SCISSOR SISTERS didn’t feel like dancin’ for a long time – but they do now!
I can confirm the US group are reuniting after 12 years for a huge UK tour in 2025.

Jake Shears and Ana Matronic will hit the road in 2025, although there are currently no plans to make new music, having not released a full album since 2012’s Magic Hour.
The announcement, expected tomorrow, comes 20 years after they topped the UK charts with their self-titled debut album.
They have quietly teased the news by beaming their scissors logo, which looks like a pair of legs, on British arenas including London’s O2 and Manchester’s Co-op Live.
A music insider said: “There have been talks about a Scissor Sisters reunion for years but it was never the right time.

“Now schedules are finally in place for shows in 2025.
“The band are on good terms again and it’s all systems go.
“They will be playing major arenas up and down the UK and the hope is that there is new music further down the line.”
As well as Jake and Ana, the band includes bassist and keyboard player Babydaddy, guitarist Del Marquis and drummer Randy Real.
Asked earlier this month if he would like the group to reunite for a new album, Jake said: “I would love that.
“I would love to.
“It’s really a dream of mine and I hope that I can make it happen someday.”

They released four albums during their time together and had hits such as Laura, Take Your Mama, Filthy/Gorgeous, Comfortably Numb and their No1 smash I Don’t Feel Like Dancin’.
Since then, Jake has released two solo albums and had a starring role in Cabaret in London’s West End, while Ana has become a radio presenter and DJ.
I have loved reliving my youth in the last few years with gigs from Busted, S Club and JLS, so I’ll be right there for another slice of nostalgic pop.
