Vintage Vibes is returning to the East Lancashire Railway this weekend with live tribute acts, Northern Soul favourites and all day heritage rail travel included in ticket prices across Saturday 23 May and Sunday 24 May.
The event will once again take over Bolton Street Station, The Trackside and surrounding areas in Bury.
The event follows a successful debut and organisers have expanded the line up for 2026 with performances celebrating several decades of music.
Saturday will feature acts including Kinisha as Tina Turner and her band, Sharleen as Cher, The Signatures featuring Lorraine Silver and Supersonic Queen. Visitors will also be able to meet members of the UK garrison of the 501st Legion during appearances on Saturday.
Sunday's programme includes performances from The Cavernites, Jackie Marie, Matt Thomas Band, Kelly Marie as Cher and Wild Boys, alongside DJ sets from Ian Gibbons across both days. Entertainment will also be spread across Ramsbottom, Rawtenstall and the Heywood shuttle service.
Speaking exclusively to Lorna from the East Lancashire Railway on our Facebook video, she says that the tickets include unlimited train travel throughout the day and access to entertainment areas and the main stage. Food vendors and a returning vintage fair from So Retro will also be part of the weekend programme.
The event will run from midday until 10pm on both days with late evening shuttle services arranged for visitors travelling back towards Rawtenstall and Heywood.
