In an exciting initiative to honour the legacy of British Blues and generate funds for charitable causes, some of the best-known figures in the UK blues community are collaborating on a unique one-day festival brought together by THE MILK MEN, a band renowned across the nation for their exhilarating live shows and contemporary, clenched ‘n’ sinewy interpretations of classic blues-rock.
MILKFEST is to be held on Sunday, February 23, 2025 at Indigo at The O2, London, and will feature celebrated artists such as Dr. Feelgood, Paul Jones, Mollie Marriott, and numerous other UK blues performers, raising money for the Brain Tumour Charity.
Legend Paul Jones of Manfred Mann will perform and compere.
We want to celebrate the music in all its different forms by bringing together some of the best acts we have seen and played with over the years…

RAW RAMP faves When Rivers Meet and the Cinelli Brothers are also scheduled to perform. The Festival will also boast Jo Harman who will provide a special tribute to the ladies of UK blues (and soul, and more). There will be more names added to the bill, along with surprise guests.
Milkfest will run from 3pm to 11pm, with a special readmission policy allowing ticketholders to pass in and out of the venue leaving them free to enjoy the O2’s restaurants, bars and shops throughout the day.
Milk Men guitarist and event organiser Adam Norsworthy said “The British Blues scene is very healthy and vibrant at the moment.
We want to celebrate the music in all its different forms by bringing together some of the best acts we have seen and played with over the years. Brain Tumour funding is criminally low for a disease which is tragically taking more lives – many of them under 40. We are keen to raise awareness of this issue at the same time as celebrating this wonderful music”.
Richard Dunning from the UK Blues Federation said: “Once again the UK blues community comes together to show their commitment to doing good. The UK Blues Federation are delighted to be involved in this event and for such a worthy cause.”
