Beyond Radio will once again be supporting one of the area's biggest community events with a special live outside broadcast from Morecambe Music Festival 2026.
The station is one of the principal sponsors of this year's festival and will be broadcasting live on Saturday July 11 from Morecambe Winter Gardens from 2pm to 5pm, thanks to the support of the venue as official broadcast sponsor.
Now in its ninth year, Morecambe Music Festival has become one of the town's most anticipated annual events, attracting thousands of visitors and showcasing the incredible musical talent found across the region.
Taking place from Thursday July 9 to Sunday July 12, the free festival features performances across more than 40 venues throughout Morecambe, including bars, restaurants, cafés, public spaces, community venues and outdoor locations.
The festival celebrates a diverse range of musical genres, from rock, indie, folk, jazz and blues through to acoustic, pop and original contemporary music.
