At Lytham Festival, Kings of Leon will headline on Wednesday July 2, followed by Morissette on the Friday (July 4), Timberlake on Saturday (July 5) and Sunday (July 6) will see both Simple Minds and Texas top the bill at the festival, which is sponsored by TK Maxx. The headline act for Thursday July 3 has yet to be announced.

“Alanis Morissette is quite simply a cultural phenomenon and an artist with incredible integrity and acclaim who is celebrated globally,” said Lytham Festival co-founder Peter Taylor in a press release.

“To then have the huge superstar that is Justin Timberlake headlining the following night is a booking we are very excited about and one we are confident will be a huge hit. Then we have a brilliant double headlining set with two amazing Scottish artists, in the form of Simple Minds and Texas, to close the festival. These are two bands that I know will be very popular with our Lytham audience.

“And we’ve not finished there. Watch this space as we still have our Wednesday and Thursday headliners plus a lot of special guests to announce in the coming weeks.”

Last year, Hozier, Courteeners, Madness and James headlined the event alongside Rick Astley, Johnny Marr and The Kooks.

In other news, speaking to NME earlier this year, Kings of Leon’s Caleb Followill reflected on his relationship with the group’s huge 2008 hit ‘Sex On Fire’. “I didn’t want it on the album [‘Only By The Night’],” he said. “But I knew it was… good.”

He continued: “I knew it had potential, but I felt like there were other songs… I knew instantly: ‘Everyone’s gonna hear this and they’re not gonna listen to the rest of [the album]’.”

Drummer Nathan Followill added: “It’s kind of like a nickname. Someone gives you a nickname and you act like you hate it… you are stuck with that for the rest of your life. Ask our cousin, Nacho.”
