Lancaster has a truly phenomenal music scene for such
a small city. At last count there were 31 venues that put on live
music either regularly or occasionally. Twenty of these are within
easy walking distance of each other in the city centre.
Lancaster is also home to nearly 100 acts, many of
world class calibre of all ages and all genres.
This year we aim to build on last year's event and
not only put on music during the One Planet Festival but conclude
with a full on music festival on the weekend of Oct. 9th - 11th
(see Lancaster
Music Festival for full details).
20 venues putting on a wide variety of music from
local and international artists with several music themes running
throughout such as jazz, blues, world, folk, indie, punk, rock and
pop. Additionally, we expect major label workshops, panels and showcase
opportunities.
This event is organised through a partnership with The One Planet
Festival, Lancaster venues, The Storey Creative Business Centre
and Lancaster based international booking agency, CME
Artist Services.
