Lytham Festival, the UK's unlikely superstar music festival

When we think of the UK festivals that attract the global superstars, we think of Glastonbury and Reading. We think of venues like Wembley. We don't think of a relatively low-key event in Lancashire. However, the Lytham Festival has over a decade's pedigree in hosting some of the biggest stars on the planet, along with a dedicated traditional and classical music night. Buy or sell Lytham Festival tickets on StubHub and discover the Red Rose county's best-kept musical secret.

From Kylie to Rod Steward, they've all played here

Lytham Festival is smaller than the really major festivals, but what it lacks in size, it makes up for in glittering star power – and then some. On the bill over the years have been without doubt the most iconic performers and recording artists in history, among them Kylie Minogue and Rod Steward. At the same time, it has built up a reputation for honouring the past by creating spaces that recreate and commemorate some of the great eras in British music history. In 2017, for example, they held a Hacienda Classical night, featuring Manchester tribute artists showcasing some of the seminal music from that unforgettable club that steered the course of UK musical history for almost 20 years, from Joy Division to the crazy Madchester days. Side events like these are what set the Lytham Festival apart and have earned it a special place in the hearts of not only pop fans, but also those who have more alternative tastes in music and culture. Lytham Festival tickets offer all of this – and an entirely different type of musical culture too...

The West End Proms have also left their mark

Lytham Festival tickets also offer the chance to watch musical theatre and opera. Regulars every year at the Lytham Festival have been the celebrated West End Proms. They have traditionally provided an entire evening dedicated to musicals and opera, where audiences have watched a magical assortment of hits from some of the biggest musicals ever, like Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserables and Miss Saigon. English National Opera stars have also made regular appearances at the festival, which has been held every year at the Main Proms Arena on Lytham Green. More youthful pop hitmakers have played their part in the event's long and proud history too – the likes of multi-platinum selling sensation, Olly Murs, for instance. And who can forget the '80s events that happen every year – where else could you expect to find The Human League sharing the bill with Technotronic and Betty Boo? All of this makes the prospect of Lytham Festival tickets entirely delicious, so have a look on StubHub for when they're available. You never know which amazing artist you'll get to see live on stage.
