Tickets priced from €42.85 including booking fee & €1.50 restoration levy go on sale at 10am on Friday 5th December with Ticketmaster Ireland
Three Ireland presale on sale 10am on Wednesday 3rd December with #Three+
Saint Etienne’s first ever live performance was on 15th November 1990 at Heaven nightclub in London, just a few months after the release of their debut single ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’.
Although the band haven’t been the most prolific live act over the last 35 years, they’ve played most major festivals around the globe and visited more countries than Bob Stanley, Pete Wiggs and Sarah Cracknell can count on their combined fingers.
Saint Etienne UK tours have included support acts Oasis, Stereolab, Broadcast and Pulp and the band have appeared on festival bills alongside the great and the good, from James Brown to Kyle Minogue and too many others to mention.
But unlike most of their predecessors or peers Saint Etienne wish to bow out on a high with their dignity intact. Their final studio album ‘International' released in September 2025 was a pop music masterclass that reminded us of what we love about the band. Shows to celebrate its release and the band's long goodbye were promised and now we have news of their final UK tour in September 2026.
Roll up, roll up as we celebrate Saint Etienne's final UK & IRE tour...
Will there be tours in Europe, America, Japan or Australia?
Who knows, but one thing is certain - when Saint Etienne say something they mean it - so if you want to catch them on tour in the UK /IRE, 2026 will be your last chance.
