Fatboy Slim will headline Lytham Festival on Friday, July 2, 2027, with Becky Hill as special guest, organisers announced on Friday, August 28. This is the second headline act to be revealed for next summer's festival on the Lancashire coast.
Tickets and pre-sale details
Tickets go on general sale at 9am on Friday, September 4, via lythamfestival.com. PayPal customers will have access to a pre-sale from 9am on Tuesday.
Fatboy Slim, the DJ and producer also known as Norman Cook, is known for hits including The Rockafeller Skank, Right Here, Right Now and Praise You. The announcement comes shortly after Robbie Williams sold out his headline show at next year's festival in record time. Organisers said further headliners are still to be announced.
Organiser's reaction
Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “Fatboy Slim is simply an icon. This is a night I have wanted to schedule for a long time, so I can’t wait to welcome him to Lytham. His shows are the stuff of legend and I have every confidence this will be a huge night.
“I’m also really looking forward to welcoming Becky Hill back to Lytham. It will be nine years since she was last here and her career has gone from strength to strength.
“With Robbie Williams’ headline show selling out in record time and now adding Fatboy Slim to the line-up, we are looking at a very exciting Lytham Festival 2027.”
Career milestones and past performances
The announcement also marks 30 years since the release of Fatboy Slim’s debut album, Better Living Through Chemistry. Released in 1996, the album featured tracks including Everybody Needs a 303, Punk to Funk and Going Out of My Head.
The performer has continued to perform internationally throughout his career, including headline appearances at major festivals and more than 100 performances at Glastonbury. He is set to perform at Creamfields this weekend.
Becky Hill first appeared at Lytham Festival alongside Pete Tong in 2018. The two-time BRIT Award winner has had six UK Top 10 singles and one UK number one, while her debut album, Only Honest On The Weekend, reached the UK Top 10 and was certified Gold.
She has also performed at festivals including Glastonbury, Reading and Leeds, Parklife and Creamfields, and has completed a sold-out UK and Ireland arena tour. Her return to Lytham Festival with Fatboy Slim will be her first appearance at the festival since 2018.
Festival line-up so far
Lytham Festival 2027 runs from Wednesday, June 30 to Sunday, July 4. The line-up so far includes Fatboy Slim with special guest Becky Hill on Friday, July 2, and Robbie Williams on Saturday, July 3. Other acts are still to be announced.
