“It’s not often possible to make these things happen due to an artist’s touring schedule but the stars have aligned so we are very excited. To have Skunk Anansie on the bill too only makes for what will be an incredible night of live music and powerful vocals.

“Alanis completes our line-up of headliners for 2026. It’s a very special year for us celebrating the 15th Lytham Festival and to have such international icons on the bill will make for a very memorable five days.

“As ever we have programmed a festival that appeals to as wide an audience as possible and we still have a number of special guests to reveal.”

For 30 years Alanis Morissette has been one of the most influential women in contemporary music with her deeply expressive music and performances earning vast critical praise. Her 1995 debut album Jagged Little Pill was followed by nine more eclectic and acclaimed albums and her music and most notable hits Ironic, You Oughta Know, Hand in My Pocket and Thank U remain as current today.

In 2019, Jagged Little Pill the musical made its Broadway debut and was nominated for 15 Tony Awards, winning two at the 2021 ceremony.

In 2021, Alanis’ sold-out world tour celebrating 25 years of Jagged Little Pill was the number one female-fronted tour of the year. Last year her 35-date North American Triple Moon Tour sold more than half a million tickets and packed every venue to capacity, and this summer saw her bring her 2025 World Tour to the UK for a limited run of sold-out dates between shows in South America and Europe.

After a hiatus in the early 2000s, Skunk Anansie reunited in 2009, continuing to tour and release new material that reaffirms their reputation as one of the most electrifying and thought-provoking bands in British rock, highlighted by the release of their recent top 10 album, the critically and commercially acclaimed The Painful Truth.
