Simply Red and Elbow will headline the event on Lytham Green on July 6 and 7 respectively as part of a star-studded 10-night bill between June 28 and July 10 which also includes the likes of Diana Ross, Lionel Richie and Duran Duran.

The extended event, intended as a one-off over such a period, comes after the usual five-day Festival had to be cancelled for two years running because of the pandemic.

“They really put Lytham on the map and we hope people like what they see and want to come back and explore more.

“It’s great for business - anyone not getting direct benefit at concert time hopefully sees the results in the future from further visits which follow.”

Simply Red will be supported by Lisa Stansfield and Marisha Wallace, while Elbow will be joined on the bill by Richard Hawley.
