The eighth Morecambe Punk Festival has received a £4,500 boost as it prepares to bring more than 50 bands over four days to the town.
The punk festival will be held in venues on Morecambe seafront from November 14-17.
Founded in 2017, the event has grown from a relatively small two-day event for 200 people to a four-day festival entertaining over 1,500 attendees, with bands and audience members coming from all around the world.
Headliners this year include Peter & The Test Tube Babies, Inner Terrestrials, Hung Like Hanratty, Dirtbox Disco and Random Hand.
Johnny’s Warehouse Bar on Marine Road will host the main stage from Friday to Sunday.
The Kings Arms will also host a Late Show each night, with up-close and personal music. The pub will also host a free pre-festival show on the evening of Thursday November 14.
Here is the full line-up on the official event poster, complete with punk Eric Morecambe!
Morecambe Punk Festival is also celebrating a grant of £4,500 from Morecambe Town Council.
Caroline Wood, co-founder of Morecambe Punk Festival, said: "We would like to thank Morecambe Town Council for their support in this year’s event. The money awarded will mainly help towards accommodation, travel costs and food for over 50 bands that are travelling from as far as the U.S.A this year.
"Due to the rising cost of living, we sought help and the council was there to support our alternative music scene, which has taken place since 2017 on Morecambe sea front in November and helps boost our local economy at the bleakest time of the year."
Lee Bradbury, chair of Morecambe Town Council’s Festivals, Sponsorships and Events Committee, said: "Major events that take place outside of the traditional summer season, like Morecambe Punk Festival, play a vital role in supporting our local hospitality industry and increasing the attraction of Morecambe as a year-round destination.
"Many people will know me as a mod – and historically mods and rockers don’t get along! But this is a great event for a great subculture with a welcoming community, and Morecambe Town Council is proud to support Morecambe Punk Festival with this grant."
