Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “It’s that time of year again and what a line up we have planned. Everyone we are announcing today is an absolute music icon and we can’t wait to welcome them to Lytham.

“Alanis Morissette is quite simply a cultural phenomenon and an artist with incredible integrity and acclaim who is celebrated globally. To then have the huge superstar that is Justin Timberlake headlining the following night is a booking we are very excited about and one we are confident will be a huge hit. Then we have a brilliant double headlining set with two amazing Scottish artists, in the form of Simple Minds and Texas, to close the festival. These are two bands that I know will be very popular with our Lytham audience.

“And we’ve not finished there. Watch this space as we still have our Wednesday and Thursday headliners plus a lot of special guests to announce in the coming weeks. It’s only September but already Lytham Festival 2025 is shaping up to be another incredible week of live music.”

Timberlake - aka the Prince of Pop - will be bringing his The Forget Tomorrow World Tour to Lytham Green. Earlier this year, Timberlake released his sixth studio album Everything I Thought It Was. His world tour has marked his return to the global stage after five years away and the Lytham date will be one of only four UK outdoor shows in 2025.

And the closing night of Lytham Festival on Sunday, July 6, will see a double headlining set from Scottish legends Simple Minds and Texas.

Details of who will be headlining on Wednesday July 2 and Thursday July 3 along with all support acts and special guests will be announced soon.
