About

Big Country is one of Scotlandโ€™s most iconic rock bands, known for their unique fusion of post-punk, new wave, and Scottish folk influences. From their breakthrough in the 1980s to the present day, Big Country continues to captivate audiences with their anthemic sound and repertoire of memorable hits.

Formed in 1981 in Dunfermline, Scotland, Big Countryโ€™s distinctive blend of rock and Celtic influences quickly set them apart from their contemporaries. Their 1983 debut album, 'The Crossing', introduced hit singles like "In a Big Country" and "Fields of Fire," which became well known around the world. These tracks established Big Country as one of the most original and exciting bands of the era.

The band followed up with 'Steeltown' (1984) and 'The Seer' (1986), further solidifying their place in music history. With Stuart Adamsonโ€™s powerful vocals and signature guitar work, Big Country continued to build a loyal fanbase, delivering songs that combined personal emotion with universal appeal. Known for their iconic Scottish folk instrument inspired guitar sound, Big Country are instantly recognisable throughout the world by legions of fans.

After the passing of Stuart Adamson in 2001, Big Country made the decision to carry on his musical legacy both touring and releasing new music after their reformation in 2007. While the loss of their frontman was significant, the band remained committed to honoring his vision and continuing the Big Country journey, keeping their music alive for a new generation of fans.

Big Country's current lineup reflects a dynamic mix of long-time members and new talent. The band consists of Tommy Paxton (lead vocals, lead guitar), Bruce Watson (guitar, backing vocals), Chris Stone (bass), Reece Dobbin (drums), and Jamie Watson (guitar, backing vocals). Together, they continue to evolve Big Countryโ€™s sound while staying true to the essence of the band's legacy.

With their revitalised lineup and creative drive, Big Country are poised to continue their musical journey. Their legacy is built on resilience, passion, and a commitment to creating music that resonates deeply with fans young and old alike. The band toured through 2024 to celebrate โ€˜40 years of Steeltownโ€™.

  • A fantastic evening

    by Killray on 29/11/2024O2 Shepherds Bush Empire - LondonRating: 5 out of 5

    What fantastic evening, this is not the first time seeing this band and hopefully not my last, I was a bit sceptical about seeing them this time as I had heard of band members changes, but straight from the start wow, to say I was impressed is a understatement, I also like the Venue, which I find to be just the right size, plus the staff are friendly and helpful, so if get a chance to see this band do it
