Summer Nights at the Bandstand 2026
Sophie Ellis Bextor
plus special guests
Doors: 6.30pm
With an impressive musical career that spans over 25-years, Sophie has achieved five top 10 albums and eight top 10 singles. With hits including ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, ‘Take Me Home’, ‘Get Over You’, ‘Heartbreak (Make Me a Dancer)’ and many more, ‘Freedom of the Night’ is the beginning of a return to Sophie’s distinctive sound, embracing her musical roots across pop, disco, and dance.
Most recently, after featuring in the epic final scene of Emerald Fennell’s film ‘Saltburn’, Sophie’s beloved 2001 hit ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’ saw a huge resurgence, charting at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 In the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms.
Sophie has recently toured sold-out headline shows across Europe and the US, supported Nile Rodgers, and appeared at festivals across the world, including performing with Peggy Gou during her set at Glastonbury, following her own set on the legendary Pyramid Stage in 2023.
Next up, Sophie is supporting Take That in Australia in November and The Human League across the UK this December. Look out for more tour news and announcements coming soon including a video for ‘Freedom of the Night’ launching next Friday.
Regular Music’s annual Summer Nights festival, which runs from the end of July into August each year, has become a firm favourite with music fans and scooped the Unesco City of Music Best Live Event at the Scottish Music Awards in 2017.
Gates for Summer Nights at the Bandstand open each night at 6.30pm with draft bars serving a range of drinks including Birra Moretti lager and a selection of delicious street food available.
