LIMF 2017 full line up, stage times and guide to Liverpool summer festival

LIMF Crowd

Liverpool International Music Festival 2017 begins in Liverpool for it’s fifth year, Getintothis’ Ryan Craig has you covered on the music, stage times, festival site guide and just about everything in between.

That’s right, it’s that time of the year again. Liverpool International Music Festival is back.

Liverpool’s biggest summer pop festival, LIMF returns for its fifth anniversary and Getintothis has everything you need to know about the summer celebration of pop.

With the weight of previous year’s success on its shoulders, expectations are sure to be high.

And organisers have once again blended a mix of big pop names from across spheres of grime, garage, rock and roll and pop through to emerging Liverpool talents and a side portion of art, festivites and all round good times on the menu.

Above all, spend your time wisely – we recommend you explore some new music, support those you like and most importantly, enjoy LIMF and stay safe.

What new music can I hear?

With the likes of Gorgon City, Corinne Bailey Rae, So Solid Crew, Jax Jones, Naughty Boy, DJ Spoony and Cast all making up the big pop names, there are a whole host of rising stars that aren’t to be missed, as shown with our 13 must-see LIMF acts.

We don’t mean to brag, but plenty of our best new acts of 2016 are still continuing to prove us right with their talent, many of whom are on the bill for LIMF. Jo Mary, Lilium and Mary Miller included.

What is LIMF Acadamy?

First of all, leave your rock.

LIMF Acadamy is aimed at budding artists, bands, producers and DJs between the ages 13-25 from across Merseyside, and with 20 of those Merseyside-based artists having been announced to take part in LIMF Academy 2017, you can be sure a few of those fresh faces will only grow into something bigger and better. Artists Such Jalen N’Gonda, MiC Lowry and Eleanor Nelly have all benefited from LIMF Academy.

Check out the full announcement of names here.

What stages should I head to?

Well, the correct answer would be all of them.

Consume as much varied live music as you physically can! However – this writer would suggest sticking near the ItsLiverpool Stage for its shear amount of regional talent on offer.

Many of those already heavily supported here at Getintothis, including this year’s GIT Award winners, She Drew The Gun.
