It’s finally happening; Sugababes are going on a mammoth UK arena tour next year with tickets on sale imminently.

The original lineup – Siobhan Donaghy, Mutya Buena and Keisha Buchanan – are gearing up to head on the biggest tour of their career.

This announcement comes after the About You Now hitmakers shut down their stage at Glastonbury twice due to overwhelming demand.

During their set at the West Holts stage this year, fans were left unable to move or even enter that section of the park as it was rammed with fans hoping to see the 00s icons.

Never fear though, the Sugababes are giving music lovers what they want and will visit nine UK cities next year to perform their biggest hits.

The group – who have six number-one hits – are heading to Leeds, Cardiff, London, Manchester, Birmingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Belfast, and Dublin.

‘We are so excited to announce our biggest ever UK tour,’ they said in a joint statement. ‘The last few years have been an absolute blast, and we can’t wait to hit the road together next spring!

‘Wait until you see what we’ve got up our sleeve! See you in April!’

Tickets for this new arena tour will go on sale on Friday, October 25, at 10am via LiveNation’s official site.

The trio performed together at the Pride of Britain Awards, having reunited in 2011 under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhán.

It wasn’t until 2019 that they gained the band name back and officially began performing as the Sugababes once more.

Last year, the Push The Button singers sold out London’s O2 Arena, with Siobhan telling the crowd it had been ‘a rocky road to get here’.

It was at Glastonbury that the true British love for the Sugababes could be felt though as fans flooded to the small stage to catch a glimpse of the group.

Their crowd level was so intense the entire West Holts area was shut down as people simply could not move for the mass of fans, many unable to see the trio through the wall of dancing bodies.

This was the second time the Hole in the Head hitmakers have caused this level of commotion at the historic festival, with fans calling for them to headline this year.

It should be noted the Glastonbury 2025 lineup has not yet been revealed and it appears the Sugababes are free that weekend as their tour ends in April.

Sugababes rose to fame with their original line-up in 1999 when their debut single Overload reached the top 10 in the UK.

However, shortly after the release of their debut album, Siobhan left the group and was replaced by Heidi Range who remained until 2011.

The Keisha, Mutya, Heidi line-up was one of the most commercially successful for the Sugababes, with a run of number one singles making them one of the biggest acts in British pop.

After nine years, Keisha also parted ways with the band and was replaced by Jade Ewen; this line up released one further album then disbanded.

Along with her commitments to the Sugababes, the women have continued solo careers too with Mutya set to perform at Mighty Hoopla next year too.

She will take to the stage on Saturday, ahead of headliner and fellow 00s legend Ciara, with Kesha closing the show on Sunday.

Tickets for the Sugababes 2025 Tour go on sale Friday, October 25, at 10am.
