Formed in 1990 by Croydon natives Bob Stanley and Pete Wiggs, Saint Etienne made waves with their debut single, a compelling cover of Neil Young’s ‘Only Love Can Break Your Heart’.

Adding vocalist Sarah Cracknell in 1991, the band’s Mercury Prize‑nominated album Foxbase Alpha arrived that same year, kicking off a 35-year career chock full of hit singles and critically acclaimed releases.

The first band ever broadcast live from Glastonbury Festival in 1994, Sinat Etienne have had three UK Top 10 albums, including last year’s International, which was met with rapturous acclaim.

As they wind down their career, fans across Australia and New Zealand have the rare chance to experience the band’s shimmering, genre‑blurring sound live, one final time.
