Music fans from across the generations will be thrilled with the latest headline acts to be announced for the TK Maxx Presents Bedford Summer Sessions 2025 lineup.
Pop-rockers McFly and synth-pop trailblazers The Human League will join previously announced Supergrass, Simple Minds and Rag’n’Bone Man for a Bedford Park summer takeover throughout July.
On Sunday, 13 July, McFly will celebrate their 21-year career by bringing their high-powered energy to Bedford Park. From their breakout hit, “Five Colours In Her Hair”, McFly evolved into one of the UK’s most successful acts.
The foursome enjoyed seven UK number-one singles, including “All About You” and “Star Girl,” alongside seven Top 10 albums and over 10 million sales, McFly have earned multiple Platinum certifications and a BRIT Award for Best British Pop.
Fresh from celebrating their 21st anniversary with two sold-out O2 Arena shows, McFly will deliver a set that reflects on their impressive career while showcasing tracks from their latest album, ‘Power to Play’.
Several decades earlier, The Human League formed in Sheffield, rising to worldwide fame with their 1981 debut album, Dare, becoming synth-pop’s first international superstars.
“Don’t You Want Me” topped both UK and US charts and in doing so, redefined electronic music and the soundtrack of the decade.
The band’s groundbreaking fusion of electronic rhythms and cutting-edge production continued to dominate the charts throughout the ’80s and ’90s with tracks like “Mirror Man,” “(Keep Feeling) Fascination,” “Electric Dreams” and “Human.”
They garnered a BRIT Award for Best British Breakthrough Act and continue to enjoy a career that has influenced generations of artists to solidify their status as pioneers of the synth-pop genre.
Joining them for this unmissable night are Tom Bailey, frontman of the Thompson Twins, delivering upbeat, nostalgic classics like “Hold Me Now” and “Doctor! Doctor!” and Blancmange, the acclaimed synth-pop duo behind hits like “Living On The Ceiling” and “Don’t Tell Me.”
Tickets go on general sale this Friday (6 December) at smmrsessions.com and ticketmaster.co.uk.
