From pies to production, security to branding, and talent to transport, everything about this event is rooted in the city.
Hosting some of the biggest names in music, including Pete Tong on Saturday and Embrace on Sunday, the Weekender is set to draw thousands into the city centre. But it’s not just about the main acts—there’s also an incredible lineup of local support acts, giving Preston talent a chance to shine on a major stage.
Beyond the music, the event is a major boost for local businesses. Across the weekend, many city centre bars, restaurants, and businesses are offering special discounts and promotions, encouraging festivalgoers to explore and spend locally.
Whether it’s grabbing a bite to eat before the show, picking up some festival fashion, or enjoying a post-event drink, supporting these businesses helps keep events like this alive.
Want to see the Preston Weekender grow and become a must-attend annual event? The best way to make that happen is to back it now—buy your ticket, show up, and support the local businesses that make it all possible.
This isn’t just another festival—it’s a Preston gig, through and through. Let’s make it one to remember!
