Indie poppers Pale Waves and Mercury-nominated The Big Moon will support singer songwriter Alanis Morrissette. Meanwhile, Cuban-American rap star DJ Laz will open proceedings for rapper Pitbull.
Guitar led Pale Waves are fronted by Preston’s Heather Baron-Gracie. They emerged in 2018 with 80s influenced debut album My Mind Makes Noises and scored a hit with 2024's Smitten.
Across 500-plus shows, the band has built a fierce international audience, from festival main stages including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Reading and Leeds, to multiple headline runs in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia.
Already this year, they have opened for Louis Tomlinson on his 26-date arena tour and have been announced for Yungblud’s Bludfest 2026 in Czechia.
Big Moon formed in 2014 by lead singer Juliette Jackson, guitarist Soph Nathan, bassist Celia Archer and drummer Fern Ford, The Big Moon are one of the UK’s most widely respected and original bands, and previously performed at Lytham Festival in 2023 supporting George Ezra.
Rapper and radio personality DJ Laz, aka Lazaro Mendez, is a pioneer of Latin bass music, gaining acclaim as a teenager in the 80s and 90s.
The Lytham Festival date is one of just seven shows Morissette is playing in the UK this year and comes on the heels of her most acclaimed UK shows ever last summer, with a sold-out night at the O2 Arena and a career-defining set at her first ever Glastonbury appearance.
Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: "What a line-up. We have an incredible bill of global icons performing across the five days and we can't wait for it to start now.
"Adding such strong artists as Pale Waves and The Big Moon to Alanis Morissette's show is going to make this an even more incredible night, and then having a DJ as celebrated as Laz open the show for Pitbull will be phenomenal.
"Lytham Festival 2026 promises to be our biggest to date."
