Since the release of her debut album ‘Read My Lips’ in 2001, which sold over two million copies worldwide, Ellis-Bextor has had six top 10 singles, including ‘Take Me Home’, ‘Get Over You’, ‘Murder on the Dancefloor’, and ‘Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love)’.

The singer said: “It’s so exciting to be performing hits from my entire career with full orchestral arrangements for the first time! This is a bit of a dream come true. I’m especially delighted that I get to do some proper full-on live disco with strings.. it’s going to be really special!”
