What started out as two local lads having an idea for a one-night event for Leafy Lytham is now a huge event on the national music calendar, with fans traveling from all four corners of the UK as well as from overseas to witness and take part in this festival.

 

Since 2015 Lytham Festival has been a five-day event.

Headliners have varied massively over the years ranging from the likes of Billy Ocean, Tom Jones, Faithless and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds to Bryan Adams, Hacienda Classical, Nile Rodgers and CHIC and Madness.

 

Alongside those headliners have been spectacular picnic Proms-style concerts attracting classical and musical theatre royalty including Lea Salonga, Ramin Karimloo, Michael Ball, Sheridan Smith, Alfie Boe, Collabro and Jodie Prenger.

 

2019 marked the 10th anniversary with headline shows from Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue and Stereophonics.

 

And as Lytham Festival prepares to enter a new decade, 2020 will see five nights of live music light up Lytham Green once again. This tranquil beauty spot is normally reserved for dog walkers, kite flyers and family picnics but for one week each summer it is transformed into a buzzing live music hub as artists from across the globe perform to crowds of up to 20,000 people a night.
