Republica - Announce huge UK tour!!!

A nice slice of Brit-Pop!!!

Brit-Pop trailblazers Republica have announced a major UK tour this autumn, marking thirty years since their explosive rise as one of the late 90s’ defining acts. Running across October and November 2026, the tour will see the band bring their unmistakable Techno-Pop, Punk Rock, Electronica sound back to stages nationwide. Fronted by the iconic Saffron, Republica emerged alongside a wave of era-defining female-fronted bands including Catatonia, Elastica, Echobelly, Sleeper, Kenickie and Skunk Anansie, helping shape the sound and attitude of Brit-Pop at its peak.

Their breakthrough hits 'Ready to Go' and 'Drop Dead Gorgeous' became instant anthems, ubiquitous across radio, MTV and global youth culture, and now firmly re-established as defining tracks of a Brit-Pop revival surging back into fashion. With over three million albums sold and a UK top-three debut, their impact endures, with their music continuing to feature in major titles including Captain Marvel and hit series Yellowjackets and Ted Lasso. That resurgence has brought renewed spotlight. Saffron recently performed as part of Alex James’ Brit-Pop Orchestra, placing Republica back at the centre of the cultural conversation.

Renowned for their high-energy live shows, the band have played major festivals including Glastonbury Festival and Reading and Leeds festivals, and continue to perform worldwide, including halftime performances from Saffron during the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. The anniversary tour opens on the 16th of October at Strings, Isle of Wight, before travelling across the UK, including a London date at The Garage on the 28th of November, and closing in Bristol on the 29th of November. As Brit-Pop finds a new generation, Republica’s 30th anniversary tour is both a celebration and a reminder of just how powerful that sound still is.
