Sound the alarm… British garage-pop royalty are officially back! More than two decades after they helped define the sound – and senselessness – of British club culture in the early 2000s, Mis-Teeq have announced their long-awaited reunion, confirming a one-night-only headline show at London’s OVO Arena Wembley in September.
The pioneering trio – Sabrina Washington, Alesha Dixonand Su-Elise Nash – revealed today (May 22) that they will be reuniting for A One Night Stand with Mis-Teeqset for Saturday, September 12, in what marks the group’s first major live performance together in years.
Tickets for the show go on general sale at 10.00 on Friday, May 29. Fans can also sign up to Mis-Teeq’s mailing list for early access to tickets, with an artist sale starting at 10.00 on Wednesday, May 27.
For fans who grew up on champagne-soaked garage beats, diamond-era music videos and the unmistakable bounce of songs that ‘Scandal’, “All I Want”and ‘Why?’lands the announcement as a send-up from a golden age of British pop. Few groups managed to fuse UK garage, R&B and mainstream chart ambitions with the same ease – or influence – as Mis-Teeq, whose arrival at the turn of the millennium helped bring underground Black British club sounds into the pop spotlight.
Their elegant harmonies and bass-heavy production arrived at a defining moment for British music, bridging pirate radio energy with crossover chart success. While American R&B dominated the global airwaves in the early 2000s, Sabrina, Alesha and Su-Elise created a distinctly British identity: fast two-step rhythms, glossy hooks and a fashion sense that was instantly timeless.
Alyosha says: “Nothing happens before it’s time, and I can’t think of a better time than now to celebrate the 25th anniversary of “Lick Both Sides”! We can’t wait to relive the magic and energy of that record and many more, with the very people who made it so special. I am also excited for my daughters “The Mis-Teeq Babies” to see us come back strong!”
Su-Elise adds: “It honestly feels surreal that 25 years later people still connect so deeply with the music we made together. Looking back, I’m so proud that Mis-Teeq played a part in bringing UK Garage to the masses, and I don’t think any of us could have imagined the lasting impact our songs would go on to have. Wembley feels like the perfect place for the fans and the fans who have the perfect place and who have the perfect place for memories and memories.stayed with us through every chapter.I can’t wait to be back on stage with my Mis-Teeq ladies and to see my son’s face when he sees his mom perform again for the first time in decades.
Sabrina says: “It feels incredibly emotional to look back 25 years later and realize how deeply our music has connected with people around the world. We made these records simply for our love of music and the different sounds that inspired us – from Garage, R&B, Hip-Hop and Reggae – not knowing how impactful they would become. I feel incredibly grateful for all the people who are still so humble and humble from today and that they are so humble for all generations today is something I will never take for granted.”
Mis-Teeq – Scandalous (Official Video)
Originally formed in the late 90’s, Mis-Teeq quickly progressed from underground favorites to chart toppers, scoring a string of Top 10 hits and gaining international attention! Their breakout single ‘Why?’ introduced the crowd to their sultry, club-ready sound before songs like “Roll on / This is how we do it” and “Can’t Get It Back” cemented their status as one of the decade’s most influential girl groups.
Although they officially parted ways in 2005, speculation of a comeback has followed them ever since. Reunion rumors intensified periodically over the years, especially as nostalgia for early 2000s British pop and garage culture grew across streaming platforms, festivals and TikTok edits. Yet, until now, a full-scale return remained elusive.
The Wembley announcement finally makes it official.
While specific details surrounding the performance are still under wraps, the show will be celebrating its 25th anniversary “licks both sides” – the group’s landmark debut album – along with their wider catalog and enduring legacy. Fans are already anticipating surprise guests, archival footage and a full-scale revival of the Y2K garage aesthetic that Mis-Teeq helped pioneer.
Their return also comes amid a wider renaissance for British garage and R&B. A new generation of artists – from PinkPantheress to FLO — have openly embraced the sounds and visual language that groups like Mis-Teeq helped popularize. In many ways, the trio’s influence never faded; it simply evolved into the DNA of modern British pop.
Now the architects themselves step back on stage.
For longtime fans, A One Night Stand with Mis-Teeq is more than a reunion concert. It’s the return of a group that helped soundtrack a generation – and reshaped the possibilities of British pop in the process.
