Superstar DJ Fatboy Slim will headline Lytham Festival next summer, bringing The Rockafeller Skank and Right Here Right Now to the Lancashire coast on Friday 2 July 2027.
Dance pop star Becky Hill is confirmed as special guest for the Friday night. The booking lands after Robbie Williams sold out Saturday in record time, and organisers say more headliners are still to come for what they call the North West’s largest live music festival.
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday 4 September via lythamfestival.com. PayPal customers can access a presale from 9am on Tuesday 1 September.
Lytham Festival 2027 runs from Wednesday 30 June to Sunday 4 July. The bill so far is:
- Wednesday 30 June: TBC
- Thursday 1 July: TBC
- Friday 2 July: Fatboy Slim, with special guest Becky Hill
- Saturday 3 July: Robbie Williams
- Sunday 4 July: TBC
Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “Fatboy Slim is simply an icon. This is a night I have wanted to schedule for a long time so I can’t wait to welcome him to Lytham. His shows are the stuff of legend and I have every confidence this will be a huge night filled with some of the best beats the world of electronic music has to offer.”
Taylor also flagged Becky Hill’s return, nine years after her last Lytham appearance. “I’m also really looking forward to welcoming Becky Hill back to Lytham. It will be nine years since she was last here and her career just goes from strength to strength so it will be a pleasure to see her return to our stage. With Robbie Williams headline show selling out in record time and now adding Fatboy Slim to the mix, it is safe to say we are looking at a very exciting Lytham Festival 2027.”
This month marks 30 years since Fatboy Slim, aka Norman Cook, released his debut album under that name, Better Living Through Chemistry. The record mixed hip hop, funk, house, reggae and indie, and featured Everybody Needs A 303, Punk to Funk and Going Out Of My Head. Three decades on, Cook is still playing everywhere from Rio and Coachella to Ibiza and underground clubs, with more than 100 Glastonbury appearances plus his own All Back To Minehead weekender. The Lytham date is billed as a night of hedonistic energy, shoes off and Hawaiian shirt on.
Becky Hill first played Lytham Festival alongside Pete Tong in 2018. A two time BRIT Award winner, she has passed 10 billion career streams, scored six UK Top 10 hits and a number 1 single, and saw debut album Only Honest On The Weekend land in the Top 10 and go Gold. 2024 follow up Believe Me Now? became her highest charting record to date, reaching the UK Top 3, and her next album REBECCA is framed as a new era of self expression. She has played Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Parklife and Creamfields, sold out a UK and Ireland arena headline tour, and first came through on The Voice UK in 2012.
Friends and business partners Daniel Cuffe and Peter Taylor started the event as the one day Lytham Proms concert in 2010. It has grown into a five day festival attracting up to 115,000 people a year, with past headliners including Kylie, Rod Stewart, Lionel Richie, Diana Ross, Sting, Shania Twain, Stereophonics, Faithless, Bryan Adams, Def Leppard, Courteeners, The Strokes, Michael Bublé and Pitbull.
