Info
The Bluetones mark 30 years of their debut album Expecting to Fly with a special show at O2 Ritz Manchester in Manchester on 30 October 2026. Formed in west London in 1993, the quartet — Mark Morriss, Adam Devlin, Scott Morriss and Eds Chesters — carved out a melodic corner of britpop, leaning into jangly guitars, clear melodies and a lightly melancholic pop sensibility. This anniversary date puts their 1996 album front and centre: expect the snap of Cut Some Rug, the drift of Bluetonic and the punch of Slight Return, revisited by the original line-up.
Beyond the debut, the set is likely to dip into the songs that shaped their path through Return to the Last Chance Saloon, Science & Nature and beyond, tracing the thread that runs from their indie roots to recent material. It’s a chance to hear that blend of crisp guitars and unfussy hooks up close, with the band reconnecting with the album that introduced them to a wider audience. Plus support.
