Musical talent goes on show in return of Lincoln Live

Lincoln Live returns at the end of August to showcase the area’s musical talent.

Promoted by Lincoln City Council and BBC Introducing, the celebration happened on 31 August and 1 September under the Events in Lincoln brand, with a main stage in Lincoln’s Cornhill Square and a brand-new ‘Lincoln Live Unplugged’ zone in St Paul in the Bail, brought to life by Southside Lincoln.

The uphill Unplugged zone will feature exclusively acoustic performances, with a line-up curated by Acoustic Nations Lincoln. This zone will offer an alternative style of music to the main stage on Cornhill Square, allowing for a more relaxed atmosphere across both days.

Taking place between 1pm-8pm on Saturday 31 August, and 11am-4pm on Sunday 1 September, Lincoln Live will feature a 7m x 6m main stage at Cornhill Square, hosting a variety of Lincolnshire’s best under-the-radar musicians. Confirmed acts include River Drive, The Faith Estate, No Cash Refunds and Romy and The RHADs, and returning for a second year is Amber King.

Cllr Joshua Wells, Portfolio Holder for Inclusive Economic Growth at City of Lincoln Council, said: “Building on the success of last year’s Lincoln Live event, we are working with a growing number of local businesses in the city to provide opportunities to grow their presence and engage with the community.

“We look forward to seeing everyone come together to celebrate the end of summer with some fantastic music and entertainment at an event we hope will become a permanent fixture in our city’s annual calendar.”
