Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced a 17-date Christmas Kitchen Disco Tour for November and December 2027. The UK run opens at Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on Sunday 21 November and finishes at London’s Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday 15 December. General sale starts at 10am GMT on Friday 20 November 2026, a year ahead of the shows.
Ellis-Bextor will perform with her band, with her own hits and festive disco favourites on the bill. The dates bring back the Christmas version of the show that toured in 2023. A Christmas disco album is also in the works for 2027, though the tour announcement does not give a set list.
Christmas Kitchen Disco Tour dates for 2027
The opening week takes in Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo on 21 November, Edinburgh’s Usher Hall on 22 November and Bradford Live on 23 November. The tour then heads to the Brighton Centre on 26 November, Bournemouth International Centre on 27 November and Ipswich Regent Theatre on 28 November.
December begins at Sheffield City Hall on the 1st and The Glasshouse in Gateshead on the 2nd. The next stops are Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on 4 December, Birmingham Symphony Hall on 5 December, Manchester’s Bridgewater Hall on 6 December and York Barbican on 8 December.
The final stretch takes in Bristol Beacon on 10 December, Swansea Building Society Arena on 11 December, Portsmouth Guildhall on 12 December and Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall on 13 December. The Royal Albert Hall finale follows two nights later. The run covers Scotland, England and Wales, with no Northern Ireland date in the announced itinerary.
How to get presale access without buying the album
The artist presale opens at 10am GMT on Tuesday 17 November 2026. Fans can register through the official no-purchase presale form by 10am GMT on Monday 16 November. Pre-ordering the Christmas album from Ellis-Bextor’s UK store is another route to a code. The store says it will send the code and booking link by 5pm GMT on the Monday. Registration gives access to the presale, with tickets subject to availability.
Classic Pop reports that O2 Priority follows at 10am on Wednesday 18 November, with Ticketmaster and venue presales from 10am on Thursday 19 November. It also lists a limit of six tickets per person for the artist presale. Venue registration deadlines, prices and age rules vary. Glasgow’s SEC Armadillo lists tickets from £45.95 to £75.45 including the administration fee, with fulfilment charged separately. Nottingham’s Royal Concert Hall lists £40.50 to £68.50 for its date. Both venues list a separate local presale at 10am on Thursday 19 November. To use either of those routes, fans need to sign up for the relevant venue’s mailing list before 9am on Wednesday 18 November.
From a kitchen livestream to a Christmas tour
The Kitchen Disco started as a series of performances streamed from Ellis-Bextor’s home during lockdown. It soon became the name of a record as well as a live show. Official Charts records that the 2020 compilation Songs from the Kitchen Disco reached number eight in the UK, after Ellis-Bextor released a cover of Alcazar’s Crying at the Discotheque, a song she had performed in the livestreams.
By the time of the first Christmas tour in 2023, the kitchen format had already moved from a phone screen to concert halls. The Guardian’s review of that tour traced the live show back to those Friday night broadcasts. A few weeks later, Murder on the Dancefloor found a new audience through Saltburn and returned to number two in the UK singles chart, the same peak it reached on its original release.
The 2027 tour brings together the songs that made Ellis-Bextor a pop fixture and a Christmas show that grew out of singing disco covers at home. For anyone choosing a date, the venue listing is the best place to check local booking and access details before general sale on 20 November.
