A chart-topping indie band are coming to Macclesfield.

The Bluetones will take to the Cinemac stage this summer.

They first came to prominence in 1995 when their first single 'Are You Blue or Are You Blind' broke into the top 40.

Their debut album 'Expecting to Fly' dropped the following year and briefly topped the UK album charts.

From thereon, the band, made up of brothers Mark and 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 four 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.
