Hometown heroes The Lottery Winners have announced their biggest-ever headline performance: a massive, career-defining show at LSV Stadium in Leigh on Saturday, May 30, 2026. This landmark event is a full-circle moment for the band, who have risen from local favorites to chart-topping national treasures over the past three years.
For this special homecoming, The Lottery Winners will be joined by a stellar lineup of collaborators and friends. The stage will feature guest appearances from artists who have contributed to their albums, including Frank Turner and Reverend & The Makers, with more names to be announced. Supporting the band will be Scouting for Girls, known for their infectious hits, along with local band The Lilacs and a DJ set from Katie Owen.
Frontman Thom Rylance described the show as a culmination of everything the band has worked for, from local pub gigs to a recent stadium tour supporting Robbie Williams. He emphasized that headlining a stadium in their hometown is a rare opportunity and a testament to their perseverance. Rylance added that the event is "Leigh opening its doors to the world, and we’re proud to be the ones hosting."
The Lottery Winners, consisting of Thom Rylance, Rob Lally, Katie Lloyd, and Joe Singleton, are the first act from Leigh to achieve a UK No. 1 album. They are also only the third headlining act in the history of LSV Stadium, following music legends Elton John and Lionel Richie. This monumental show will be a celebration of their success and their journey from the margins to the mainstream.
