Disco sensation Sophie Ellis-Bextor is set to conclude her Australian tour in Perth on February 12, 2026. The English pop star, known for her distinctive sound from the early 2000s, will perform at the Ice Cream Factory after electrifying audiences in Melbourne, Sydney, and Brisbane. This tour marks a significant return for Ellis-Bextor, who has maintained her presence in the music industry while re-engaging with fans old and new.
Ellis-Bextor’s career saw a resurgence in popularity when her iconic hit, Murder on the Dancefloor, was featured in the 2023 film *Saltburn*. The song was subsequently covered by Australian indie band Royel Otis and remixed numerous times, reintroducing her to a younger audience while bringing her back into global music charts.
Fans can expect a nostalgic experience as Ellis-Bextor performs a blend of her classic hits along with new material from her recently released eighth studio album, Perimenopop. Released just last Friday, the album features singles Dolce Vita and Taste. The artist expressed her excitement about the album, stating, “I’ve been bringing my new album Perimenopop around with me on my travels these past couple of weeks and I must say, she is great company.”
Reflecting on the timing of her release, Ellis-Bextor shared her thoughts on social media. “Sometimes there’s a sprinkle of serendipity that really ties a creative project together. Releasing Perimenopop as autumn arrives and the leaves change colour is absolutely perfect and it feels so right,” she wrote. Her connection to the seasons and her music illustrates the deeper meaning behind her work, emphasizing the personal significance of her artistic journey.
The upcoming performance in Perth will be a highlight for fans who remember her previous visit in 2024, where she supported the British boyband Take That. Her ability to evolve while staying true to her roots allows her to resonate with a wide range of audiences, making her performances a blend of nostalgia and contemporary appeal.

– February 6, 2026: Forum, Melbourne, VIC
– February 7, 2026: Roundhouse, Sydney, NSW
– February 10, 2026: The Tivoli, Brisbane, QLD
