Mr Tea and The Minions
Thursday Funkytown Stage
Wed 6th – Sun 10th August 2025
Eastnor Castle, Herefordshire

Drawing on a huge range of influences, from Balkan, Folk and Ska to Rock, Metal and Dub (plus plenty in between), festival favourites Mr Tea and the Minions create incredibly energetic, original music to make you literally dance your socks off!
Led by Elle’s powerful vocals and Lucy’s vibrant folk fiddle, the band are releasing 3 brand new songs that are among their strongest to date and have been going down a storm at their extravagantly colourful, theatrical live performances.
The band treat the audience as co-conspirators and every show is about collectively having the best time possible, with MTATM contributing incredible amounts of energy, dancing wildly and most importantly having amazing fun doing it!
With well over 100 UK festival appearances including Glastonbury, Boomtown, WOMAD, Beautiful Days, Secret Garden Party, Belladrum, Nozstock, Northside (Denmark) and Goulash (Croatia) to name just a few, Mr Tea and the Minions always play (in the words of The Independent) “a bouncing set – it’s impossible not to get involved.”
