Sugababes to headline show at Lincoln Castle

The Sugababes have been announced as the final headline act at this year's Live at Lincoln Castle.

The BRIT Award winners will perform at the event on 20 June, with tickets going on sale at 10:00 GMT on Friday.

The pop trio, comprised of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy, will be joined by singer-songwriter Freya Ridings.

They are the last headliners to be confirmed and will join Olly Murs, Rag N Bone Man, Texas and Simple Minds on the castle stage.

Sting, The Human League, UB40, Indie heroes James, Buzzcocks and The Stranglers are also performing headline shows at Live at Lincoln Castle this summer.

The ten headline concerts are part of Lincolnshire County Council's partnership with Live Nation promoters Cuffe and Taylor to bring artists to perform in a historic location.

Promoter Mark Harrison said after three decades in the industry, the group had "cemented their place as pop icons and defined an era in pop music".

The chart-topping girl group rose to fame in the early 2000s and are best known for their hits Push The Button, Round Round and About You Now.

In 2009, Buchanan was replaced by Jade Ewen. The band split in 2011 before reforming with its original members in 2013 under the name MKS.

They regained the rights to their name, Sugababes, in 2019 and rereleased an album in 2021 to celebrate their 20th anniversary.

Ridings, who will be supporting the group on stage, is best known for her song Lost Without You, which secured her a Brit Award nomination.
