Lytham Festival 2026 attracted more than 110,000 people across its five nights, closing last night (Sunday 5th July) with global superstar Pitbull sensationally bringing the curtain down in front of 25,000 people.
Thousands of fans donned bald caps for the night – mimicking the Miami rapper’s trademark look – as their hero delivered on his pledge to “bring the party” to Lytham as part of his “I’m Back” world tour.
Pitbull told his adoring fans: “To all the baldies out there, thank you for the love and thank you for the commitment! Happy 15th Anniversary Lytham Festival!”
A sizzling 90 minutes of high-octane hits followed including “Timber”, “Don’t Stop The Party”, “Hotel Room Service”, “Damn I Love Miami”, “Gasolina”, “International Love” and the explosive anthem “Fireball”.
Grammy-winning rapper and record producer Lil Jon was Pitbull’s special guest, with his set including such hits as “Shots”, “Anaconda”, “Krazy” and “Outta Your Mind”.
British rapper Tinchy Stryder also joined the “Mr Worldwide” party, while DJ and producer PBH opened the show.
The 2026 festival has also seen headlining shows from vocal titan Teddy Swims, seven-time Grammy-winning Alanis Morissette, international multi-award winning Michael Bublé and the most successful duo in UK music history Pet Shop Boys, with special guests and support artists including Lauren Spencer Smith, Skunk Anansie, Ronan Keating and Scissor Sisters.
Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “What a week! The plan was to make our 15th anniversary year very special and it is safe to say that is exactly what the past five days have been.
We have welcomed some of the biggest names in music internationally, and to have such a huge global star as Pitbull to close our party with a phenomenal performance was just perfect. So now it’s on to 2027. The dates are in the diary, the artists are being booked and we can’t wait to start making some exciting announcements very soon.
The North West’s largest music festival will return to Lancashire for five nights in 2027: Wednesday June 30th to Sunday July 4th.
