About the Artist
The Scissor Sisters burst onto the music scene in the early 2000s with their unique blend of electro-clash, disco revival, and camp sensibility. Comprised of Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and Randy Real, the band quickly garnered international acclaim with their debut self-titled album in 2004. Featuring hits like 'Comfortably Numb' and the global smash 'I Don't Feel Like Dancin'', the album was a critical and commercial success, earning Grammy nominations and topping charts worldwide. Their follow-up album, 'Ta-Dah!' (2006), continued this trajectory with further chart-topping singles and solidified their reputation as masters of the dance floor. Known for their energetic stage presence, vibrant costumes, and a fearless embrace of pop maximalism, Scissor Sisters deliver a live show that is as much a party as it is a concert. Their music is a celebration of individuality, love, and pure, unadulterated fun, making them a beloved act for fans old and new.
The Venue

Their shows are a riot of colour, glitter, and infectious energy, with Jake Shears and Ana Matronic leading the charge with their charismatic stage presence. The band's ability to blend nostalgic disco vibes with contemporary electronic sounds creates a soundscape that is both timeless and thrillingly modern.
