Posted January 11, 20232 yr View this post on Instagram There’s absolutely no slowing our girls! An intimate gig for Brit’s week is on sale at 40£ a ticket in London on the 8th of Feb. No way I’m going to be able to make it over sadly, but absolutely awesome they are lining up so many shows and getting some really great opportunities The girls really are back and a force to be reckoned with
January 12, 20232 yr For me it’s great there’s so much demand for them. Brilliant to see after e erythema g they’ve been through.
January 12, 20232 yr I’m seeing Carly Rae Jepsen in Glasgow that night but eh, good chance I’ll impulsively buy a ticket to this and worry about it later :lol:

January 12, 20232 yr Do we know if it is a full concert? as in 1hr/1hr 30? Contemplating whether to get tickets...
January 12, 20232 yr Author I don't think so. The tour was only 80 though, so i am not sure it would run longer than that
January 13, 20232 yr I got a ticket in the presale!! :D I'd say it'll probably be a full set, just less produced and perhaps more opportunity for deep cuts, especially from The Lost Tapes?
January 14, 20232 yr I got a ticket in the presale!! :D I'd say it'll probably be a full set, just less produced and perhaps more opportunity for deep cuts, especially from The Lost Tapes? Yay!! Congratulations!
January 14, 20232 yr Author Congrats Joseph!! Great that it’s sold out so fast but I can’t imagine the venue being particularly huge.
January 14, 20232 yr It's not big at all, the capacity is 600...! But guaranteed to get a decent spot wherever you are, it's a nice enough venue.
February 9, 20232 yr This was last night! It was brilliant, as you'd expect from the girls. It was the same set as the tour, with a few slower moments cut (Love Me Hard, Ugly, 2 Hearts). The crowd was loving it, it was great to experience it all in a smaller venue! :wub:
February 9, 20232 yr I forgot this was on. If they’re keeping the setlist the same it makes me think that’ll be their setlist for Australia.
February 9, 20232 yr Author This seems to be their settled set list for the moment. I would imagine you get the same in Aus and then they maybe change it up a little for the summer depending on set length Hopefully for the O2 at the very least we get something a little bespoke
February 9, 20232 yr Yeah I think you’re right. I think when they’re back from Australia they’ll possibly include a few more songs from The Lost Tapes. I’m sure I’ve heard them mention they want to perform some of them live.
February 10, 20232 yr https://www.standard.co.uk/culture/music/su...n-b1058993.html Where many pop bands of the early ‘00s have played out their reunions at Freshers Week gigs and on nostalgia festival bills, the reformed line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy under the Sugababes name has been altogether more credible. At the end of 2022 they released well-received new album The Lost Tapes; later this year they’ll headline The O2; their underplay at London’s Garage last night for BRITS Week presented by Mastercard for War Child was a hen party-free zone, filled with people more likely into PinkPantheress than P!nk. Indeed, now feels like the perfect moment in music for them to return. Seated nonchalantly on stools (a sort of deadpan effortlessness having been their original mode of cool) to deliver 23-year-old debut single Overload, what struck the most is how current the track sounded. Mixed into a dubby outro, before they segued into a cover of Sweet Female Attitude’s Flowers, its understated beats shuffled along as both influential and strangely modern – proof that the theory of music’s 20-year cycle of trends still has legs. Though the trio have only released two albums – with more than two decades between them – in this incarnation of the band, Sugababes’ set dealt purely in the hits from across all iterations of their career, from the sass-pop of Red Dress to the epic balladry of Too Lost In You to a still-superlative Freak Like Me. If there was any question as to how Donaghy – the first to leave back in 2001 – would fare tackling a majority set of songs she was never part of, from her first verse in opener Push The Button the crowd were on her side, giving the singer an audibly louder cheer as she took the mic. Spare a thought for long-term former member Heidi Range, but the chemistry between the three old friends reunited on stage felt different: a genuine bond originated in three voices that still sound flawless together, as evidenced on a spine-tingling, harmony-drenched Stronger.
