Bedford’s brightest star returns to his roots for TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions 2026

Tom Grennan is coming home. The Bedford-born artist, now one of the UK’s most exciting and successful musicians, has today been announced as a headliner for TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions 2026. He will take to the stage at Bedford Park on Saturday 4th July 2026, in a show that promises to be a huge moment for the town and a full-circle celebration of just how far he has come.

This will be Tom’s second time headlining Bedford Park, following a standout show in 2022 which, at the time, was the biggest solo performance of his career. Since then, his rise has been nothing short of remarkable. The announcement follows a period of immense success for the platinum-selling artist, who celebrated landing his third consecutive UK No. 1 album in August with the release of ‘Everywhere I Went Led Me To Where I Didn't Want To Be’. His unstoppable ascent has seen him sell over 120,000 tickets in the last 12 months including his recent sold-out Grennan '25 arena tour.

Through it all, Bedford has remained Tom’s home. It’s where he grew up, and where the people have watched his career grow with pride. Now, he’s coming back for what’s set to be one of the biggest nights in the town’s cultural calendar - a celebration the whole community is ready to get behind.
Speaking about the announcement, Mark Harrison, Promoter of TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions, said:
“We’re delighted to bring Tom Grennan back to Bedford Park for what promises to be a night to remember. We know his fans come from all across the UK, not just Bedford and to see him perform on his home turf makes it an even more special moment for everyone to witness and be part of. TK Maxx presents Bedford Summer Sessions is all about celebrating great live music in a unique setting, and this show will be one of the highlights of the 2026 series. I know the whole town will be buzzing and ready to come together for this incredible homegrown talent.”

Known for its independent spirit and creative energy, Bedford has a proud history of nurturing talent. Tom Grennan’s journey shows how someone from this small town can rise to conquer the UK music scene. The show is expected to draw thousands, bringing together fans of all ages for a hometown celebration - Bedford is ready to party with him and celebrate his success.
