Tickets for Lytham Festival go on general sale at 9am on Friday, October 30.
Kings of Leon, The Corrs, David Gray, Bastille, James Morrison and Emily Rhodes are all joining the bill of the Fylde coast’s largest live music festival.
It is announced today that Kings of Leon will headline the opening night of Lytham Festival on Wednesday, June 30 and will be joined on the night by special guests indie-pop greats Bastille.
Meanwhile the closing night of the festival on Sunday, July 4 will see global Celtic icons The Corrs making their Lytham Festival debut. They will be joined by multi-platinum selling artist David Gray and special guests singer-songwriter James Morrison and rising Lancashire artist Emily Rhodes.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday, October 30. PayPal customers can access the pre-sale from 9am Tuesday.
The announcement comes after global megastar Robbie Williams has already sold out the Saturday night for next year’s festival, while only final tickets remain for superstar DJ Fatboy Slim’s Friday night headlining show with special guest Becky Hill.
Details of who will be headlining on Thursday, July 1 will be revealed soon.
Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “Adding Kings of Leon plus The Corrs and David Gray as headliners to a bill that already includes Robbie Williams and Fatboy Slim, once again, makes our line up something that we hope appeals to as wide an audience as possible.
“2027 is on target to be a record-breaking year for Lytham Festival and we still have one more night to announce which I am confident will appeal to even more customers, as well as those who are already set to party with us next summer.”
Following the announcement of their 10th studio album O My Beloved, scheduled for release on November 6, Kings of Leon will headline the opening night of Lytham Festival.

The Lancashire date is one of just two northern UK shows for the band next summer, along with two sold out nights at London’s The O2 and a headline appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Kings of Leon’s rich tour history includes headlining the world’s biggest and most prestigious festivals, such as Glastonbury, Coachella, numerous Lollapalooza’s, and the UK's Reading and Leeds on three occasions, as well as a record equalling five nights at London’s massive Hyde Park.
Special guests on the night will be multi-platinum selling Bastille. Over the course of more than a decade, Bastille's distinctive sound and cinematic songwriting have connected with audiences across the globe like few other British bands in recent memory.
Their chart-topping, twice No.1 debut album Bad Blood features the era-defining hit Pompeii, which immediately positioned them as the year's biggest global breakthrough act. The band then won the British Breakthrough Act award at the BRITs and received two GRAMMY nominations. Bad Blood has since gone triple platinum.
Further No.1 albums followed with Wild World, Give Me The Future and Doom Days and the acclaimed documentary Bastille Re-Orchestrated. Their 2018 Happier collaboration with Marshmello was a chart-topping global smash and they have recently collaborated with multiple Academy Award and GRAMMY-winning composer Hans Zimmer on Pompeii MMXXIII, a powerful rework of their breakthrough hit that closed BBC's Planet Earth III.
With more than 13 million records sold, three UK No.1 albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than eight billion streams, Bastille remain one of the world's most streamed acts, and one of the most influential British bands of a generation.
Closing Lytham Festival 2027 will be Irish pop-rock legends The Corrs along with multi-platinum artist David Gray.

Ireland’s first family of music, The Corrs are a multi-million selling sibling quartet who have conquered the world with a seamless blend of sleek pop rock, lush harmonies and Celtic folk trimmings.
Comprising Andrea (lead vocals, piano, tin whistle), Sharon (violin, piano, vocals), Caroline (drums, piano, vocals) and Jim (guitar, keyboards, vocals), the band have sold more than 40 million albums since their debut Forgiven, Not Forgotten in 1995, followed in 1997 by UK Number 1 album Talk on Corners.
Breathless released in 2000 gave them their first UK Number 1, with accompanying album In Blue going straight to Number 1 in 17 countries.
The group returned to the stage in 2023, with sold out shows across Southeast Asia and Australia and have been on the road ever since, celebrating their back catalogue of hits and making a fresh commitment to writing new music.
David Gray has spent almost three decades crafting a signature sound that fuses acoustic warmth with electronic innovation. Best known for his landmark album White Ladder, he has produced timeless hits like Babylon, This Year’s Love, and Sail Away, solidifying his place as one of the most influential singer-songwriters of his generation. His work has earned him multiple BRIT Award nominations and a dedicated global fanbase.
Over the course of 13 albums, including critically acclaimed releases like A New Day at Midnight and Life in Slow Motion, Gray has consistently delivered emotionally charged performances and profound songwriting. His latest album, Dear Life, continues that legacy, exploring themes of love, mortality, and faith with the lyrical depth and musical sophistication that define his storied career. Gray remains a powerful voice in contemporary music, celebrated for his authenticity and artistry.
Ahead of The Corrs and David Gray the festival will welcome two special guests – You Give Me Something hitmaker James Morrison and singer-songwriter Emily Rhodes.
20 years into his career, James Morrison’s music still simmers with the soul, emotion and quiet authority that have defined one of the UK’s most enduring singer-songwriters.
Across that time, he has amassed two UK number 1 albums, five UK Top 10 singles, multiple Platinum-certified releases and a BRIT Awards win, alongside millions of global sales. Last autumn saw him achieve his highest chart position in 14 years with his seventh album, the Top 5 record Fight Another Day.
One of the UK’s most distinctive and respected artists, Morrison has earned a reputation as a highly regarded live performer, continuing to sell out tours and reaffirming his lasting connection with audiences.

Having only recently graduated from the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts, the Americana-inspired songwriter and performer hit the headlines at the end of summer after being invited by comedian Peter Kay to perform her new single live on stage at his sold-out show at London’s The O2.
