Beyond Radio was delighted to welcome Lucy Reynolds from Lancaster Music Festival to the studio to explain why the event is now the biggest of its kind in the UK.
The festival will run across the city from Thursday October 13 to Sunday October 16 with a launch night at The Storey on Wednesday, October 12.
Speaking to Rachel Banks on 'Banksy on Beyond' on Tuesday, Lucy said the event had its highest ever number of venues in this, its 12th year.
"It now really is Britain's biggest urban music festival," she said.
LISTEN to Lucy Reynolds (pictured below) speaking about Lancaster Music Festival:

Lucy said: "Lancaster Music Festival has everything from punk to swing to jazz to rock.
"We've got over 400 shows, over 300 performers, plenty of new venues.
"We're expecting thousands of people to come to the city for the weekend and enjoy 97 per cent of free shows, there are very few ticketed shows.
"Lancaster Music Festival is there to showcase the city's already vibrant music scene.
"And there are a lot of firsts this year.
"(We) put unusual and quirky music on in venues, so people listen to the music and see what a beautiful city it is."
