Her biggest ever UK headline tour in May and June 2025
Kicking off in Glasgow on 24th May and taking in 15-cities in total including Manchester, Newcastle, Cardiff and Bristol, the tour culminates at the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London.
An energetic, fun, and glitteringly catchy track, new single ‘Freedom of the Night’ sees Sophie enter a new era with a confident return to her iconic and esteemed disco-pop sound. The video, filmed at London’s Rivoli Ballroom by longstanding collaborator and friend Sophie Muller, is set within a dance gala and hints at nostalgia whilst being fresh, exciting and joyful.
With an impressive musical career that spans over an amazing 25-years, Sophie has achieved five top 10 albums and eight top 10 singles. With hits including ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, ‘Take Me Home’, ‘Get Over You’, ‘Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)’ and many more, ‘Freedom of the Night’ is the beginning of a return to Sophie’s distinctive sound, embracing her musical roots across pop, disco, and dance. Working with both classic and new collaborators, the track sees Sophie back together with Biff Stannard (Kylie, JADE), Duck Blackwell and Shura and collaborating with Chris Greatti (Willow Smith, The Dare) and David Wrench (Jamie XX, Hot Chip) alongside additional production from her husband and The Feeling bassist Richard Jones.
Most recently, after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film ‘Saltburn’, Sophie’s beloved 2001 hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ saw a huge resurgence, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 In the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms.
