SUNDAY HEADLINER ANNOUNCEMENT - THE BLUETONES!!!We are delighted to announce the The Bluetones will be headlining the Eames Laurie Main Stage at Minety Music Festival, Wiltshire, on Sunday 5th July 2026.
The Bluetones first came to prominence in 1995, when their debut release ‘Are You Blue Or Are You Blind’ broke into the Top 40. The single proved to be the launching pad for a run that saw 14 hit singles and 6 albums follow on from it.
From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark & Scott Morriss alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, enjoyed considerable UK and Ireland successes, extending out across into Europe and Japan, before taking a hiatus in 2011 that lasted for 4 years.
Since then they have re-established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts, regularly touring their extensive catalogue to their army of devoted fans.
�
2024 saw the release of the first new Bluetones material in 14 years, and was to be as exciting a year for the group as they’ve ever enjoyed. A renaissance that saw the four original band members take in the summer festivals before a full UK tour in the autumn/winter of 2024.
The release of 'London Weekend Television' in 2025 saw them reaffirm themselves as indie-pop royalty, and 2026 sees the band celebrate the 30th anniversary of Platinum selling album ‘Expecting To Fly’, famed for hit singles, such as ‘Bluetonic’, ‘Slight Return’ and Cut Some Rug’. We can't wait to welcome them to Minety Music Festival for the very first time... You're in for a real treat!!!
“The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
“The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychadelic- tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman
