Cotton Fest lands in Wigan on Saturday 22 August, bringing a full day of live music, entertainment and family-friendly festival energy to one of the town’s biggest cultural spaces.
Taking over Cotton Works for the day, the festival will spread across Feast at the Mills, Factory Floor and Three Mills, with each venue adding something different to the programme. Expect live music, food, drinks, entertainment and a full summer festival atmosphere without having to leave town.
The line-up is built around crowd-pleasing tribute acts, bringing some of the biggest names in music to life across the site. There’ll be performances paying tribute to Arctic Monkeys, Sam Fender, Oasis, Taylor Swift, Rumi from K-Pop Demon Hunters and more, alongside a host of Three Mills musical regulars joining the bill for the day.
Factory Floor will also host an exclusive DJ takeover from On the Plate Promotions, adding a clubbier edge to the festival programme and giving the day another reason to stick around once the live sets are in full swing.
With music spread across Cotton Works’ best-known spaces, plus plenty happening for families, Cotton Fest is shaping up to be one of Wigan’s biggest summer days out.
