This weekend marks the second half of one of the North West's biggest outdoor music events—TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival 2026, celebrating its 15th anniversary on Lytham Green.
More than 100,000 fans are expected across the five nights on the banks of the Ribble Estuary, with three headline shows still to come.
The lineup this weekend
- Friday 3 July—Michael Bublé
The legendary Canadian crooner tops the bill on Friday night, joined by former Boyzone frontman Ronan Keating and pop duo Appleton, formerly of All Saints.
BBC Radio Lancashire breakfast presenter Graham Liver opens proceedings with a DJ set.
- Saturday 4 July—Pet Shop Boys
Synth-pop icons Pet Shop Boys headline Saturday—a homecoming of sorts for Chris Lowe, who originally hails from Blackpool.
They are joined by glam-pop favourites Scissor Sisters and Radio 1 DJ Dave Pearce's Dance Anthems set.
- Sunday 5 July—Pitbull
Sunday closes the festival with a distinctly American flavour as Pitbull becomes the first ever rap star to headline the event.
He is joined by rapper and record producer Lil Jon and Cuban-American DJ Laz.

Getting there
Organisers strongly recommend travelling by public transport.
Lytham railway station is a five-minute walk from the festival site, with increased rail capacity during the event and an additional late-night service on Sunday.
Coach travel is available from Blackburn, Bolton, Burnley, Chorley, Liverpool, Manchester, Warrington, Wigan and other locations across the North West.
A park and ride service operates from South Promenade Green in St Annes, around a 10-minute bus journey from the site.
If you are being dropped off, the dedicated point is Lowther Gardens, West Beach, which is also the designated taxi pick-up and drop-off zone.
Official festival car parking is available at Lytham Green (FY8 5LB) from 3pm daily, but a town-wide traffic order means on-street parking is for residents only.

The festival is entirely cashless, so bring a debit or credit card.
You cannot bring your own food, drink or chairs into the arena, and bags larger than an A4 sheet of paper are not permitted.
Banned items include umbrellas, glass, alcohol, perfume or aftershave, large cameras and recording equipment.
You are allowed one sealed water bottle of up to 500ml, plus one empty reusable bottle—free water refill stations are available on site.
