Tickets will first be available via an O2 presale on Wednesday, 3 December from 10am, followed by a venue and Ticketmaster presale on Thursday, 4 December, also from 10am. General sale tickets will go live on Ticketmaster at 10am on Friday, 5 December. The band – Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell – will take to the stage in Brighton as part of their farewell run after more than 30 years of performing together.
Saint Etienne’s debut live appearance took place on 15 November 1990 at Heaven nightclub in London, shortly after the release of their first single Only Love Can Break Your Heart.
Throughout their career, they have toured alongside major British acts including Oasis, Stereolab, Broadcast and Pulp, and have shared festival line-ups with global icons such as James Brown and Kylie Minogue. Their final studio album, International, released in September 2025, received widespread acclaim, with critics calling it a finely crafted celebration of the sound that has defined Saint Etienne’s legacy.

Over the years, the group have produced 17 UK Top 40 singles and 13 albums, securing their place in British pop history. While they have suggested that performances may still take place in Europe, North America, Japan or Australia, they have confirmed that 2026 will be the last year fans can see them tour in the UK.
