Founded in 2010 by partners Daniel Cuffe and Peter Taylor<\/strong><\/a>, the Lytham Festival started as a one-night-only community Proms-style concert and has since grown to a five-day live music event which now attracts fans in excess of 100,000 each summer. But its roots stretch back even further. The initial iteration of the festival was actually held in June 1982, a much smaller more low-key event. Fast forward to today, and with thanks to Cuffe & Taylor, the festival has evolved into a major annual event, drawing over 70,000 attendees and featuring international stars like Rod Stewart, Kylie Minogue, Tom Jones, and Madness.<\/p>\n

TK Maxx joins Cuffe & Taylor to present the next Lytham Festival.\u00a0Headliners have varied massively over the years ranging from the likes of Lionel Richie, Sting, Billy Ocean, Diana Ross, Duran Duran, Kylie, Lewis Capaldi, Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds, Nile Rodgers & CHIC, Madness, Rod Stewart, Stereophonics, The Strokes, Tom Jones and so many more.\u00a02025 will see five nights of live music light up Lytham Green once again. This tranquil beauty spot is normally reserved for dog walkers, kite flyers and family picnics but for one week each summer it is transformed into a buzzing live music hub as artists from across the globe perform to crowds of up to 25,000 people a night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
