Lytham Festival 2024

[NorthernSoul52]

That's another year in the rearviewmirror then, and five-day passes are available on a limited basis for next year already.

Seems to have been a bit of trumpeting that Sting and the Motley Crue/Def Leppard show were among their biggest ever, which bodes well for potential acts next year at least.

If they are still on the reunion trail (which seems unlikely), I'll throw Pulp in as an option to start the ball rolling.

Only been once for The Strokes and it’s a decent venue. Imagine you’ll see something like Noel, The Who, Pet Shop Boys, Take That.

Florence could be an outside bet for a northern date. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Off to see The Who in Hull this week, and had just been thinking it was bang on the kind of festival date they might play. Bookers tend to also handle Scarborough Open Air Theatre and Piece Hall in Halifax too - kind of a Northern Powerhouse trilogy.

When to expect some news? 

[DDave]

My guesses - Muse, Macca, Pink, Chemical Bros + a either a pop/80s day (Pet Shop Boys?)

How big of a budget do you think they have?!

Muse, Chems and PSB are definitely possible. Yeah, maybe Macca and Pink are a stretch but you never know 🙂

Would have thought a possibility of Elbow given recent tour news

[Neil]

if Madge is on a live nation exclusive (i saw someone had posted that). this is the festival i'd expect them to use that exclusivity at.

Doubt it due to other date sales - Manchester still not even close to sold out

You never know. They were great at Scarborough last year, and have just released their first European festival date for next year.

[Nice to Michu]

When looking at Green Day dates on Ticketmaster, Lytham Fest comes up to purchase tickets?

[NorthernSoul52]

That will be because of the search terms. Green will correspond for Lytham Green, the venue itself - and Day presumably for a five-day pass to the whole shebang.

Would love to see Neil Young. He is going on tour again next summer..

[Sparticus]

Does anyone think the national or kings of Leon are in with a shout? Both playing the UK in July.

„renewable fuel for our buses and trucks“

Doubt those busses would be able to drive on water over the Atlantic ocean. Unfortunately.

[NorthernSoul52]

Neil Young did play a billionaire's party the other week, mind you, so he might have some change to build a road to Blighty.

He actually would fit the bill in line with a Motley Crue/Def Leppard-esque booking though, particularly if he was to do BST too.

Nobody had the Courteeners down for this. Sure it’ll sell well.

Pink playing Anfield (twice). Think we can rule her out 😄
