I am excited for fans to experience it in the real.”

Malcolm Travis echoed David’s sentiments, expressing his enthusiasm for the reunion. “The return of Sugar is a moment that I’ve been dreaming about for a very long time,” he said. “What we managed to accomplish in the short span of time we were in existence still boggles my mind. There was so much packed into that period… the travel, the shows, the recordings and getting to meet so many people who loved and supported us. To get back to working together again with Bob and David is such a gift and I’m looking forward to what the future has in store for us.”

Bob Mould added an air of excitement with his remarks: “The long pause is over. I’m excited to hit the ‘play’ button. See you in 2026!” This enthusiasm sets the stage for what promises to be a memorable comeback for the band.
