Saltburn singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor is coming to play a gig in Oxford next year.

The 45-year-old’s 2001 hit single Murder on the Dancefloor enjoyed a resurgence earlier this year with the release of Saltburn which was set and filmed at Oxford University.

It charted at #2 in the UK Singles Chart and #58 in the Billboard Top 100, with the song reaching over 11 billion global streams across all streaming and social platforms.

Now Sophie’s connection with the city will see her play a live show at the New Theatre on George Street in 2025.
