Sophie Ellis-Bextor Announces First-Ever U.S. Tour Following ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ Resurgence

There’s no need to “kill the groove” because Sophie Ellis-Bextor is hitting the road. 

On Tuesday, the pop star, 44, announced that she’ll be setting out on a North American tour in 2024. The string of tour dates comes amid the resurgence of her 2001 hit “Murder on the Dancefloor,” which was prompted by the film Saltburn.

Ellis-Bextor revealed she was going on the road across the U.S. and Canada on Instagram, shortly after her New York City concert, which was supposed to be a one-off show, sold out in just one day. 

The British artist shared a tour poster — featuring a shot of her in a disco-inspired teal ensemble and her hair in a bouffant — and revealed in the caption how thrilled she is to go on tour. “Oh my… the New York show sold out in a day! Thank you thank you thank you,” she wrote. 

The caption continued, “So - how about some more shows in some more cities?! San Francisco, San Diego, Washington, Boston, Philadelphia and Toronto - my band and I are coming for you! Super excited. Come and dance with me…. 🪩🥰 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 xxxx.”

Following a European tour that’s ongoing from now until late March, Ellis-Bextor will play seven shows across North America in the spring, hitting a handful of major cities. She’ll first perform two shows in California in late May before heading to the East Coast and eventually wrapping up with one Canadian date in Toronto on June 8. 

Just last week the Ellis-Bextor revealed she would be taking to the stage in NYC for the first time, which promptly sold out earlier this week. “CAN’T WAIT,” she wrote on Instagram when announcing the show. “It’s been a long time coming so let’s make it extra special xx.”

Since the release of Emerald Fennell’s thriller Saltburn in November 2023, Ellis-Bextor’s “Murder on the Dancefloor,” off her 2001 debut solo album Read My Lips, has resurfaced, gone viral on TikTok and become somewhat of a pop culture phenomenon. (In the film, the tune plays for an extended period while star Barry Keoghan dances through the titular mansion in the nude.) 

“Murder on the Dancefloor” received its most-ever streams in a single day on Spotify on New Year’s Eve going into 2024, and it’s since appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time ever, as well as the U.K. Singles Chart where it’s currently sitting pretty at the No. 2 spot.

The hitmaker has also given fans a taste of her live show by recently performing the infectious dance-pop song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and during the 2024 BAFTAs.

Upon the release of Saltburn, Ellis-Bextor told PEOPLE that she was somewhat surprised by how her song was used in the film, but pleased with the results. "Seeing it written down as a premise is different," she said. "I mean, Barry really went for it. And it's, like, the whole song!"

"I didn't really know exactly how it would play in terms of the role it was in the movie until I saw it at the screening, but I absolutely loved it," she added. "I think it's such a clever, funny, smart film. I really enjoyed it."

While Ellis-Bextor’s NYC concert sold out, tickets to the other dates are available and on sale now.
