When Sugar announced their reunion back in October, frontman Bob Mould noted he wanted “to see if people are still interested” before announcing any “more songs or more shows.” Well, the reaction to the group’s first song in 30 years, “House of Dead Memories,” and sold out New York and London residencies appears to confirm people are definitely still interested, so Sugar have announced a full international tour and shared the new single “Long Live Love.”
According to a press release, “Long Live Love” and “House of Dead Memories” were recorded together in June 2025. The chugging new track finds Mould encouraging himself to keep pushing through the knowledge that love and pain go hand in hand: “The heartache will set in/ And I fly like a peregrine/ Marking off the distance with a freshly tainted styptic.” Watch the music video below.
A 7-inch single of “House of Dead Memories” b/w “Long Live Love” will be released May 1st via BMG. Pre-orders are available now.

As for Sugar’s live shows, the “Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour” will pick up right after the band’s previously announced May residencies. They’ll stop in Belfast on May 26th and go on to Manchester, Dublin, Glasgow, and another London stop on June 4th, before heading to the EU for shows in Oslo, Copenhagen, Berlin, Paris, Antwerp and more. The US leg will run August 11th (Denver) through October 24th (the band’s Athens, Georgia hometown), with stops in Seattle, San Francisco, Brooklyn, Boston, Cincinnati, and two-night stands in both Minneapolis and Philadelphia along the way.
Tickets go on pre-sale Tuesday, January 27th at 10 am local time, with general sale starting Friday, January 30th. $2 of every US ticket will go to The Trevor Project, while £2/€2 of every UK/EU ticket will go to PLUS1. Tickets for the US shows can be found via Ticketmaster or AXS (check both sites for your specific venue), and get UK and EU tickets via Ticketmaster. Find the complete itinerary below.
In a press statement about the band’s reunion, Mould said, “Sugar was dormant for decades and sounds and styles are always changing. Nothing is certain and we had no idea there would be such a positive reaction to the first song. We were heartened to see the excitement for the NYC and London shows. It’s been wonderful to hear people talking so fondly about how much the band meant to them — the strength of the songs, the energy of the shows (and the decibel levels of them!). It was a super special time for all of us. Now that we’re back in business, we’re laser-focused on getting in shape for an exciting year of loud rock shows around the world!”
