What's on at Lytham Festival? The full line-up from Lewis Capaldi to Snow Patrol
The Fylde coast’s biggest music festival returns this month with 10 days of rock, pop and soul, as the tranquil Lytham Green is transformed into an electrifying stage with lights, smoke and fireworks.
Over the years, Lytham Festival has grown from a one-night-only community concert to a spectacular live music event which attracts more than 70,000 people each summer.
Here is the full line-up for 2022 – and how you can buy tickets before the big event.
