Popular demand sees the return of tributes to Elvis Presley (performed by 20-year-old newcomer Tommy Holland), Michael Jackson (the Blackpool debut of Ed Jackson) and Tom Jones – and they will be joined for the first time by Amy Winehouse.

All time favourites Neil Diamond, Robbie Williams, Lady Gaga and Freddie Mercury also feature in the star studded line up.

Local vocalist Leanne Fury makes a welcome return after her maternity leave, as Lady Gaga, whilst her 2016 replacement Emma Wright will be stepping in as Amy Winehouse.

Gaz Jenkins is back for a second summer as compere and completing the line-up are the Legends Orchestra and the Wendy Hollands Dancers.
