=== 2000s–present === In 2002, [[Universal Music Group|Universal Music]] kicked off the band's [[Audio mastering|remastered]] back catalogue by releasing ''[[The Best of Siouxsie and the Banshees]]''. In April, Siouxsie, Severin, Budgie and Chandler reunited briefly for the Seven Year Itch tour, which spawned ''[[The Seven Year Itch (Siouxsie and the Banshees album)|The Seven Year Itch]]'' live album and DVD in 2003. The day after their last concert in Tokyo, Japan, Siouxsie and Budgie stayed in town on their own and entered a recording studio as the Creatures. Their fourth and final studio album, ''[[Hái!]]'', came out a few months later.{{Sfn|Paytress|2003|p=124}} On 4 March 2004, McGeoch died in his sleep after an epileptic seizure, at the age of 48.{{sfn|Sullivan-Burke|2022}} Siouxsie and Budgie had talked about inviting him to guest with them on stage, before hearing the news.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thecreatures.com/creatures/?view=94&offset=0&length=5 |title=Some Words for John |publisher=Thecreatures.com |date=11 March 2003 |access-date=2 July 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040606174449/http://www.thecreatures.com/creatures/?view=94&offset=0&length=5 |archive-date=6 June 2004 |url-status=dead}}</ref> In November of the same year, ''[[Downside Up]]'', a [[box set]] that collected all of the Banshees' B-sides and ''The Thorn'' EP, was released. ''[[The Times]]'' wrote in its review: "here is a group that never filled B-sides with inferior, throwaway tracks. Rather they saw them as an outlet for some of their most radical and challenging work".<ref name="Times-04c">{{cite news |author=Nigel Williamson |title=Siouxsie & the Banshees |newspaper=The Times |date=27 November 2004}}</ref> In 2006, the band's first four records were remastered and compiled with previously unreleased bonus tracks. Several recordings made for the John Peel radio show from 1978 to 1986 were also compiled on the CD ''[[Voices on the Air: The Peel Sessions]]''. [[AllMusic]] described the first session as "a fiery statement of intent" and qualified the other performances as "excellent".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/r930113 |title=Voices on the Air: The Peel Sessions |website=AllMusic |access-date= 19 May 2010}}</ref> Eleven years after the split of the Banshees, Siouxsie released her debut solo album ''[[Mantaray (album)|Mantaray]]'' in 2007.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/rockandjazzmusic/3667850/Siouxsie-Sioux-strikes-out-alone.html |first=Helen |last=Brown|title=Siouxsie Sioux strikes out alone|publisher=The Telegraph|date=13 September 2007|accessdate=10 April 2009}}</ref> The second batch of the remasters, concerning the band's 1982–1986 era, was issued in April 2009.

In April 2014, their debut single "Hong Kong Garden" was reissued on double [[7-inch]] vinyl. It was announced that this would be part of a three-year plan with Universal. In late October, their last four studio albums (1987's ''Through the Looking Glass'', 1988's ''Peepshow'', 1991's ''Superstition'' and 1995's ''The Rapture'') were reissued on CD in remastered versions with bonus tracks.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://consequence.net/2014/08/siouxsie-and-the-banshees-relaunch-archival-campaign-new-reissues-due-out-in-october/ |title=Siouxsie and the Banshees relaunch archival campaign, new reissues due out in October |publisher=Consequenceofsound |date=22 August 2014 |access-date= 1 September 2014}}</ref> Siouxsie and Severin curated a compilation CD called ''It's a Wonderfull Life'' for the monthly magazine ''Mojo'', issued in September with Siouxsie on the front cover.<ref name="Life">{{cite web |url=http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/MOJOSiouxsie |title=Siouxsie on the cover of Mojo November 2014 |publisher=Greatmagazines |date=25 September 2014 |access-date=1 October 2014 |archive-date=4 December 2014 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141204174832/http://www.greatmagazines.co.uk/MOJOSiouxsie |url-status=dead}}</ref> On this CD, the pair honoured several composers of film and classical music that had inspired them.<ref>{{citation |title=A journey into sound compiled for Mojo by Siouxsie and Steven Severin |work=Mojo |date=November 2014}}</ref> In 2015, after releasing another compilation called ''Spellbound: The Collection'', which included a selection of singles, album tracks and B-sides such as "[[Tattoo (Siouxsie and the Banshees song)|Tattoo]]", the band reissued 1979's ''Join Hands'' on vinyl for [[Record Store Day]], with different cover artwork.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://louderthanwar.com/siouxsie-the-banshees-join-hands-record-store-day-2015-reissue/ |title=Siouxsie & The Banshees 'Join Hands' – Record Store Day 2015 reissue… |publisher=louderthanwar.com |date=10 March 2015 |access-date=18 March 2015}}</ref> A vinyl reissue series on Polydor of all of the band's albums, remastered from the original ¼" tapes in 2018 by Miles Showell and cut at half speed at [[Abbey Road Studios]], began in August 2018.
