Queer pop icons Scissor Sisters have announced a 2025 reunion tour slated to hit the U.K. and Ireland. The concerts will be their first since they went on hiatus in 2012 and will celebrate the 20th anniversary of their self-titled debut album, which went to No.1 in the U.K. upon release.

After teasing a comeback by projecting their iconic logo onto arenas across the U.K. in recent days, the band have shared the full run of dates they’ll be performing next year.  The tour will begin on May 16 with a show in Nottingham and continue on to Glasgow, Bournemouth, Cardiff, Manchester, London, Leeds, Birmingham, Belfast before concluding in Dublin on May 28. See the full run of dates below. Tickets will go on sale on Nov. 8 from the band’s official website.

The group – composed of Jake Shears (vocals), Babydaddy (bass) and Del Marquis (guitar) – also confirmed that former bandmate Ana Matronic will not be a part of the reunion. A statement to accompany the announcement says that vocalist Matronic “has decided not to join the tour as she has other projects she is focusing on right now.”

“We’ve spent a lot of time collectively thinking about what we can add to our show that isn’t a ‘replacement’ for Ana in any way,” Marquis adds. “She’s part of the spirit of this band and we want to honour that.”

The group are planning to perform their 2004 debut Scissor Sisters in full alongside a selection of tracks from their three other studio efforts, 2006’s Ta-Dah, 2010’s Night Work and 2012’s Magic Hour. Scissor Sisters was the U.K.’s best-selling album in 2004 and has racked up more than three million in sales globally.

Speaking to The Independent, the band explained further why they decided to bring the anniversary celebrations and reunion to the U.K and Ireland. “The U.K. has always been a place where you don’t really have to fit into something that already exists,” said Marquis. “They appreciate idiosyncrasy, and appreciate a character, a personality. If anything can be said about our band, it’s that it’s not really like any other band. We didn’t make sense anywhere else, and it’s just like we clicked here.”
