The full line up for a new festival in Lytham has been announced.

Tom Jones, UB40, Anne Marie and Jools Holland will be headlining the six day event called 'Wonderhall' - at Lytham Hall in August.

It's from the same organsiers as Lytham Fest which was cancelled due to the pandemic.

More than 30 artists will perform across the six-day festival which will be taking place at Lytham Hall between August 25th to August 30th.

Wonderhall will be kicking off with performances from Anne-Marie with support from HRVY, Gracey and Samantha Harvey.

On the Thursday, the likes of UB40, Radio Riddler and SKA FACE perform.

Welsh music legend Tom Jones will be gracing the stage on the Friday.

Saturday is party night - headlined by Marc Almond along with a string of popstars while Sunday is an entirely different vibe, with a headline concert from tenor Russell Watson, accompanied by The Heart of England Philharmonic Orchestra. The Lytham Community Choir will also be opening the picnic-proms concert.

Bringing the new festival to a close will be Jools Holland and his Rhythm & Blues Orchestra.

WonderHall director Peter Taylor said: “The line-up for WonderHall has been designed to ensure we appeal to as wide an audience as possible.

"We have a fantastic mix of artists across the six days from the world-famous legend that is Tom Jones to supporting the Lancashire music scene by having some local artists on the bill too.

“We absolutely cannot wait for the opening night of WonderHall to see people gathering to enjoy live music once again and to be doing that in the picturesque parkland of Lytham Hall will make this a really special event.”

Tickets are priced from £25 and go on sale at 5pm Thursday April 29 from www.wonderhall.co.uk

All money from ticket sales for the Last Night of the Proms event will be donated towards the restoration of Lytham Hall.
