Kings of Leon and Bastille join Lytham line-up

Kings of Leon, The Corrs, David Gray, Bastille, James Morrison and Emily Rhodes are all joining next year's Lytham Festival line-up.

They join headliners DJ Fatboy Slim and Robbie Williams, whose show on Saturday 3 July has already sold out.

Kings of Leon will headline the opening night on Lytham Green on 30 June, joined by Bastille.

Meanwhile the closing night of the festival on 4 July will see The Corrs headlining, joined by David Gray, James Morrison and rising Lancashire artist Emily Rhodes.

Peter Taylor, co-founder of Lytham Festival, said the line-up was "something that we hope appeals to as wide an audience as possible".

He said there was still "one more night to announce which I am confident will appeal to even more customers".

The Lancashire date is one of just two northern UK shows for Kings of Leon next summer, along with two sold out nights at London's The O2 and a headline appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival.

With more than 13 million records sold, three UK number one albums, six UK Top 40 singles and more than eight billion streams, Bastille are one of the world's most streamed acts.

You Give Me Something artist James Morrison has two UK number one albums, five UK Top 10 singles and a a BRIT award, while David Gray has had hits including Babylon, This Year's Love, and Sail Away.

Emily Rhodes returns to Lytham after first performing on the festival's BBC Introducing stage in 2019.
