The 2025 edition of Lytham Festival is officially underway. This year’s multi-day event in the pretty seaside town of Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, began on July 3 and will continue through to Sunday July 6 – and first headliner Stevie Wonder has already been and gone.
This year’s Lytham fest hasn’t quite gone as smoothly as previous years. First night headliners Kings of Leon pulled out of the fest back in May, with Lytham opting to cut down to a four-day event rather than replace them. Up to 25,000 are expected to attend each remaining night of the festival.
Alanis Morissette, Justin Timberlake and Simple Minds still set to headline the 2025 edition of Lytham Festival. Heading to Lancashire this weekend? Here’s everything you need to know about the fest, from timings to the weather forecast.
