The G-Festival has raised more than £350,000 over the last decade for charities abroad and in Salford
For the first time since lockdown a music festival in memory of a teenager is coming home - and The Ligtning Seeds will top the bill. The G-Festival has raised more than £350,000 over the last decade for charities abroad and in Salford.
The Lightning Seeds, who had a huge hit when they teamed up with comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel for the iconic "Three Lions " song in May 1996 are set to headline a line-up of live music and family entertainment at G-Festival on Saturday June 17th. The former lead singer of Manchester 1970s band, The Fast Cars, he added:“Having such an iconic headline act, who brought us some of the brilliant indie hits of the 90s and of course the Three Lions Coming Home anthem, is amazing. This is a special year and we’ve got a huge line-up of new talent, well-known acts and entertainment planned.”
The fun will continue through the weekend, with G-Festival bringing football home too, when the 'Jet2 TV Allstars Charity Football Team' kick off on Sunday June 18th at AFC Monton. A team of famous faces, captained by Coronation Street’s Alan Halsall will be taking to the pitch on Father’s Day to help raise further funds.
