“UMusic announces world tour and new single from Sugar”
the upcoming “Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour” on the official Sugar website for the full list of tour dates.
One of the most intriguing aspects of the new single, “Long Live Love,” is the inspiration behind its creation. Bob Mould, the mastermind behind this track, shared that the song was conceived back in 2007 during his time in Washington D.C. under the administration of George W. Bush. Despite being immersed in his DJ activities with Blowoff, Mould found himself drawn back to writing guitar-driven pop songs. Drawing influences from iconic albums like Garbage 2.0, Mould admitted that “Long Live Love” has a certain vibe reminiscent of a lost Garbage track, adding an exciting element to Sugar’s musical repertoire.
Alongside the release of “Long Live Love,” Sugar will also be offering fans a special treat with the vinyl edition release of “House of Dead Memories” on May 1 through BMG. These releases mark the band’s first music offerings in three decades, following their acclaimed album “File Under: Easy Listening” in 1994. After the disbandment of pioneering alt-rock group Hüsker Dü, Mould paved the way for Sugar’s formation and subsequent success. Despite a brief reunion in 2011 to commemorate their 20th anniversary, Mould swiftly returned to his solo endeavors, culminating in the release of his latest album “Here We Go Crazy” in 2025.
For fans eagerly anticipating Sugar’s grand return to the stage, the “Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour” promises to be a sensational experience. With tour dates announced across Europe and North America, including a performance at the upcoming Azkena Rock Festival in Vitoria-Gazteiz on June 19, fans can expect an electrifying showcase of Sugar’s timeless music. Alongside the captivating live performances, the release of “Long Live Love” and its accompanying music video directed by Lee Gregory offers a glimpse into the band’s creative evolution and enduring appeal.
As Sugar gears up for their highly anticipated world tour and album releases, the music community is buzzing with excitement over the band’s triumphant comeback. Stay tuned for more updates and exclusive insights into Sugar’s musical journey and the vibrant world they continue to create through their timeless tunes.
