INDIE GREATS JOIN THE LINE UP FOR
TK MAXX PRESENTS LYTHAM FESTIVAL
INSPIRAL CARPETS, THE MAGIC NUMBERS & THE KAIROS
JOIN JOHNNY MARR TO SUPPORT JAMES
Three more artists are being added to the bill for James’ headlining gig at TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival.
The indie legends headline the final night of the North West’s largest live music festival on Sunday July 7 for a 2024 UK festival exclusive, accompanied by the Orca22 Orchestra and the Manchester Inspirational Voices Gospel Choir.
It has already been revealed that British music legend Johnny Marr will be the main support for James, and it is now announced that joining him will be fellow Manchester indie outfit Inspiral Carpets, fan-favourites The Magic Numbers and Liverpudlian four-piece The Kairos.
A vital component of the infamous ‘Madchester’ movement, Inspiral Carpets formed in Oldham in 1980. Known for hit singles including This Is How It Feels, Saturn 5 and She Comes in the Fall, they remain much-loved across the UK. The Magic Numbers are known for their unique harmonies, melodic hooks, songwriting craftsmanship and timeless sound. Their Mercury Prize-nominated self-titled debut album was released in 2005 to outstanding critical acclaim and contained top ten hit singles such as Forever Lost, Love Me Like You and Love is a Game. They will be joined by up-and-coming rock band The Kairos.
TK Maxx presents Lytham Festival returns for five unforgettable nights on Lytham Green from Wednesday 03 to Sunday 07 July 2024.

James will close the five-day festival following headlining shows from Hozier (Weds July 03), Shania Twain (Thurs July 04), Courteeners (Fri July 05) and Madness (Sat July 06), along with hitmaking special guests and support artists including singing ‘Giant’ Rag’n’Bone Man, US rock star Brittany Howard, pop icon Rick Astley and English pop-rock outfit The Kooks.
Festival co-founder Peter Taylor said: “James are one of those artists our customers have repeatedly asked for so it’s great to finally be welcoming them to Lytham this year.
“With Johnny Marr supporting this was already shaping to be an incredible night, but to now add Inspiral Carpets, The Magic Numbers and The Kairos will make this a brilliant night and one that will hold long in people’s memories.”
