On The Table Read Magazine, “the best arts and entertainment magazine UK“, Get ready to dance as pop icons Scissor Sisters bring their unstoppable glam, grit, and queer joy to the stunning grounds of Audley End Estate on Thursday 6th August 2026 for an unforgettable Heritage Live summer spectacle packed with all their legendary hits.
Scissor Sisters
Pop legends Scissor Sisters are set to bring their electrifying energy to the historic grounds of Audley End Estate in Saffron Walden, Essex, on Thursday, 6th August 2026. This highly anticipated show forms part of the prestigious Heritage Live concert series, promising a night of unapologetic glamour, chaos, and queer joy under the summer sky.
Fresh from their triumphant 2025 reunion – which included a sold-out UK arena tour, a legendary Saturday night slot at Glastonbury, and a co-headline North American run with Kesha on the “Tits Out Tour” – Jake Shears, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, and their band are extending the celebrations into 2026. Dubbed “The Kiki Continues,” the performance will feature all their iconic hits, from genre-bending anthems like Take Your Mama and I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’ to the infectious Let’s Have a Kiki.
Two decades on from their explosive debut, Scissor Sisters remain unstoppable. Their self-titled 2004 album was the UK’s best-selling record that year, shifting over 3 million copies worldwide (with 2 million in the UK alone). It achieved 9x Platinum status, ranked as the 20th biggest-selling album of the 21st century in the UK, and earned them three BRIT Awards in 2005 – sweeping all international categories, a first in history.
Audley End Show
The Audley End show builds on the band’s 20-year anniversary festivities, marking their return to live stages after more than a decade away. Expect their signature mix of grit, glam, and filthy/gorgeous vibes in one of England’s most picturesque settings.
In a meaningful partnership, Scissor Sisters have teamed up with PLUS1, allowing fans to add a £1 donation at checkout to support Not A Phase, a charity uplifting trans+ adults across the UK.
