Friday - Lancaster Music Festival
Age Range: All ages!
It’s that time of year again – Lancaster Music Festival is BACK!
Last year the Gregson was voted by YOU as the third best venue in all of Lancaster. That’s a tough act to follow – but we’re back with a bigger and more diverse set of fantastic musicians than ever before! In fact, we are the BUSIEST venue in the city – with 40+ free events!
On Friday, we welcome Queer by Gum’s Queer Variety Show, a film screening for the little ones, the phenomenal jazzy-souly Persimmon and the hard-hitting Glaswegian outfit Maz and the Phantasms. And to cap off, we’re bringing the always electric The Convulsions helmed by LMF founder Ben Ruth, as well as the phenomenal Uptown Monotones.
See below for the full Thursday line-up, or click here to see the line-up for the entire weekend.
