June 11 will be taken over by Save the Rave, a 90s dance event featuring huge acts such as Sonique, K Klass, 2Funky2, N Trance and Lee Butler.

Sunday, June 12 will feature a huge Lookalike Tribute event with some of the best tribute acts in the UK playing music by the likes of The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, ABBA, Oasis, David Bowie and Queen.

Organiser James Daly, of Jaly Concerts, said: “We were blown away by the success of last year’s festival. Both events on the Saturday and Sunday sold out and it was great to see everyone enjoying themselves after lockdown.

“To bring so many iconic acts and big names to Southport was amazing but 2022 we’re going even bigger. With the 2021 festival being such a big hit and a really positive response from the 2022 announcement, the 2022 event is looking to be another great success.

“ It’s a really diverse line up across the weekend so there’s something for everyone, whether you want to attend just one of the days or the full weekend. It’s going to be incredible and we’re really excited about i t!”

Southport Seaside Weekender will take place from June 10 - 12, 2022 at Victoria Park, Southport. Tickets can be secured for each event or you can buy a full festival weekend pass for £82.75 or £165.25 for a VIP festival pass.
