Alternative rock anthems from Sugar in VEGA
Sugar left a significant mark on alternative rock in the early 90s and are now active again and will take their music back to the stage in 2026.
With the reunion of the original members, and new music on the way, the concert is a rare opportunity to experience a band whose background continues to have great significance, extending far beyond the present.
Sugar took shape in late 1991 when Bob Mould brought together David Barbe and Malcolm Travis and got straight to work. The first concerts in 1992 at the 40 Watt Club in Athens were the starting point for a band that quickly found its own language live. Shortly after, Copper Blue and changes everything. The album was named NME's “Album of the Year” in 1992, and songs like “A Good Idea”, “Helpless” and “If I Can't Change Your Mind” became instant hits.
Audiences grow from clubs to large outdoor stages, and Sugar delivers a show-stealing set at the Great X-pectations Festival in London. In 1993, Beaster follows, darker and more direct, still recorded during the same period, but with an energy that hits harder live. The following year, the band expands File Under: Easy Listening The palette broadens further, without losing its intensity, cementing Sugar as a band that keeps pushing forward. After the final tour in 1995, the music remains. Over the years, the catalog grows in importance, and concert recordings and reissues keep the sound alive.
The trio will reunite in 2025. With the new song “House Of Dead Memories” and concert plans in 2026, Sugar is back where it has always made the most sense: on stage, with volume, nerve and a back catalogue that still feels alive.
