Timberlake and Morissette to headline festival

Justin Timberlake and Alanis Morissette have been announced as the first headline acts at Lancashire's Lytham Festival 2025.

Seven-time Grammy award winning singer- songwriter Morissette will headline the festival on 4 July, with record producer, songwriter and actor Timberlake performing at Lytham Green the following night.

Simple Minds and Texas will perform on the closing night of the festival.

Other headliners, support acts and special guests for the 2-6 July event will be announced in the coming weeks.

Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: "Everyone we are announcing 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."

He said the "brilliant double-headlining set" of Simple Minds and Texas "will be very popular with our Lytham audience".
