ABOUT SOUTH RIBBLE LIVE 2025 LONGTON

Thank you for supporting our weekend of live music and entertainment.

We’ve got 119 performances across 16 venues in Longton on Friday 27 and Saturday 28 June.

The much-loved event, organised jointly by South Ribble Borough Council and the Creative Network, will feature performances from 7pm in each venue lasting 45 minutes with a 15-minute changeover in between sets. People will be able to come and go as they like in any of the venues.

Wristbands will be required for entry to the event, which cost £6, and gets you into every venue, on both nights. Under 12s go free and do not need a wristband – there are certain venues, due to their licensing conditions, that children won’t be allowed into.

This information will be included at the top of each venue page.
