News summary

Stevie Wonder headlined the Lytham Festival 2025, delivering a 2.5-hour performance that blended his iconic hits with messages of love, compassion, and disappointment in global leadership. Opening with "Love's in Need of Love Today," he expressed frustration with current leaders for failing to improve the world, while emphasizing his faith and family, with appearances by his children Aisha and Kailand. The show featured a rich, funky sound from his extensive band and included crowd favorites like "Master Blaster (Jammin')" and "Higher Ground," alongside heartfelt moments such as "Isn't She Lovely" dedicated to mothers and daughters. Although portions of the set felt padded with slower ballads and mid-show breaks, Wonder's charisma, vocal prowess, and interaction kept the 20,000-strong audience engaged. The festival continues with performances by artists like Alanis Morissette, Justin Timberlake, and Simple Minds, while Pete Waterman, a veteran music producer, is set to perform a DJ set, highlighting the event's mix of legendary and contemporary acts. Overall, Wonder's performance was a powerful reminder of his enduring influence and the emotional connection he maintains with his fans.
