The first headliners have been announced for next summer's Lytham Festival bringing international artists to Lancashire.
Grammy Award winner Alanis Morissette will headline on Friday, July 4 and the following night global superstar Justin Timberlake will make his first appearance at the festival on Lytham Green.
The closing night of Lytham Festival on Sunday, July, 6 will see double headlining sets from global rock icons and Scottish legends Simple Minds and Texas.
This year's festival will run from Wednesday, July 2 and headliners for the Wednesday and Thursday nights plus support artists for all five days will be announced at a later date.
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."
Alanis Morissette first broke on to the scene with her 1995 debut album Jagged Little Pill and her hits include Ironic, You Oughta Know and Thank You.
