McBusted have been confirmed as the Saturday main stage headliner for Lytham Festival, taking place 2^nd – 9^th August across Lytham. Additionally, Rae Morris, Rebecca Ferguson, Scouting For Girls and Tenors Of Rock are to headline an all-new stage, the Pavilion, set to host gigs every night in the festival’s biggest year to date. Tickets for the McBusted event will go on sale 9am Tuesday 7th April. 

To launch the event on Sunday 2nd August Lytham Festival is very proud to present a headline show from Rae Morris at the Pavilion.

Ahead of her show Rae Morris comments: “My nana lives in Lytham so I spent a lot of time there as a child. It has a very dear place in my heart and the music events are always very special. I'm so happy to be involved.”

Tuesday 4^th August is to feature another soulstress in the form of X Factor runner-up Rebecca Ferguson. The critically-acclaimed singer provides a touch of jazz for the festival as she performs tracks from her record ‘Lady Sings The Blues’, a tribute album to Billie Holiday released in the year that would have seen her 100^th Birthday.

Also to crown the Pavilion stage during Lytham Festival are pop-rock trio Scouting For Girls on Wednesday 5^th August. Five powerful male vocalists otherwise known as Tenors Of Rock will take to the stage on Monday 3^rd; expect a high-octane performance of classics with a unique twist such as ‘Sweet Child O’ Mine’ and ‘God Gave Rock And Roll To You’.

Lytham Festival Director Peter Taylor comments: “This latest announcement is very exciting for Lytham Festival, it’s the result of a lot of hard work and planning that is being channelled into the event’s development. Lytham Festival still has elements on the Proms as is evident in the A-list headliner we’ve added, McBusted. This night at Lytham Green will be soundtracked by hits people know and love and there will be a big party atmosphere.

However, in Lytham Festival’s new form we have more locations and a wider breadth of artists, the result is yet more opportunities to see even more great music. Plus it can only be a good thing that one of these amazing talents, Rae Morris, is one of Lancashire’s very own. We’re proud to be bringing her and the other stars to one of Lytham’s landmark venues.”

Furthermore, the Pavilion stage will host after-party events for those wishing to carry on celebrating once the main stage, better know as The Proms Arena, comes to a close. Trance music pioneer Chicane will keep the dance floor filled on Thursday 6th August as the official after party for Faithless. Blackpool club night and 80s aficionados ‘Adam and Eve’ will take charge of proceedings on Friday 7th, the perfect follow on from Lytham Festival’s ‘80s VS 90s’ themed show earlier that evening.
