Shakespears Sister Ride Again


Shakespears Sister Ride Again is an all-UK concert tour by British-Irish/American rock act Shakespears Sister, which was announced along with their reunion in May 2019. Prior to their reunion and the tour's announcement, band members Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit hadn't spoken in twenty-seven years following a well publicised feud. The tour was announced in support of their compilation album Singles Party and their EP Ride Again. Consisting of 14 dates, Shakespears Sister Ride Again launched on October 31, 2019, in Nottingham and is set to conclude on November 20, 2019 in Brighton. The tour is managed by London Records.

Background

Shakespears Sister initially parted in 1993, shortly after the release of their million-selling album Hormonally Yours and following tensions between Fahey and Detroit. Fahey intermittently revived the name Shakespears Sister as a solo act, releasing albums online. In May 2019, it was formally announced that Fahey and Detroit would reunite on stage later in the year. A UK tour, titled Shakespears Sister Ride Again, to open in Nottingham on 31 October 2019, was announced during the same month. A new single, All the Queen's Horses, was released on 15 May, with an accompanying music video. This was followed by the compilation album, Singles Party, in July 2019.
The duo performed "Stay" on The Graham Norton Show on 10 May 2019; their first TV performance together since 1993. They also announced that they were recording an EP of new material. The EP Ride Again was released on 25 October 2019, and was followed on the 31 October with the opening night of Shakespears Sister Ride Again.
