Sugar is coming to Basilica Hudson on Sunday, October 18th — and if you have been waiting thirty-one years for this, Hudson is the right place to do it.
About Sugar
Bob Mould (guitar/vocals), David Barbe (bass), and Malcolm Travis (drums) formed Sugar in late 1991, a year after Mould wrapped his run with Hüsker Dü. The band moved fast: their debut Copper Blue dropped in 1992, was named NME’s Album of the Year, and produced “If I Can’t Change Your Mind” — a song that still holds up like it was recorded last week. Beaster followed in 1993 (debuting at #3 in the UK), then File Under: Easy Listening in 1994, which cracked the top 10 in the UK and the upper reaches of the Billboard 200. Then a Japanese tour in early 1995, and that was it. Thirty-one years of silence.
Until now. The Love You Even Still 2026 World Tour is Sugar’s first world tour in over three decades. They reunited in June 2025, recorded “House of Dead Memories” at Tiny Telephone Oakland, and the reintroduction has been building ever since. A new 7-inch — “Long Live Love” b/w “House of Dead Memories” — is out now via BMG, and the October Hudson date lands near the end of a packed North American fall run. Two days before, they play Brooklyn Steel. The night before, Roadrunner in Boston. Then Hudson.
J. Robbins (Jawbox) opens.
Venue Info
Basilica Hudson holds 1,000 — enough room that you won’t feel crammed, small enough that you’ll feel the room. The venue is an arts and event space at 110 S Front St in Hudson, NY, right in the Hudson Valley. Hudson itself is worth building the night around: the city has one of the more interesting downtowns in the region, and a Sunday show there is easy to turn into a full day trip from Syracuse, Albany, or anywhere along the lower Hudson Valley corridor.
Tickets & Pricing
The show is all ages. Doors at 7:00 PM. Two dollars from every U.S. ticket goes to The Trevor Project. Tickets are on sale now through The Bowery Presents.
