Plans already underway for next year's Lytham Festival
More than 100,000 people attended this year's event
As Manchester legends James brought Lytham Festival to a close last night, organisers tell us plans are already underway for next year.
Hozier, Shania Twain, Courteeners and Madness all headlined on successive nights ahead of James with more than 100,000 people attending the festival, with organisers saying the event was their most successful to date.
A headlining set from Manchester rock outfit Courteeners marked the festival’s largest ever crowd with 25,000 people. On Saturday, a choir of 20,000 voices joined Lightning Seeds in singing their iconic Three Lions before watching England’s Euro quarter final victory on a huge 15m by 10m LED screen.
Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “What a week! Every year we endeavour to bring the very best possible Lytham Festival to Lancashire and this week we have done just that.
“We’ve had huge international artists performing on our stage, we’ve welcomed more than 100,000 people to our hometown of Lytham and we’ve made headlines across the globe. Added to that is the fact we celebrated England’s quarter-final victory with 20,000 fans. It’s been an incredible week and we can’t wait to do it all over again next year."
Lytham Festival 2025 will return Wednesday 2 to Sunday 6 July.
