With seemingly the whole musical world calling Liverpool home over the next seven days, Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald is here to guide us on our way.
Liverpool and music, go together like moon and the stars. When you think about our city, its probably one of the first things that you think of. From the heady days of The Beatles to the modern day, music is part of our soul.
Clearly this love for all things audio is shown by the abundance of artists that grace our shores week in week out, with this week no exception. Our musical magnetic pull will see a swathe of artists hit our venues over the next seven days, all before the gargantuan PZYK Fest unleashes its magic upon us and the debauched shenanigans of Smithdown Road Festivals Student Party begins at the weekend.
So hold tight and get ready for a sonic adventure like no other.
