In 2027, Lytham Green will once again be transformed into one of the UK's most spectacular outdoor music arenas. For most of the year, this beautiful stretch of coastline is a peaceful haven for walkers, families and visitors taking in the fresh sea air and breathtaking sunsets. But for one incredible week each summer, it becomes the beating heart of live music, as global superstars perform to crowds of up to 25,000 people a night.
With spectacular production, an unbeatable seaside setting and an atmosphere unlike anywhere else, Lytham Festival delivers unforgettable nights under the open sky. It's where legendary artists, future icons and thousands of music fans come together to celebrate the soundtrack of the summer.
