For the first time since lockdown a music festival in memory of a teenager is coming home - and The Ligtning Seeds will top the bill.
The G-Festival has raised more than £350,000 over the last decade for charities abroad and in Salford. Steve Murray was inspired to first stage the event after his daughter, Georgia, from Worsley, died in November 2010, aged 19, after a heart operation.
It has been held every year since except for a break due to the pandemic. It is run by Georgia’s Children of the World charity, and previous concerts have included a guest appearance by Happy Mondays’ Shaun Ryder.
The Lightning Seeds, who had a huge hit when they teamed up with comedians Frank Skinner and David Baddiel for the iconic "Three Lions (Football's Coming Home)" song in May 1996 are set to headline a line-up of live music and family entertainment at G-Festival on Saturday June 17th.
