Sophie Ellis-Bextor is bringing her signature shimmer and sonic flair to Newcastle City Hall on Sunday 25th of May, in what promises to be an evening of pure pop delight. Famed for her sultry vocals, disco-infused beats and stylish stage presence, Sophie has carved out a unique space in British music – and her upcoming performance is set to celebrate both her legacy and her exciting future.
With a career that spans over two decades, Sophie first burst onto the scene with the dancefloor anthem Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love), before solidifying her star status with hits like Murder on the Dancefloor, Get Over You, and Catch You. Her music has always balanced pop sensibility with a knowing nod to disco, glam, and retro influences – a combination that has won her loyal fans across generations. This tour date comes as Sophie prepares to launch her brand-new album PERIMENOPOP, set for release on 12 September 2025. The title, intriguingly playful and characteristically tongue-in-cheek, hints at a confident new chapter in her career.
Sophie’s flair for performance is well documented. Her Kitchen Disco live streams, launched during the lockdown years, became a viral sensation – showcasing her musical talent, sense of humour, and sparkling costumes, all from the comfort of her own home. Those shows proved what long-time fans already knew: Sophie Ellis-Bextor is a born entertainer. Live, she commands the stage with a mix of theatricality and warmth, drawing the audience into her glitter-drenched world.

Adding further excitement to her 2025 calendar, Sophie recently served as the spokesperson for the United Kingdom at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. Her appearance – elegant, witty, and radiating confidence – was warmly received by fans across the continent and served as a reminder of her enduring charm and cultural resonance. While the UK’s Eurovision result may always be a topic of debate, Sophie’s moment on screen was universally celebrated.
The upcoming Newcastle show is part of an extensive run of dates across the UK and Europe and promises to be an immersive experience full of fan favourites, surprises, and perhaps even a preview of tracks from PERIMENOPOP. With her band in top form and her vocals as strong as ever, this is a chance to see one of the UK’s most stylish and consistently engaging performers in her element.
