Welcome to the Lancaster Festival Music Page!
We are no longer taking applications for this year's festival. We will start to take applications for next year's festival starting in November of this year.
Lancaster’s local music scene is bejewelled with superb acts both original and cover, young and old. From award winning 60’s themed band Heroes of She to Barnbox Records prodigious staple of young bands (neo-folk from Ottersgear, avant garde from Adventures of Loki) and Livewire Promotion’s rousing throng of punk acts from near and far (Guilty Pleasures, A48, I Spy Strangers) mixing in with more traditional sounds from blues pianist Boogie Bill Roberts, the Latin sounds of nationally touring Lava, trad jazz veterans The Sun Street Stompers, ripping rock covers from Tin Pan Alley, international touring mod punk boogaloo from the Convulsions, West Gallery choral music from Gladly Solemn to name but a very few
NOTE: The listings below are for 2010. The 2011 full lineup will be announced in early September.
