Sugababes have come "full circle" and announced their first major UK headline tour in over 20 years since the release of their influential debut album, One Touch.
Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy have been tip-toeing towards a full-blown comeback for a few years now (first as off-shoot group MKS, now finally reunited with the Sugababes name) and most recently celebrated 20 years of One Touch with a special anniversary release and a performance at this year's Mighty Hoopla festival in London.
Now, the Sacred Three are back and will travelling the length and breadth of the UK later this year. Proceedings will kick off in Bristol, conclude at Glasgow and include a massive show at London's Eventim Hammersmith Apollo.
In a statement announcing the excitement news, Sugababes said: "We’re so excited to come full circle and announce our own headline UK tour. We’ll be hitting the road in October and November - can’t wait to see you all there."

2022 is also a big year for the Babes - as they celebrate 20 years since scoring two of their most successful and innovative UK Number 1s; their first chart-topper Freak Like Me (the first release by the band with new member Heidi Range since Donaghy's sad departure) and Round Round, co-written with pop innovators Xenomania.
One of the most successful UK girlgroups of all time, Sugababes survived various line-up changes throughout their initial life-span, but many fans still regard the original pairing of Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan as the group's optimum formula.
One Touch in particular is still a touch-stone for ice-cool UK pop, and contains breakthrough single Overload. Here's several facts you may have not known about their influential first record.
In total, Sugababes have achieved six UK Number 1 singles (Freak Like Me, Round Round, Hole In The Head, Push The Button, Walk This Way with Girls Aloud and About You Now) two chart-topping albums (Taller In More Ways and Change).
No new music from the reunited band has yet to be announced, but the girls have been open that they have been in the recording studio. They previously recorded and scrapped an album as MKS, including the Dev Hynes produced re-launch bop Flatline. Re-visit the group's official Top 20 biggest singles in the UK here.

Love that girl band but still Heidi is my favorite!! and Siobhan has nothing to do with their success anyway as she left so fast after the release of the first album!!
Rob Parkinson
Yeah they should include Heidi too as she was involved in the majority of thier biggest hits
J
JK
Siobhan was responsible por Overload her greatest song, not the highest peaking hit but no doubt the most influential song from a girl group in decades
Rob Parkinson
I would disagree that it was their greatest song, more like their breakout song to me. A great track but their career flew with the 2nd album which in my opinion has far greater tracks on which was replicated with great chart peaks and carried on through to the next album.
J
JK
I agree to disagree, Overload was their real influential track, not the most successful chart wise speaking, but popularity is not synonymous of quality
Rob Parkinson
Yeah often the case but then Siobhan left with a solo career which did nothing whereas sugarbabes exploded after that era. Its a great track of its time but I just personally feel they did far greater with the next 2 albums and that was what made them and hence Heidi was a huge factor in the era that made them one of the greatest girl bands of all time in the UK
J
JK
Yeah, it’s a matter of taste

The original 3 (that previously left) now are Sugababes... meaning the last three (non-original) have "officially left". Oh well. Sugababes was never great in terms of lineups and membership consistencies. It's not confusing when reading through the lineups. Anyway, I am not caring for the best dynamics or era or all that jazz. Fun, enjoyable music is all I care to hear.
Rob Parkinson
Keisha was kicked out she never left, that was what killed them in the end
