy/Gorgeous,” “Comfortably Numb,” and the number one smash “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.”
Life After Hiatus
Since their hiatus in 2012, the band members have pursued individual careers.
Jake Shears released two solo albums and even starred in Cabaret in London’s West End, while Ana Matronic has made a name for herself as a radio presenter and DJ.
Despite their solo successes, both have left the door open for a reunion.
Hints at New Music
Jake Shears has previously expressed a strong desire to create new music, telling NME that he hopes to produce another Scissor Sisters album, though it would require everyone’s enthusiasm to make it happen.
He has also been clear that he’s not interested in reuniting just for an anniversary tour; the focus would be on crafting fresh material.
Reflecting on the band’s past, he noted how their hit “Let’s Have a Kiki” had led to their hiatus, stating he felt it was time to step away after ten years of relentless touring and recording.
Looking Ahead
With excitement building around their return and the possibility of new music in the future, fans can’t help but wonder what’s next for the Scissor Sisters.
As they prepare to make their grand comeback, the anticipation is definitely in the air!
