An Accrington music festival, that was headlined by Jess Glynne last year, is set to come back with a bang this year.
International Music Event Production (iMEP) has announced that the 2025 iMEP Music Festival will take place over two days at Accrington Cricket Club’s iMEP Arena on Friday, September 19 and September 20.
The announcement comes following the successful launch of the festival in September, which was headlined by popstar Jess Glynne and saw thousands attend the event. It also featured the Pussycat Dolls’ Kimberley Wyatt.
Now plans are at an advanced stage for an even bigger and better music festival at the cricket club in 2025, with big-name international acts already being booked, as well as exciting new attractions.
Details about the specific acts are set to be announced.
Tickets are set to go on sale early in 2025, with announcements on the headline and support acts set to come in January.
Eddy O’Brien, chief executive of iMEP, said: “We are delighted to announce that the iMEP Music Festival will be a two-day event in 2025.
“We have listened to feedback from those who attended the 2024 festival, and our plans are even bigger and better for next year, including more international artists coming here to Accrington.
“After bringing Jess Glynne to Lancashire, we were determined to aim even higher in 2025 and we can’t wait to start announcing our headline acts from January.”
Murray Dawson, chair of Amazing Accrington, added: “This is another large-scale event coming here to Accrington and one that will be fantastic for our local businesses and community.
“The 2024 event really put Accrington on the map and with more global stars coming to the town, it is a huge positive for the borough.”
iMEP offer everything from lighting, sound, staging and special effects, to fully managed music and theatre event production.
