British rock band ELLIOT MINOR first burst onto the scene independently in 2007 with debut single ‘Parallel Worlds’, combining classical influences with a distinctive blend of orchestral rock, alternative and pop-punk. The track reached #1 on the UK Independent Singles Chart and became the first of four UK Top 40 singles, leading to a deal with Warner Music, and their self-titled debut album, which reached #6 in the UK Albums Chart in 2008. Follow-up Solaris (2009) took their signature sound into darker, more mature territory. After hundreds of shows around the world — including Reading & Leeds, Download, Wireless and Tokyo’s Summer Sonic, alongside tours with Fall Out Boy and Simple Plan — Elliot Minor went on hiatus in 2011, briefly returning for a run of special sold-out shows in 2014. More than a decade later, ELLIOT MINOR made an unexpected return in 2025. Their sold-out ‘Once In A Decade’ comeback tour was followed by ‘How Does It Feel’, their first new music in over a decade, before an invitation from Download Festival brought them back to Donington, performing second from headline on the Avalanche Stage. Now with their catalogue back under their own control, new music in the works and 20 years approaching since their breakthrough, ELLIOT MINOR return in 2027 for their biggest headline tour since reforming, joined by special guests Madina Lake and The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus for a celebration two decades in the making.
Elliot Minor plays an energetic blend of pop-punk and alternative rock enriched with complex classical string and choral arrangements.
