New Act announced for Melton Pop Festival: Glenn Owen as Bruno Mars

The countdown to Melton’s biggest pop celebration is officially on, and the excitement just got dialled up another notch! Organisers of the Melton Pop Festival are thrilled to announce a spectacular new addition to the headline line-up: Glenn Owen as Bruno Mars.

Taking place on Saturday 21st June 2025 at Play Close Park, the festival promises an unforgettable evening of live music, family fun, and bubble-filled entertainment, all within walking distance for most local residents.

Fresh off the back of announcing top-tier tribute acts to Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, and Billie Eilish, the Town Estate has confirmed that the one and only Glenn Owen as Bruno Mars will now also take to the stage. With over a decade of experience and international acclaim, Glenn brings all the energy, charisma, and vocal brilliance of the Grammy-winning superstar. Expect to hear chart-toppers like Uptown Funk, 24K Magic, and Just The Way You Are, in a performance that mirrors the real thing down to the last detail.

“Glenn Owen’s tribute to Bruno Mars is nothing short of electric,” said Dean Rees, CEO of Melton Mowbray Town Estate. “We’re so excited to bring such a high-quality act to Play Close – it’s going to be a night to remember!”

The Melton Pop Festival is designed with young families in mind. Alongside the music, festivalgoers can enjoy inflatables, soft play, fairground rides, roaming performers, face painting, shopping stalls, and a variety of street food and drink vendors. The event also features a giant bubble theme, with roaming bubble artists and machines turning the park into a whimsical wonderland. Doors will open at 12.00 noon.
