What the organisers say

Lytham Festival co-founder, Peter Taylor, expressed enthusiasm for Morissette’s return:

“We are thrilled to be able to welcome Alanis Morissette back next summer. She is a cultural phenomenon and judging by the reaction to her shows in the UK this summer there is little doubt her arrival in Lytham will be a massive night.

“It’s not often possible to make these things happen due to an artist’s touring schedule but the stars have aligned so we are very excited.

“To have Skunk Anansie on the bill too only makes for what will be an incredible night of live music and powerful vocals.

“Alanis completes our lineup of headliners for 2026. It’s a very special year for us celebrating the 15th Lytham Festival and to have such international icons on the bill will make for a very memorable five days.”

The Headliners

The festival celebrates a diverse range of talents in 2026. Alanis Morissette, acclaimed for her debut album Jagged Little Pill, has dominated the music scene for decades, performing hits including Ironic, You Oughta Know and Hand in My Pocket. Her recent tours have seen sold-out venues worldwide.

Skunk Anansie’s dynamic combination of rock, punk, and funk, led by their charismatic frontwoman Skin, ensures an electrifying evening of live music. Their impactful performances include tracks such as Weak, Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good) and Charity.
