Lytham Festival has come a long way since its early days as a small charity event in 2009.
What started as a single night of live music with a handful of picnic blankets on Lytham Green has grown into one of the UK’s most popular music festivals, drawing thousands of visitors to the Fylde Coast each summer.
Over the years, it has played host to some of the biggest names in the industry, from Kylie Minogue and Rod Stewart to The Strokes and Jamiroquai, cementing its reputation as a major date in the festival calendar.
But Lytham Festival is about more than just music. It has always been deeply rooted in the local community, supporting businesses, hospitality venues, and cultural initiatives that make the Fylde Coast such a special place. As one of the sponsors of Blackpool Restaurant Week, the festival is once again championing the area by helping to showcase the town’s brilliant food scene. From independent bistros to family-run favourites, Blackpool’s restaurants offer something for everyone, and this partnership ensures even more people get the chance to discover them.
This summer, the festival is set to be bigger than ever when it returns to Lytham Green from Wednesday, July 2, to Sunday, July 6, 2025. Music fans can look forward to a stellar lineup that includes Kings of Leon opening the festival, Alanis Morissette taking the stage on Friday, and Justin Timberlake bringing his world-renowned performance to Lytham on Saturday. The final night will see Simple Minds and Texas closing out the event in style, with one more headliner still to be announced for Thursday. As always, the festival will welcome thousands of fans from across the UK, creating a massive boost for local hotels, restaurants, and businesses throughout the region.
So, when you enjoy a meal during Blackpool Restaurant Week, let people know about Lytham Festival’s commitment to the area. It is a celebration of live music, local culture, and community spirit, and its impact extends far beyond the festival stage.
