The Bluetones return to mark 30 years of their classic debut album ‘Expecting to Fly’. The band celebrate the album’s success with a tour across the UK in October and November 2026 including dates in Manchester and London.
You can expect to hear the iconic record in full as well as a number of the groups fan-favourites from their extensive back catalogue which contains no fewer than 3 Top 10 Albums and 13 Top 40 Singles.
The platinum selling debut ‘Expecting to Fly’ charted at Number 1 in the UK Charts, displacing Oasis’ ‘What’s The Story (Morning Glory)’ for a week. ‘Slight Return’, the album’s most successful single also reached Number 2 on the official charts.
A bit of a rarity these days in that all 4 original members are still very much together, Mark Morriss (vocals), Adam Devlin (guitar), Eds Chesters (drums) and Scott Morriss (bass) are sure to keep the home fires burning. This tour offers long-time followers a chance to relive the youthful energy and heartfelt songwriting that made ‘Expecting to Fly’ such a beloved album and a chance for such a legendary UK band to be celebrated by their dedicated fanbase.
Throughout the 30 years as a band, The Bluetones have repeatedly established themselves as one of the UK’s most consistently entertaining live acts.
Tickets for Manchester and London dates for The Bluetones 30th celebration of ‘Expecting to Fly’ are available from Friday 30 January at 10am via https://lnk.to/TheBluetones.
