Saturday - 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!
Saturday brings our most jam-packed Indie/alt night EVER! Featuring Greggy favourites Kiwi, Rica and Hummus, and introducing Good Boy Nikko and Citrus Tax. Elsewhere we bring a chilled folk afternoon, a bouncing Vinyl DJ night, plus even more workshops!
