The three-day Lechlade Music Festival returns this year, from
Friday 27 to Sunday, 29 May.

The multi award-winning, family-friendly festival has bounced back for 2022, after the pandemic kept the event out of the calendar for two years.

Now festival-goers will get to celebrate the 10th Lechlade Festival with a stellar line-up.

Pop songstress Alexandra Burke headlines Saturday night and legendary music giants The Boomtown Rats will headline the Renishaw Main Stage on Sunday night, closing the show on a stupendous line-up of live music. Over 100 artists will perform across five stages.

This year sees the addition of a new second arena, a silent disco and a cabaret stage, featuring internationally acclaimed artists along with local talent. Friday sees headline tribute acts Guns or Roses and JK as Robbie Williams take to the stage. The introduction of the MusicLab Open Mic night on Friday will give would-be performers the chance for a slot at the festival.

Free family workshops are included in the festival ticket, and a wide variety of stalls, food and real ales will be available.

Local businesses and organisations are supporting and sponsoring the event, including engineering giants Renishaw, Zapp Active, Edward Bays Ltd, Lechlade Town Council and Fairford based Pappillon Print. The Royal International Air Tattoo will sponsor the family workshop tents.

Residents in the surrounding areas benefit from savings on tickets with special rates for both camping and non-camping options. Tickets can be bought online via the website or at Lechlade Post Office (no booking fee). Children 16 and under still go free*.

*Children 16 & under and Teens (17-19) must be accompanied by a responsible adult (25+) bearing a valid adult ticket.
