Welcome to the Lancaster Festival Music Page!
Over just one weekend we will have around 40 locations jumping with nearly 200 performances from over 100 acts celebrating the great music of our district and beyond from indie, to rock, from brass band to classical, jazz to shanty, originals, covers, electronica. Many acts are from around here but we also have superb performers from Australia, USA, Austria, Spain, even Yorkshire. Then there's ale festivals and trails, outdoor markets and much assorted mayhem taking place in venues from pubs, clubs to castles and canal barges, cathedrals, schools and shopping centres.
All the acts have been selected (well, almost!). As always there have been last minute changes. Last year's roster can be viewed <HERE>.
