Lytham Festival 2027
Wednesday 30 June to Sunday 4 July 2027
Lytham Festival has grown from a one-night-only community Proms-style concert to a spectacular five-day live music event which now attracts around 100,000 people each summer.
Staged on the banks of Lancashire’s stunning Ribble Estuary, the festival was the brainchild of friends Daniel Cuffe and Peter Taylor.
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 travelling from all four corners of the UK as well as from overseas to witness and take part in this festival.
In 2010 just 4,500 local people came to what was then Lytham Proms to watch soprano Lesley Garrett perform.
A year later Lytham Proms grew into a three-day event with headliners Status Quo and Boyzone as well as a traditional proms concert headlined by Katherine Jenkins.
As the Proms gained increasing popularity, in 2015 it became a four-day event and was rebranded Lytham Festival.
And 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.
2022 saw ten nights of live music light up Lytham Green. This tranquil beauty spot is normally reserved for dog walkers, kite flyers and family picnics but 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 each night.
2023 saw the likes of Lionel Richie, Sting, Blondie, Def Leppard, Motley Crue, George Ezra and more entertain the crowds on Lytham Green in five packed out nights.
2024 saw the TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival with the return of Madness, Shania Twain, Rag ‘N Bone Man, The Courteeners, Hozier, James and many, many more with great support acts including Rick Astley, Johnny Marr, the Lightning Seeds to name but a few. In 2025 the town welcomed Stevie Wonder, Justin Timberlake, Simple Minds, Texas and a long list of support artistes. 2026 welcomed Pitbull, Pet Shop Boys, Michael Buble and many more…

Kings of Leon – Wednesday 30th June
Kings of Leon will headline the opening night of Lytham Festival.
The Lancashire date is one of just two northern UK shows for the band next summer, along with two sold out nights at London’s The O2 and a headline appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival. Kings of Leon’s rich tour history includes headlining the world’s biggest and most prestigious festivals, such as Glastonbury, Coachella, numerous Lollapalooza’s, and the UK’s Reading and Leeds on three occasions, as well as a record equalling five nights at London’s massive Hyde Park.
Special guests on the night will be multi-platinum selling Bastille. Over the course of more than a decade, Bastille’s distinctive sound and cinematic song writing have connected with audiences across the globe like few other British bands in recent memory.
Their chart-topping, twice No.1 debut album Bad Blood features the era-defining hit Pompeii, which immediately positioned them as the year’s biggest global breakthrough act. The band then won the British Breakthrough Act award at the BRITs and received two GRAMMY nominations. Bad Blood has since gone triple platinum. Further No.1 albums followed with Wild World, Give Me The Future and Doom Days and the acclaimed documentary Bastille Re-Orchestrated. Their 2018 Happier collaboration with Marshmello was a chart-topping global smash and they have recently collaborated with multiple Academy Award and GRAMMY-winning composer Hans Zimmer on Pompeii MMXXIII, a powerful rework of their breakthrough hit that closed BBC’s Planet Earth III.
With more than 13 million records sold, three UK No.1 albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than eight billion streams, Bastille remain one of the world’s most streamed acts, and one of the most influential British bands of a generation.

The Corrs – Sunday 4th July
Closing Lytham Festival 2027 will be Irish pop-rock legends The Corrs along with multi-platinum artist David Gray.
Ireland’s first family of music, The Corrs are a multi-million selling sibling quartet who have conquered the world with a seamless blend of sleek pop rock, lush harmonies and Celtic folk trimmings. Comprising Andrea (lead vocals, piano, tin whistle), Sharon (violin, piano, vocals), Caroline (drums, piano, vocals) and Jim (guitar, keyboards, vocals), the band have sold more than 40 million albums since their debut Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995, followed in 1997 by UK Number 1 album Talk on Corners. Breathless released in 2000 gave them their first UK Number 1, with accompanying album In Blue going straight to Number 1 in 17 countries. The group returned to the stage in 2023, with sold out shows across Southeast Asia and Australia and have been on the road ever since, celebrating their back catalogue of hits and making a fresh commitment to writing new music.
David Gray has spent almost three decades crafting a signature sound that fuses acoustic warmth with electronic innovation. Best known for his landmark album White Ladder, he has produced timeless hits like Babylon, This Year’s Love, and Sail Away, solidifying his place as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of his generation. His work has earned him multiple BRIT Award nominations and a dedicated global fanbase. Over the course of 13 albums, including critically acclaimed releases like A New Day at Midnight and Life in Slow Motion, Gray has consistently delivered emotionally charged performances and profound song writing. His latest album, Dear Life, continues that legacy, exploring themes of love, mortality, and faith with the lyrical depth and musical sophistication that define his storied career. Gray remains a powerful voice in contemporary music, celebrated for his authenticity and artistry.
Ahead of The Corrs and David Gray the festival will welcome two special guests – You Give Me Something hitmaker James Morrison and singer-songwriter Emily Rhodes.
20 years into his career, James Morrison’s music still simmers with the soul, emotion and quiet authority that have defined one of the UK’s most enduring singer-songwriters. Across that time, he has amassed two UK number 1 albums, five UK Top 10 singles, multiple Platinum-certified releases and a BRIT Awards win, alongside millions of global sales. Last autumn saw him achieve his highest chart position in 14 years with his seventh album, the Top 5 record Fight Another Day. One of the UK’s most distinctive and respected artists, Morrison has earned a reputation as a highly regarded live performer, continuing to sell out tours and reaffirming his lasting connection with audiences.
Meanwhile, Lancashire-based Emily Rhodes returns to Lytham after first performing on the festival’s BBC Introducing stage in 2019. Having only recently graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, the Americana-inspired songwriter and performer hit the headlines at the end of summer after being invited by comedian Peter Kay to perform her new single live on stage at his sold-out show at London’s The O2.
Doors open 4pm.
