VENUE UPGRADE: Glasgow! Your keenness is heart-warming. With tickets running low at The Garage, we’ve upgraded the venue to QMU, meaning even more of you can come and see Expecting To Fly in its entirety.
More tickets are now available at Seetickets!
The Bluetones (slight) return to mark the 30th Anniversary of their classic debut album ‘Expecting To Fly’. The band will be heading out across the UK in October and November 2026 to cut some rug whilst playing the record in full. You can also expect to hear a number of other hits from their extensive back catalogue which contains no fewer than 3 Top 10 Albums and 13 Top 40 Singles.

The platinum selling debut album 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.
Full support line up to be announced.
Tickets are £27.50 advance, on sale 10am, Friday 30th January from Seetickets.
