Step into Britpop history as The Bluetones take the intimate stage at The Plough. First rising to fame in 1995 with “Are You Blue or Are You Blind?”, the band went on to deliver 14 hit singles and six albums, becoming a defining sound of a generation.

Brothers Mark and Scott Morriss, alongside Adam Devlin and Eds Chesters, bring their timeless tunes and signature onstage chemistry to a rare, up-close performance. With new material arriving in 2024, this is a perfect chance to relive classic hits like “Slight Return” and “Marblehead Johnson” while experiencing the band’s modern evolution.

Expect nostalgia, sing-alongs, and the warmth of a truly intimate standing show, with some balcony seating. Tickets are limited — secure yours now!

Running time 90 minutes
  • “The Bluetones run the gamut from classic indie-pop to psychadelic- tinged rock with unselfconscious ease” – The Scotsman
  • “The Bluetones are a band tied to their Brit Pop past but with tunes that begin to transcend it too” – Louder Than War
