Singer/songwriter Sir Elton John will be the first artist to plat at Blackpool's new outdoor venue: Tower Festival Headland.
The Rocket Man performer, who recently became a father for the first time, will play one night only on 16 June.
"I'm looking forward to revisiting this legendary seaside town and playing on the Golden Mile," he said.
Natalie Wyatt, managing director of Marketing Blackpool, told the BBC she was delighted to welcome him back to the popular seaside resort.
She said: "This concert will mark the opening of the venue as
a premier space for events and festivals and is testament to the
fantastic improvements which have taken place in the resort to date.
"I'm sure that many visitors will come to enjoy the concert
and then take the opportunity to experience everything that Blackpool
has to offer whilst they are here."
