Sophie Ellis-Bextor announces Kitchen Disco Tour
By Andy Malt | Published on Friday 17 July 2020
Sophie Ellis-Bextor has announced an album and tour based on her Instagram Live ‘kitchen disco’ sessions during lockdown. So everyone can stop asking how you make money off livestreams on Instagram now.
“During lockdown, our family kitchen discos became a precious time where we could all bop about and be a bit silly. It made me feel connected to everyone who joined us and I can honestly say the music was a real tonic which brought sparkly joy to my soul every Friday”, she says.
“The discos we shared have inspired me and now I want to see all your faces so I can sing for you”, she goes on. “I want to give everyone a night where, just for a little while, we can all lose ourselves under the mirror ball and dance and have fun. Won’t that feel magical?! I cannot wait!”
Both the album and the tour will bring together all of Ellis-Bextor’s more disco-leaning tracks, as well as other people’s songs that featured in her kitchen disco sessions.
The album, ‘Songs From The Kitchen Disco’, will be out on 23 Oct, with the tour probably taking place in May next year. You know, providing the more doomy and gloomy of the doom and gloomsters are wrong with their “shutdown for years” predictions.
