Sounds Out are opening the Main Stage ☀️🎉

We're excited to welcome the community group, Sounds Out to the Lancashire Festival main stage as our official opening act!

We popped along to see their rehearsal, and it was absolutely brilliant! 🔥

We are so excited to share more details of our set at the The Lancashire Festival! ( ) on the 25th July 2026.

We only have the honour of opening the show! We will be the first act on stage at 12:00-12:30. The Sounds Out team have had a busy few months selecting and arranging versions of some well known hits that we hope everyone will know and love.

So much hard work is going into learning parts and perfecting pieces. We have been holding extra sessions as we are determined to put on a fantastic show for you and showcase what our wonderful community is capable of!

We are also really proud to be bringing lots of new talent to the stage and members old and new are stepping up to bring the best show we can to our home city of Preston.

Please come and join us at this fantastic event in the beautiful surroundings of Avenham & Miller Park. Tickets are only £5 for a full day packed with entertainment and fun. Bring your own chairs and blankets and settle in for the day.

If you're part of the Parkrun community, please have a quick read 🏃‍♂️

Due to essential festival setup and vehicle movements for Lancashire Festival, Preston parkrun on 25th July will unfortunately not be able to go ahead in Avenham and Miller Parks.

We understand many people may still wish to run in the parks that morning. However, with increased vehicle movement and operational activity between 6am–10am, we kindly ask that runners make alternative plans for that day and avoid using the event areas during setup.

These measures are necessary to help keep everyone safe while preparations are underway.

We appreciate this may disrupt some weekend routines, and we’re very grateful for everyone’s understanding and co-operation.

Thank you,
Lancashire Festival

Popular Saturday morning run for hundreds of runners won't take place due to two major events in Avenham and Miller Parks
