Blyth Live Music Festival Announces D:Ream as 2026 Headliners
Blyth Live Music Festival is delighted to announce iconic 90’s pop and dance group D:Ream as the headline act for Blyth Live 2026, taking place on Saturday 20th June.
D:Ream rose to prominence in the 1990s and achieved a UK No.1 hit with the anthemic “Things Can Only Get Better” in 1994. The band went on to enjoy eight further UK Top 40 hits, including “U R the Best Thing”, “Take Me Away” and “Shoot Me with Your Love”. Their two studio albums released during the decade both reached the UK Top Five, cementing their place as one of the era’s most recognisable acts.
Alongside an exciting live music programme, Blyth Live Festival will once again offer a full day of family-friendly entertainment. Families can enjoy community and craft stalls showcasing local talent and creativity, a wide variety of food concessions, vibrant street theatre performances, and a fun fair.
Mayor of Blyth Town Council, David Swinhoe, said:
“We’re thrilled to welcome this iconic band from the 90’s to Blyth Live 2026. Their music has truly stood the test of time, and we know their performance will get everyone dancing. This free festival is a fantastic way to bring our community together and celebrate everything that makes Blyth special. Things are already getting better with this announcement,” he said.
More acts will be announced soon.
