Singer Sabrina Washington announced on Monday that she is launching a headline UK solo tour, dashing fans' hopes of a permanent reunion for the British girl group Mis-Teeq following their sold-out concert at London's OVO Arena Wembley.
The tour, titled A One Night Stand Just Ain't Enough, will see Washington perform across the UK in a personal celebration marking more than 25 years of Mis-Teeq.
Her solo tour announcement brings an end to speculation that the group might reunite on a permanent basis following their recent return to the stage.
Solo tour details and setlist
Washington will perform the records she helped create, record and make famous as lead singer of Mis-Teeq, including hit singles Scandalous, All I Want, One Night Stand and Why.
The show will also revisit her solo career following the group's split, featuring international tracks including OMG, Make It Hot and Don't Call Me.
Speaking about her decision to launch the solo tour, Washington expressed gratitude for the audience reaction to the group's recent live appearance.
"The reaction to the Mis-Teeq reunion has honestly been overwhelming," Washington said. "We knew there was still so much love for the music, but seeing just how much these songs continue to mean to people 25 years later has been incredibly emotional."
"From the moment Wembley was announced, I was receiving messages from people saying, 'What about Manchester? Where's Birmingham? Are you coming to Scotland? What about the rest of the world?' and I kept seeing people saying that one night simply wasn't enough," she added. "So there really could only be one name for this tour!"
Washington on the Wembley reunion
"Walking out at Wembley and hearing thousands of people singing those songs back to us was something I'll never forget," Washington said. "It was such a special way for the three of us to celebrate everything we achieved together."
"These songs changed my life. I recorded them, I wrote many of them and I have so many memories and stories attached to them, as do our supporters," she continued. "This tour gives me the opportunity to celebrate that music in my own way and get much closer to the public who have supported us for all these years."
"And I want it to feel like a proper night out. I want people getting their old gang back together, getting dressed up, doing their hair and make-up with the music blasting and then coming out and feeling like they're back in those clubs again," Washington said.
"We're going to have special guests, surprises and some familiar faces from that era joining us along the way, so every night can have something a little bit different. Whether you were there with us 25 years ago or just discovered Scandalous for the first time, this is going to be a celebration. Wembley was our One Night Stand, but as it turns out, a one night stand just ain't enough!"
Mis-Teeq band history and Wembley performance
Mis-Teeq was formed in London in 1999 as a UK garage and R&B group featuring Washington alongside Alesha Dixon and Su-Elise Nash. The trio rose to prominence in the early 2000s, achieving multiple top-ten singles and releasing two studio albums before disbanding in 2005.
Last week, Dixon, Washington and Nash reunited on stage at the OVO Arena Wembley in London for a one-off performance to celebrate 25 years since the release of Mis-Teeq's debut album. The OVO Arena Wembley is a premier indoor arena located in Wembley, London.
Mixed reaction to Britain's Got Talent performance
Earlier this year, the group also returned to the stage during the final of Britain's Got Talent, the popular ITV television talent show where Dixon serves as a judge. Their television appearance sparked widespread debate among viewers on social media platform X, leaving fans divided over the quality of the performance.
Supporters praised the televised performance on X, with one viewer calling them the "Best act of BGT final. Alesha Dixon and Mis-Teeq!" Another fan commented: "Just seen Mis-Teeq performing on BGT and it has made me SO HAPPY. Pure pop perfection."
Other positive posts included one fan writing, "Mis-Teeq making a comeback!? RIP. DIED. DEAD; OMG MIS-TEEQ WAS AMAZING," while another claimed Mis-Teeq were the "real winners of BGT! What a comeback."
However, the performance drew criticism from other viewers who questioned their return. One user wrote, "Mis-Teeq are either skint or they need the money...BGT," while another said: "Mis-Teeq just closed out the BGT final. I was expecting a lot and didn't get it. Where were the dancers? They needed more to fill the stage and hide the vocals more."
Additional critical comments on X included one person stating, "I was considering going to see Mis-Teeq... maybe not," while another argued that "Some things should be left in the past." Another viewer questioned the booking, writing: "So they couldn't get anyone better than bloody Mis-Teeq."
Other users raised concerns about commercial promotion on television. One viewer wrote: "ITV you are a commercial TV company, did you give free advertising to Alesha Dixon and Mis-Teeq? Because if you did other private companies are subsidising this and should get parts of the revenue." Another user echoed the sentiment: "True colours of BGT coming through...advertising Mis-Teeq (Aka Alesha Dixon) on primetime. Free advertising."
One critic summarized their disappointment sharply, writing: "Mis-Teeq = Mis-take. That was a shouty effin awful mess."
