Lottery Winners announce career-defining homecoming stadium show in Greater Manchester - dates and ticket info

Taking place on Saturday 30th May 2026, the massive event represents a full-circle moment for the chart-topping four-piece, who have risen over the past three years from local favourites to national treasures. Hailing from Leigh themselves, this stadium show is a proud milestone in a journey defined by resilience, ambition, and an unwavering connection to their roots.

In what promises to be an unforgettable night, Lottery Winners will be joined on stage by a star-studded lineup of special guests, including Frank Turner and Reverend & The Makers, both past collaborators and friends of the band. Additional guest appearances are set to be announced in the coming months.

Support for the event will include Scouting for Girls, the hitmaking London trio behind tracks like She’s So Lovely, Heartbeat, and This Ain’t a Love Song. They’ll be joined by local favourites The Lilacs, with a DJ set from Katie Owen rounding off the night’s festivities.

Speaking about the announcement, frontman Thom Rylance said: “Leigh Sports Village isn’t just another show for us, it’s a marker of everything we’ve worked for. From loading gear into pubs to travelling the world, every step has led here.

“To headline a stadium at home is rare, and we don’t take that lightly. This night will stand as proof of what’s possible when you keep on keeping on. Headlining Leigh Sports Village is special in itself but doing it here in our hometown—surrounded by the people who’ve supported us from the very start—makes it truly unforgettable.

“The fact that we get to welcome legends and friends like Frank Turner, Reverend and the Makers and Scouting for Girls to our town feels incredible. It’s Leigh opening its doors to the world, and we’re proud to be the ones hosting.”

Tickets will go on presale at 10am on Wednesday 24th September, with general sale launching at 10am on Friday 26th September via thelotterywinners.co.uk and livenation.co.uk. The show will make Lottery Winners only the third act ever to headline Leigh Sports Village Stadium, following in the footsteps of Elton John (2014) and Lionel Richie (2018).

Comprising Thom Rylance, Rob Lally, Katie Lloyd, and Joe Singleton, Lottery Winners are the only act from Leigh to ever score a UK No.1 album. Their breakthrough came in 2023 with the critically acclaimed Anxiety Replacement Therapy, followed by the euphoric and genre-pushing KOKO in 2024 — cementing their status as one of the most loved bands in British music.

The stadium announcement caps a streak of major achievements, including main stage festival slots, national radio playlists, TV appearances, and a blockbuster tour supporting Robbie Williams, which saw them play some of the UK and Europe’s largest venues. During the tour, Thom and Katie also joined Robbie live on stage.

Robbie Williams praised the band during the run, stating: “I’ve completely fallen in love with the Lottery Winners, and even when the tour was just two weeks in, I had a pang of sadness that their tenure with me can’t last forever.”

After more than 15 years of dedication, the band’s rise from grassroots venues to stadium stages reflects their unique ability to blend honest lyrics, mental health advocacy, and infectious indie-pop anthems. Now, with their biggest show yet on the horizon, Lottery Winners are set to turn their hometown celebration into a defining moment in UK music.
