A hugely successful solo career followed and has seen Ross win countless major awards including a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, a Golden Globe, a Tony and several American Music Awards.

Consistently fusing art, technology, fashion and a signature sense of style with their unique and infectious brand of music, singer Simon Le Bon, keyboardist Nick Rhodes, bassist John Taylor and drummer Roger Taylor have proven themselves timeless.

Lionel Richie’s Lytham show will now be replaced by Nile Rodgers & CHIC who sold out the 20,000 capacity event back in 2018.

And to make this one huge rock night to remember, The Strokes will be supported by Irish post punk band Fontaines DC.

The following night, Saturday July 9, will see timeless favourites Tears For Fears headline. The Brit Award winners have garnered international success and toured throughout the world delighting audiences with their iconic hits including Mad World, Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Head Over Heels. Critically acclaimed hitmaking singer-songwriter Alison Moyet is special guest, while Australian pop star Natalie Imbruglia will open the show.

British music icon Paul Weller will headline the final night of Lytham Festival 2022. As frontman of The Jam, the man behind The Style Council and a hugely successful solo artist, Weller is without doubt one of the UK’s most prolific and well-respected music artists. And he is now heading to Lytham Festival on Sunday 10th July where he will be joined by indie legends The Charlatans, indie pop band Lottery Winners and rising Welsh soul singer Nia Wyn.

Nile Rodgers NYE 2017-18 by Jill Furmanovsky

Blue eyes soul by Simply Red is the 12th album from Hucknall’s sleek multi million selling groove machine. And it is the rawest, funkiest, dirtiest, brassiest and most purely 100 percent soulful concoction of their stellar career .

From the dramatic burst of horns and percussion that introduces the swaggering funk of Thinking Of You to the dreamy strings and tender vocal sensual ballad Tonight, you know that its the good stuff.

Simply Red have sold over a billion hits on Youtube, they have sold over 60 million albums worldwide, 5 going to number one in the UK. Their 1991 classic stars with best selling was the best selling album for two years running in Britain and Europe. they have had two US billboard chart toppers with classic singles ‘holding back the years’ and ‘if you dot know me by now’.

Blue eyed soul is the sound of simply red firing on all cylinders. ”at this stage of my career, I could do one of these dark reflective albums looking back on my life and all that kind of stuff that people tend to do a certain age. But i thought sod that. i wanted to make something punchy. I want to have a good tome. I’m not saying its my last album, because ice got no thoughts of stopping. but when I go out, I want to go out with a bang”

A few bands make it in to their ninth studio album, and should they achieve that landmark even fewer find themselves at their strongest artistically and personally.

Elbow, a group now in their third decade of being together, will be playing at Lytham festival on Thursday 7th of July. They have been, and will always be, exclusively focused on the creation of music and lyrics that embody honestly, to both their artistic process and the lived realities on which it is based.

There could be little better example of the unique nature of elbow’s impact on music. A band that unashamedly reference progressive rock as one of their musical influences and are unafraid to tackle the intensely personal and the outwardly political in their lyrics, they have become a mainstream act beloved of the UK public without the usual marketing tricks and acquiescence to commercial concerns.

One of the most influential bands of the 21^st century, The Strokes Lytham Festival performance on Friday July 8 will be an exclusive North of England show. From the moment they released their critically acclaimed debut album Is This It in 2001 The Strokes were destined for huge international success and have gone on to earn a string of awards including a Grammy earlier this year for their most recent album The New Abnormal.
