Not long now until Alfresco boutique festival takes to the seaside on Sunday 24th May.  The line up is the most experimental Blackpool as ever seen, with an array of live international acts and DJs, street artists and family entertainment for the kids.   Alfresco focus on introducing cutting edge talent, you would normally expect to see at the bigger and established festivals in the bigger cities, not Blackpool! Their attention to detail is second to none, and they make it their mission to pamper everyone’s needs, including the little people. All family entertainment and crafts are free throughout the day, and covered by one small ticket cost.

Alfresco presents the fifth year by hosting four enclosed stages, housed in and around the infamous 120 year old Cricket club, situated in the grounds of national award winning Stanley Park.

Blackpool’s legendary darlings Section 25 take time out from their busy tour to inject some post punk glamour and energy.

Scotland’s Finitribe with Finiflex production make a huge come back this year with new material and rereleases of 101, mixes out soon on Record Store Day, prepare to be impressed with their groundbreaking light show.
