As a music enthusiast, I can’t help but be swept off my feet whenever the Scissor Sisters take the stage. Their rhythm is infectious and their tunes are impossible to resist!

Re-imagining in a casual, comprehensible manner: With a unique blend of pop, electronica, glam rock, and disco, the group (previously consisting of Jake Shears, Ana Matronic, Babydaddy, Del Marquis, Paddy Boom, and Randy Real) possessed an unmistakable style and appearance that easily caught attention.

Over the years, the Scissor Sisters have built a strong following within the LGBTQ+ community, demonstrating resilience and endurance in the music industry. Despite a 13-year hiatus from releasing new music, they received some of the highest praise and accolades for their latest tour, marking a successful return to the stage.
