Scissor Sisters Surprise Fans With UK Reunion Tour: ‘The UK Was Always Home

In a thrilling comeback, Scissor Sisters are reuniting for a UK tour, celebrating their unique connection with British fans. Here’s everything we know about their return and why it means so much.


Scissor Sisters Are Back: UK Fans Rejoice

After over a decade of radio silence, Scissor Sisters are finally reuniting, sending their devoted fans into a frenzy. Known for their wildly creative and unapologetically bold approach to music, the New York-based band announced they’ll be kicking off a much-anticipated reunion tour in the United Kingdom—a place they’ve always considered their second home.

“We didn’t make sense anywhere else but the UK,” said frontman Jake Shears in a recent interview. The flamboyant, genre-blurring band quickly captured British hearts with hits like “I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’” and “Filthy/Gorgeous,” songs that dominated UK airwaves even as they stayed more niche in the States.

Why the UK? The Band’s Strongest Fanbase Explained

Although Scissor Sisters originally hailed from New York City, the UK embraced their high-energy sound and theatrical performances with open arms. Shears has often reflected on the band’s British fandom, which embraced their fusion of glam rock, disco, and pop. “We had loyal fans worldwide, but the UK just got us,” Shears shared. The band’s vibrant, sometimes outrageous, aesthetic and their willingness to tackle taboo topics struck a chord with the British audience, especially during the 2000s’ pop renaissance.

Scissor Sisters found a musical haven in the UK, topping the charts with their self-titled debut album in 2004 and cementing their status with hits that perfectly combined eccentricity and heart.

What Fans Can Expect From the Reunion Tour

While specific dates and locations for the UK tour are still under wraps, the band has promised that this will be a show-stopping, nostalgia-packed experience. “It’s going to be a wild celebration,” Shears teased. Longtime fans are hopeful for not only fan favorites like “Take Your Mama” and “Comfortably Numb” but also some fresh surprises.

Guitarist Babydaddy hinted that the reunion might include reimagined versions of their classic songs, as well as some newly crafted tracks. “We’re all in different places now, musically and personally,” he said, “but the vibe and chemistry are still there.”

Scissor Sisters’ Legacy: Why This Reunion Matters

The reunion tour is more than just a trip down memory lane. For many, Scissor Sisters brought a message of self-expression and inclusivity to pop music, pushing boundaries with their openly queer identities and unapologetic celebration of difference. In a time when discussions of gender and sexuality were less mainstream, they provided a voice that many fans didn’t find anywhere else.

Their reunion tour offers fans a chance to reconnect with that sense of community while introducing a new generation to the band’s trailblazing energy and inclusive message.

Will the Tour Come to the U.S.?

Despite their renewed energy, Shears says the tour will remain UK-focused for now, allowing them to give back to the fanbase that championed them from the start. “The UK is where we were really seen, where people embraced us without question,” he emphasized. Yet, if the reunion tour succeeds in the UK, Shears and the band haven’t ruled out the possibility of expanding the dates to the U.S. and beyond.

Fans Are Ready for the Comeback of a Lifetime

Scissor Sisters’ announcement has already sparked excitement online, with social media buzzing about potential concert dates and ticket drops. Fans old and new are gearing up to see what this band, known for bending genres and breaking boundaries, has in store.

So, prepare to don your most dazzling outfits and get ready to dance because the Scissor Sisters are back and bringing their unique brand of musical magic to the UK once more.
