Elliot Minor are an English rock band formed in York in the mid-2000's. Known for blending orchestral elements with alternative rock and pop-punk, the band gained popularity with their debut single Parallel Worlds, which led to the success of their chart-topping self-titled debut album in 2008. Their follow-up album, Solaris (2009), showcased a darker, more mature sound but retained their signature classical-rock fusion. After hundreds of shows across the globe, including notable events such as headlining Apple Music Festival at KOKO, headlining stages across numerous worldwide festivals including Download, Leeds, Reading, Wireless, Tokyo's Summersonic and more, as well as international TV appearances and radio, Elliot Minor then went on hiatus in 2011, reuniting for a short string of special sold out performances in 2014. Now, over a decade later, Elliot Minor are returning to ignite that same flame.

Elliot Minor are Alex Davies, Ed Minton, Dan Hetherton, Ed Hetherton and Ali Paul.

Download Festival was an absolute tornado of fun 🌪

We've not seen that many faces staring back at us in a very very long time 🖤 Caught so many epic bands over the weekend too, and to share stages with them was an honor.

Big thanks to the Download team for calling us out the blue and getting us off our arses!

The original set list. Would you have changed anything?


Standing at about 5ft tall, this precious thing came everywhere with us for a week, it morphed over time, grew an appendage, was even used in York soundcheck, until FINALLY we found someone with a printer. Does anyone out there want it? A giant souvenir? Only if you promise to look after it…

This week has felt like one big euphoric dream 🖤 Thank you!

We thought we would be nervous, but when the time came to hit the stage, in cities we love, to packed rooms of supporters that we love just as much as they love us, it was nothing but adrenaline, fun and nostalgia (as well as some questionable stage chat).

Once In A Decade was bigger than we could ever have imagined 🤘🤘

Tag us in your snaps / vids. We want to see EVERYTHING! We’ll be sharing more soon.

📸 Big thanks to Nic O'Connell for capturing the moment at KOKO London.

We also had a trip down nostalgia lane as we uncovered some fairly vintage items from over a decade ago, also now on our store. Once it's gone, it's gone! 🥹
