More names are being added to the bill for Lancashire’s Lytham Festival to complete the line up for 2026.


Guitar indie-pop band Pale Waves and Mercury-nominated The Big Moon will support Canadian / American artist Alanis Morissette, while Cuban-American rapper DJ Laz is announced to open the show for global superstar rapper Pitbull. 2026 marks the 15th anniversary of TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival with five nights of international music icons headlining from Wednesday July 1 to Sunday July 5 accompanied by no less than 12 special guests and support artists across the shows. Final tickets are available via lythamfestival.com  

Pale Waves and The Big Moon will support seven-time GRAMMY Award winning Alanis Morissette with special guest musical powerhouse Skunk Anansie on Thursday July 2.


The Lytham date is one of just seven shows Morissette is playing in the UK this year and comes on the heels of her most acclaimed UK shows ever last summer, with a sold-out night at the O2 Arena and a career-defining set at her first ever Glastonbury appearance.
Pale Waves are a guitar-pop force. Fronted by Preston’s Heather Baron-Gracie, they emerged in 2018 with 80s-tinted indie/synth-pop debut album My Mind Makes Noises, they levelled up into pop-punk bite on Who Am I? in 2021, and Unwanted in 2022, before pivoting back to shimmering, melodic jangle-pop on 2024’s Smitten. 


Across 500-plus shows, the band has built a fierce international audience, from festival main stages including Lollapalooza, Glastonbury, and Reading and Leeds, to multiple headline runs in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. Already this year, they have opened for Louis Tomlinson on his 26-date arena tour and have been announced for Yungblud’s Bludfest 2026 in Czechia.
Opening the night will be alt-pop four-piece The Big Moon. Formed in 2014 by lead singer Juliette Jackson, guitarist Soph Nathan, bassist Celia Archer and drummer Fern Ford, The Big Moon are one of the UK’s most widely respected and original bands, and previously performed at Lytham Festival in 2023 supporting George Ezra. Their debut album Love in the 4th Dimension was shortlisted for the prestigious Mercury Prize in 2017. They followed their breakthrough with Walking Like We Do (2020) and 2022’s Here Is Everything, which became their first UK Top 10 album, and featured the singles Wide Eyes, Trouble and This Love.


Also added to the bill is DJ Laz who will open the show for rapper, singer, songwriter and actor Pitbull with special guest rapper and record producer Lil Jon on Sunday July 5. Rapper and radio personality DJ Laz, aka Lazaro Mendez, is a pioneer of Latin bass music, gaining acclaim as a teenager in the 80s and 90s with hits including Journey Into Bass and Move Shake Drop, which was later remixed as a collaboration with Pitbull, while also remixing tracks for artists including Luther Campbell, Will Smith and Gloria Estefan. 
Deeply rooted and a staple in Miami’s music scene, Laz and Pitbull are long-time music collaborators, with their partnership spanning more than two decades and Laz now famously works as a DJ on Mr Worldwide’s Globalization channel SiriusXM.


Alongside Alanis Morissette and Pitbull, the festival will also see headlining sets from vocal titan Teddy Swims on the opening night, international multi-award-winning superstar Michael Bublé on Friday July 3 and the most successful duo in UK music history Pet Shop Boys on Saturday July 4. They are joined by a raft of hitmaking special guests and support artists including breakout vocalist and songwriter Lauren Spencer Smith and multi-instrumentalist Jordan Rakei for Teddy Swims, singer-songwriter Ronan Keating, pop duo Appleton and Lancashire’s very own superstar DJ Graham Liver for Michael Bublé, and iconic glam-pop band Scissor Sisters and legendary Radio 1 DJ Dave Pearce for Pet Shop Boys.


Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “What a line-up. We have an incredible bill of global icons performing across the five days and we can’t wait for it all to start now. 


“Adding such strong artists as Pale Waves and The Big Moon to Alanis Morissette’s show is going to make this an even more incredible night, and then having a DJ as celebrated as Laz open the show for Pitbull will be phenomenal.
“Lytham Festival 2026 promises to be our biggest to date. It’s only a few weeks away now so if you haven’t already, get your tickets secured as there are not many left.”

    There are so many online casinos right now that it’s hard to know which ones are actually worth trying, but I came across https://allyspin-canada.com/ again while comparing options. It looks like they focus a lot on variety, with thousands of games and support for different play styles, from casual slots to live dealer games. I guess the main thing is to always check the conditions and not rely only on bonuses, because every platform has its own rules

    Recently, I was exploring profiles of professionals working in the Cyprus iGaming industry and https://cy.linkedin.com/in/julia-poliavich-2b078a127 came across the experience of Julia Poliavich. What caught my attention wasn’t only the corporate side, but the way modern companies in Limassol focus on compliance culture, education, and long-term professional growth. Today, many people underestimate how important strong internal processes are for building trust in a digital business. In my opinion, when specialists openly discuss transparency and development, it creates a much more professional and sustainable environment for both teams and users.
