British chart-topper Sophie Ellis-Bextor is bringing her glossy disco pop down under in February 2026. Fans from all corners of the country will get to boogie along to their noughties favourites and brand new pop anthems from her latest album Perimenopop.
One of the biggest British pop artists to emerge from the 2000s, Sophie Ellis-Bextor established herself as a pop diva with smash-hits like Murder On The Dancefloor, Get Over You and Take Me Home. Spanning across seven studio albums, her discography transcends layers of genres from dance-pop and folk to prog-rock and orchestral pop.
London born and bred, Sophie Ellis-Bextor grew up in a creative household, taking an interest in performing at an early age. By 17, she had joined Brit-pop band Theaudience, reaching #22 on the UK charts with their debut album. Following the band's breakup in 1999, Sophie wasted no time launching her solo career, where she would go on to create the iconic disco anthems fans know and love today. Showcasing a blend of '80s-influenced synth-pop and disco, 2001’s Read My Lips, reached number 2 in the UK. and hit the top 20 in several countries around the globe.
Making a pop culture resurgence in 2023 after Murder on the Dancefloor was featured in cult film Saltburn, and covered by Royel Otis, Ellis-Bextor’s reach has extended to a new generation of listeners. Proving herself as a timeless pop icon, Sophie Ellis-Bextor will be uniting both new and all-time fans to enjoy her glittery hits down under in 2026.
