TOBY LEE, the white-hot number-one selling blues artist in the U.K., will be joining blues veterans Dr Feelgood and Paul Jones at the Indigo at the O2 in London on February 23rd 2025 —for a star-studded superspectacular —to raise money and awareness for the Brain Tumour Charity.
We’ve described Toby’s pepper-hot guitaring as “ambitious and undefeated”, and his superb vocal as “compelling.”
Toby appeared on the BBC on this year’s New Years’ Hootenanny, hosted by Jools Holland, and was such a hit that his latest album House on Fire went straight to the top of the blues charts.
On his addition to the bill Toby said: “I am thrilled to be giving my support to such a worthwhile cause”.
Other acts appearing include The Cinneli Brothers, When Rivers Meet, Jo Harman, Mollie Marriott and festival founders The Milk Men.
Lockdown blues star Todd Sharpville and multi-talented Thomas Heppell have also been added to the bill.
Milkfest ’25 will be hosted by Blues rock band The Milk Men. British singer Jo Harman, will perform an exclusive tribute to the women of UK Blues. More guests are being lined up for this one-off blues extravaganza.
Adam Norsworthy, guitarist with The Milk Men and Milkfest’25 organiser, said: “We are so excited to have Toby join us on the Milkfest line up. Having done shows with him before we know only too well what a dynamic and exciting performer he is”.
Claire Howells from The Brain Tumour Charity, said: “Some incredible performers are throwing their musical weight behind Milkfest ’25 next February and we’re extremely grateful for their ongoing support.”
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of the under 40s and 12% of adults with high grade brain tumours live for five years post-diagnosis.
“Through the efforts of all those working towards Milkfest ‘25, we can change the landscape for everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis and bring hope to so many. A hueg thank you from all of us.”
“[This] will be a fantastic celebration of the UK blues scene.”
