Lancaster Music Festival 2014
Lancaster’s award-winning FREE Music Festival is famous for reflecting the city of Lancaster’s musical abundance, excellence and diversity and is driven by well over 150 acts performing a wide range of genres at over 30 venues within walking distance across the city as well as venues at Lancaster University. Now in its 6th year, Lancaster Music Festival is being extended by 2 days to take place from 9th to 13th October 2014. The festival will kick off with a launch party on the Thursday evening!
Lovely Eggs performing during last years festival. Photo Lancaster Music Festival
Virtually all the shows are free. The ales are not free but are super. There will be a Festival Ale courtesy of Thwaites Brewery and brand new for this year an special blend of Festival Coffee, courtesy of Atkinsons Coffee Roasters.
Despite efforts in previous years to try to wrap up LMF on Sunday night we have found that it continues into the week, so we now officially give up and accept this city now has its own unofficial Bank Holiday weekend!
For more information about the festival, including details of how to apply to perform, visit our website www.lancastermusicfestival.com or contact us via email, phone or social media using the details below.
So come along to a huge variety of performances from local, regional, national and international acts. Already more venues, more acts, more of the time, more music, more madness!
