Ahead of next week’s Liverpool International Music Festival, Getintothis Craig MacDonald has the break down of who is on where and when.
With just a week to go ’til the first commission of Liverpool International Music Festival takes place before a jam packed weekend of music across many venues throughout the city, one look at the line up can make you feel pretty overwhelmed.
Featuring major acts like Lianne La Havas and Sigma, through to emerging acts from Liverpool like the electronic bliss of Feral Love or the ever suprising Organ Freeman, it will be impossible to visit the city this week without taking in some live music.
To guide you through, here we have our comprehensive run through of who to see, where and when. With a handy playlist to get you in the mood, trust us when we say this will be your new best mate.
