Since the release of her debut album ‘Read My Lips’ in 2001, which sold over 2 million copies worldwide, Ellis-Bextor has had six Top 10 singles, including ‘Take Me Home’, ‘Get Over You’, and of course ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’.

Sophie said: “It’s so exciting to be performing hits from my entire career with full orchestral arrangements for the first time! This is a bit of a dream come true. I’m especially delighted that I get to do some proper full-on live disco with strings.. it’s going to be really special!”

The show will feature arrangements stemming from her forthcoming Orchestral Greatest Hits album due in 2019.

Pre-sale tickets for the show launch on Thursday, 27 September while general sale launches Friday, 28 September on Ticketmaster.
