Current touring band Big Country to change name to Big Country Redux

Big Country’s co-founder and longest-serving band member, Bruce Watson, has announced that as of 1st January 2026 the band will move forward under the name "Big Country Redux".

2026 marks the 25th anniversary of the passing of songwriter, frontman, and co-founder Stuart Adamson, the launch of a new website devoted to Adamson, and the forthcoming publication of the authorised biography, Stay Alive. A Stuart Adamson documentary is also in production.

For Bruce, it felt like the right moment to clearly define his musical future.

“Stuart’s words, music, and presence were at the very heart of Big Country. Without him, it can never truly be what it once was. Big Country Redux allows us to acknowledge that, while still performing the music we created as Big Country. It brings clarity, draws a line under recent uncertainty, and it is the right thing to do at this stage.”

The name Redux, meaning “revived/restored,” reflects the music and its enduring impact. An upcoming album including songs written by Stuart, and Stuart co-writes with Bruce and Tony will be released under the same name. ... See MoreSee Less
