Lytham Festival has welcomed some huge names over the years, but Saturday night's triple-header of Dave Pearce, Scissor Sisters and Pet Shop Boys was an all time classic. From hands-in-the-air trance bangers to sexual innuendo fuelled pop rock mayhem, the Lancashire coast was treated to a night of pure entertainment.

“Dangerous” Dave Pearce had the honour of getting the party started and wasted absolutely no time in doing so. The dance music legend fired out trance anthem after trance anthem, turning Lytham Green into a giant open air 90s nightclub and proving to be a decent slice of foreplay for the final two acts.

Next, up popped Scissor Sisters. Or, more accurately, a glitter covered tornado of sass, chaos, flesh and family friendly filth.

Singer Amber Martin had the crowd eating out of the palm of her hand from the off, cheekily declaring, "It's a little nippy out here today," while pointing directly at her nipples. If anyone had arrived expecting a polite evening by the seaside, they were clearly at the wrong festival.

Her partner in crime Bridget Barkan was equally outrageous, fondly reminiscing about New York City back when it was "dirty, not Disney" and happily informing the audience she wasn't afraid to “show a little skin if you know what I mean!?" At one point Amber boldly announced: "I am HORNY, I want a little MAN MEAT!" — a statement that was greeted with deafening approval from sections of the audience.

Thankfully, there was a phenomenal band backing up all the naughtiness. Scissor Sisters rattled through their hits, while a brilliantly unexpected burst of George Michael's "Freedom" dropped into the middle of "Take Your Mama." It was camp, outrageous, hilarious and ridiculously entertaining. Put simply, Scissor Sisters absolutely smashed it.

As darkness began to fall, Pet Shop Boys emerged looking like they had accidentally wandered in from a Daft Punk convention. Wearing futuristic masks and headgear, the duo's entrance was every bit as theatrical as fans had hoped.

Opening with the pulsating brilliance of "Suburbia", Pet Shop Boys wasted no time reminding everyone why they remain one of Britain's greatest pop exports. What followed was a dazzling conveyor belt of timeless hits, from the euphoric "Se A Vida É" to the arms-aloft anthem "Go West". The quality control was the gold standard.

And then there's Neil Tennant. At 71 years old, he looks absolutely ridiculous for all the right reasons. While the rest of us are finding new aches every morning, Tennant continues to glide around stages in front of thousands looking decades younger. If anyone ever needed proof that a life of pop stardom and a touch of hedonism might actually preserve you, here it was standing on stage in Lytham.

The encore somehow managed to lift things even higher. "West End Girls" and "Being Boring" closed the show in glorious fashion – both songs contrasting but culminating at the same time.

Lytham Festival has produced plenty of special nights over the years, but this felt like one of the absolute crown jewels — a joyous celebration of pop, personality and pure wonderland from start to finish.
