iMEP Music Festival will return to Lancashire next year bigger than ever

The people behind a Lancashire music festival have confirmed it will return to the county next year bigger than ever.

iMEP have announced that the 2025 iMEP Music Festival will take place over two days at Accrington Cricket Club's iMEP Arena on Friday, September 19 and Saturday, September 20.

The announcement comes following the highly successful iMEP Music Festival in September of this year, which was headlined by global superstar Jess Glynne and attended by thousands.

Organisers say plans are now at an advanced stage for an even bigger and better music festival at the cricket club in 2025, with big name international acts already being booked, as well as exciting new attractions.

Tickets are set to go on sale early in 2025, with announcements on the headline and support acts set to come in January.
