Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Jake Shears to bring in 2025 in style with BBC performance

Queer music fans’ favourite Sophie Ellis-Bextor and gay star Jake Shears will welcome in 2025 in style with a New Year’s Eve performance on BBC One.

On the back of a successful year, thanks to Saltburn sending her 2001 track “Murder on the Dancefloor” flying back up the charts, the queen of the Kitchen Disco will host a concert featuring a host of famous faces.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s NYE Disco will air on BBC One from 11.30pm on Tuesday (31 December), before cutting away briefly at midnight for the traditional fireworks display and chimes of Big Ben from London, then carry on with more performances.

Ellis-Bextor will be joined on stage by Scissor Sisters frontman Shears, Jessie Ware, The Last Dinner Party’s guitarist Emily Roberts and the MDL Singers.
