Now in its third year, Burnley Live is tuning up to be one of the biggest music celebrations in the town, uniting dozens of pubs, bars and businesses in a festival of live music and local talent. From indie and rock to pop and punk, the festival covers a variety of genres, with a headline stage located on Ormerod Street showcasing an incredible line-up of local bands and musicians throughout the weekend. St James’s Street will also come alive with the Artisan Market, set to take place on Saturday 3rd May, serving everything from popular street food to local produce and arts and crafts, while families can see live wrestling action at Burnley Market, where the stars of Top Rope Wrestling Academy battle it out from 12pm – 2pm.
With an eclectic range of performances taking place from 11am ‘til the late hours, this year’s line-up includes a mix of crowd-pleasing favourites and rising stars. Look out for performances from the likes of the world’s first and best Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band, Fleetwood Bac, ska band Owter Zeds, Electric Disco band The Blipz, acoustic rock and pop band The Biscuit Bros, local Burnley singer Georgina Moat, and a variety of icon tribute acts including Kylie, ABBA, Meat Loaf, Bon Jovi and Robbie Williams amongst many others.
