The "long goodbye" is getting a little longer—and fans couldn't be happier. Beloved indie-pop trio Saint Etienne have announced three additional dates for their final-ever UK and Ireland tour in September 2026, responding to a surge in ticket demand that has already seen major shows sell out across the country.

Following the immediate sell-out of their London Roundhouse performance, the band has added a second London night at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire. New stops in Poole and Birmingham have also been confirmed to ensure fans get one last chance to see the group live.
September 10: Poole, St Peter’s Church (NEW)
September 11: London, O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire (NEW)
September 12: Birmingham, Institute (NEW)
Tickets for these new dates go on sale this Friday, January 30th, at 10 am, via Ticketmaster. All other remaining tickets are available now.
A 35-Year Pop Odyssey
Since their first live show at London’s Heaven in 1990, Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs, and Sarah Cracknell have become the architects of a uniquely British electronic-pop sound. Their 35-year career boasts 13 albums and 17 UK Top 40 singles, including the era-defining "Only Love Can Break Your Heart."
The farewell tour follows the critical success of their 2025 final studio album, International, which was hailed as a "pop masterclass." While the band hasn't ruled out international dates in the future, they have been explicit that this tour represents the final opportunity to catch them on a UK stage.
A Celebration, Not a Wake
Despite the "final" billing, the band insists these shows are meant to be a party. The setlist is promised to be a "best of the best" celebration, drawing from a deep catalog that has seen them share stages with everyone from Pulp and Oasis to Kylie Minogue and James Brown.
With Manchester, Sheffield, and the Roundhouse already SOLD OUT, fans are encouraged to act quickly this Friday to secure their place in pop history.
