Scissor Sisters

Pop legends Scissor Sisters have been announced for a huge summer show at Audley End Estate in Saffron Walden, Essex, on Thursday 6th August 2026. The performance is part of the Heritage Live concert series, with tickets set to go on presale on Tuesday 18th November at 10:00 am, followed by a general sale on Friday 21st November at 10:00 am.

The announcement continues the band’s highly anticipated reunion, which in 2025 included a UK arena tour, a celebrated Saturday night set at Glastonbury, and a co-headline summer tour across the USA with Kesha. Building on their 20-year anniversary celebrations, the Audley End show will see the band continue to celebrate their iconic, multi-platinum-selling self-titled debut album.

To gain exclusive access to the See Tickets presale on Tuesday 18th November, fans must pre-register via https://arep.co/p/scissorsisters. Any remaining tickets will be made available in the general sale on Friday 21st November at 10:00 am from HeritageLive.Seetickets.com. VIP packages are also available, with full information at www.heritagelive.net.

Two decades after their debut, Jake Shears, Babydaddy, and Del Marquis are set to return with their signature mix of “chaos, glam, grit and unapologetic queer joy”. Their 2004 album, ‘Scissor Sisters’, was the best-selling album in the UK that year, selling over 2 million copies and going 9x Platinum. It led to the band winning three BRIT Awards in 2005 for Best International Album, Best International Group, and Best International Breakthrough Act.

For this show, Scissor Sisters have partnered with PLUS1, giving ticket buyers the option to donate £1 at checkout to support Not A Phase and their work uplifting the lives of trans+ adults across the UK.

The group joins an already impressive line-up for Heritage Live at Audley End 2026, which includes The Streets headlining on Friday 7th August, Pete Tong’s Ibiza Classics on Saturday 8th August, and Faithless on Sunday 9th August. Previous headliners at the historic venue have included Richard Ashcroft, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Soft Cell, Sir Tom Jones, and Elbow.
