TK MAXX PRESENTS BEDFORD SUMMER SESSIONS 2026
DEACON BLUE + THE LIGHTNING SEEDS
Thurs 2nd July – Bedford Park
TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions has announced that Deacon Blue will be their next headline act on Thursday 2nd July 2026. The Scottish legends are the fourth act to be announced for next summer’s series of open-air concerts.
The announcement marks Deacon Blue’s first-ever performance in Bedford, bringing one of the UK’s most loved live acts to the town for the first time.
Formed in Glasgow in 1985, Deacon Blue have sold more than seven million albums worldwide and achieved a string of major hits including Dignity, Real Gone Kid, Wages Day, and Fergus Sings the Blues. Their music – full of soaring choruses, heartfelt storytelling, and a distinctly Scottish sense of soul, has made them one of Britain’s most enduring and best-loved bands.
In March 2025, the band released their latest studio album, The Great Western Road, via Cooking Vinyl. The album celebrates 40 years since Ricky Ross and Dougie Vipond first formed Deacon Blue, reflecting on the journey so far while staying true to the spirit that has defined them from the start.
Ricky Ross says:
“It’s just the next part of the adventure and it’s as exciting now as it was back in 1988.”
