Highest Point Festival In Lancaster Adds An Extra Night

An additional night of the live music event in Lancaster will be headlined by Manchester band James, supported by the Lightning Seeds and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly, and will take place on Thursday 2nd September in the 54-acre grounds of Williamson Park.

Festival favourites James will take to the stage to play classics from their back catalogue, plus brand new music including their new single ‘Beautiful Beaches’ from their latest studio album All The Colours Of You. The new album from James is set to be released on 4th June.

Since releasing “Sit Down”, their breakthrough single in 1991, James has released fifteen studio albums, selling over 25 million copies in the process. The band continues to perform headline shows and festivals across the world, with a UK arena tour scheduled this winter.

Liverpudlian rock band Lightning Seeds have already been confirmed as a support act for the gig. The band will light up Lancashire on the Thursday night playing the music that made them famous over their long career, such as hit tracks including “The Life of Riley”, “Pure”, and “Lucky You”.

Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly will also delight gig-goers, as the English musician also known as Sam Duckworth, joins the two bands at the gig on what will be fifteen years since the release of his debut album 'The Chronicles Of A Bohemian Teenager'.

Highest Point Festival, which was originally set to take place in May 2020, will now span three nights, from Thursday 2nd to Saturday 4th September with a bigger capacity and brand new stage.

Tickets to the gig are available priced at £35 at 9am on Thursday 29th April if you sign up for pre sale at www.jamesplayslancaster.co.uk, and on general sale via Skiddle at 9am on Friday 30th April.

Final release tickets for the festival are still available, with tickets for Friday at £45, and tickets for Saturday costing £55.
