LANCASTER MUSIC FESTIVAL is one of the UK’s largest urban music festivals, where excited festival-goers descend on the historic city of Lancaster for a long weekend of music and merriment. With music throughout the city in over 50 venues, all easily walkable within the city centre, from the courtyard inside Lancaster Castle to cafés and coffee shops, through the city’s squares and outdoor spaces, and in the majority of the city’s 30-odd wonderful pubs and bars.

Our grassroots festival celebrates the wonderful diversity and quality of musicians and performers in the local area, whilst also inviting acts from all over the globe. With over 400 performances from more than 300 artists – almost all of them free – plus street theatre and workshops, LMF delivers something for everyone, no matter what age or musical taste.
