Ahead of this weekend’s Liverpool International Music Festival, Getintothis has the breakdown of who is on where and when.
With the first commission taking place tomorrow ahead of a packed weekend of live music for Liverpool International Music Festival across many venues around the city, just looking at the line up can be pretty overwhelming. Featuring major acts such as the legendary Echo and the Bunnymen and Basement Jaxx, to emerging acts from Liverpool on the It’s Liverpool stage like the psychedelic starlets Holy Thursday and rock and roller Louis Berry, it’ll be impossible to visit the city this weekend without taking in some music.
