Prior to their reunion and the tour's announcement, band members Siobhan Fahey and Marcella Detroit hadn't spoken in twenty-seven years following a well publicised feud.
[1] The tour was announced in support of their compilation album Singles Party and their EP Ride Again.
Consisting of 14 dates, Shakespears Sister Ride Again launched on October 31, 2019, in Nottingham and concluded on November 20, 2019 in Brighton.
Shakespears Sister initially parted in 1993, shortly after the release of their million-selling album Hormonally Yours and following tensions between Fahey and Detroit.
Fahey intermittently revived the name Shakespears Sister as a solo act, releasing albums online.
