Festival goers will remember last year’s unforgettable headline set in Blyth, when the Rollers were midway through their iconic hit “Bye Bye Baby” as an unexpected thunderstorm swept across the site. With safety the top priority, organisers made the difficult decision to cut power to the stage, bringing the show to an abrupt but memorable end.

Despite the sudden stop, the atmosphere remained electric, with fans singing along in the rain, a moment many described as one of the most unique live music experiences the festival has ever seen.

Now, in a gesture that reflects both their dedication to fans and their enduring love of live performance, the Bay City Rollers have confirmed they will return to Blyth Live this year to complete their set properly.

This year’s festival will take place on Saturday June 20th, and is free to attend, continuing its commitment to accessible live music for the whole community. Organised and delivered by Blyth Town Council, the event has become a standout date in the North East calendar.

Organisers have also confirmed that D-Ream will headline the festival, promising a huge finale packed with iconic dance anthems.

Julie Summers from Blyth Town Council said:

"Last year was one of those moments no one will ever forget ,the crowd, the storm, and the spirit of live music all coming together. We’re absolutely thrilled that the Bay City Rollers are coming back to give Blyth the ending it deserves."

The band’s return promises to be one of the highlights of this year’s festival, offering fans another chance to experience their timeless hits, hopefully under clearer skies.

Blyth Live continues to establish itself as one of the North East’s most exciting music events, and this year’s festival is shaping up to be bigger and better than ever.
