Saint Etienne, the beloved electronic pop collective led by Sarah Cracknell, Bob Stanley, and Pete Wiggs, has confirmed the details of their final UK tour, slated for September 2026. This announcement follows the release of their final studio album, International (September 2025), which was critically praised as a pop music masterclass that distilled everything fans love about the band’s distinctive sound. The final album and subsequent tour mark the culmination of a 35-year career that began with their first live show at London’s Heaven nightclub in November 1990.

Since their debut, Saint Etienne has built an illustrious legacy, appearing at major festivals across the globe and sharing bills with a diverse range of artists, including James Brown, Kylie Minogue, and the early years of bands like Oasis and Pulp. The farewell tour is not framed as a moment of sadness but rather as a series of celebrations—parties built around a comprehensive live set. The band promises to draw on the “best of the best” from their career, including 13 albums and 17 UK Top 40 singles.

While the band has hinted that shows in Europe, America, Japan, or Australia may follow, they have been definitive about their home country: the September 2026 run will be the final opportunity for UK fans to catch Saint Etienne on tour, urging devotees not to miss this ultimate musical send-off.
