Dirty Blonde
Manchester female indie-rock two piece
Dirty Blonde are a Manchester-based female indie-rock two-piece making waves across the UK’s vibrant live music scene. Renowned for their raw, dynamic sound and infectious hooks, they have captured the attention of discerning audiences and industry tastemakers alike. Their catalogue features standout tracks such as “Adore Me?”, “Northern Twang,” and “Polly”, displaying both melodic finesse and a spirited northern edge.
In February 2026, Dirty Blonde headlined The Deaf Institute in Manchester, marking a significant milestone and affirming their presence as a must-see act. They have also brought their high-energy set to renowned stages as a support act, appearing at events like The Gathering Sounds in Stockton-on-Tees where they played alongside headliner Somebody’s Child, and at the Golden Touch showcase at The Wedgewood Rooms, supporting The Clause. These performances underline their reputation for delivering captivating gigs and further expanding their fanbase among lovers of indie and alternative concerts.
Dirty Blonde continue to build momentum with each new release—their EP “Looking for Trouble” landed in April 2025, following a string of singles including “Rush” and “Northern Twang.” Their upward trajectory is set to continue into April 2026, when they will appear on the lineup for “this feeling by the sea” at Bridlington Spa, joining a diverse roster with The Lilacs at the top of the bill. Stay tuned and follow Dirty Blonde to keep in step with their latest gigs, tour dates, and fresh indie-rock releases.
