US rock giants The Strokes & global favourites Tears For Fears added to Lancashire's Lytham Festival headliners

US rock legends The Strokes and global favourites Tears For Fears will headline two of the extra five nights announced for Lancashire’s Lytham Festival 2022.

It was revealed earlier this month that the North West’s biggest live music festival is about to get even bigger next year after plans were approved to extend the usual five-day event to 10.

And today, promoters Cuffe and Taylor have announced the first two headliners to join those previously announced for the event taking place from Tuesday 28 June to Sunday 10 July.

Tickets go on sale at 9am on Friday (Sept 17) from www.lythamfestival.com

One of the most influential bands of the 21^st century, The Strokes Lytham Festival performance on Friday July 8 will be an exclusive North of England show. From the moment they released their critically acclaimed debut album Is This It in 2001 The Strokes were destined for huge international success and have gone on to earn a string of awards including a Grammy earlier this year for their most recent album The New Abnormal.

And to make this one huge rock night to remember, The Strokes will be supported by Irish post punk band Fontaines DC.

The following night, Saturday July 9, will see timeless favourites Tears For Fears headline. The Brit Award winners have garnered international success and toured throughout the world delighting audiences with their iconic hits including Mad World, Shout, Everybody Wants To Rule The World and Head Over Heels.

Critically acclaimed hitmaking singer-songwriter Alison Moyet is special guest, while Australian pop star Natalie Imbruglia will open the show.
