Colonel Mustard & the Dijon 5 are a Scottish alternative/comedy/dance/rock group based in Glasgow.[1]

The band consists of Colonel John Thomas McMustard and 9 other members.[2] The Band motto is "expect the unexpected"[3]

The band is associated with "The Yellow Movement," described as “a creative movement to affect positive change and spread happiness and joy, all while wearing yellow, the colour of sunshine.”[4] The band headlined the March into Pitlochry Festival in 2016,[5] and along with seven other bands took the 'Yellow Movement'[6] to the Zandari Festa festival in Seoul, South Korea in October 2017[7] and the DMZ Peace Train Music Festival below the border of North Korea in late June 2018.[8]

The band's diverse musical influences are brought together to produce their unique sound:

“We love so many different genres as a band so it is about pulling from different areas and trying to create our own melting pot. We try to make people who come along to see us feel part of the band – we want to make music that will get the crowd involved in whatever song it may be.”[9]
