Stealing Sheep
Liverpool Music Week unveil the full details of this years landmark extravaganza, with Getintothis’ Craig MacDonald eager to spill all the essentials.
Liverpool Music Week has revealed the final additions to its gargantuan lineup, as it brings a plethora of sonic delights to the city for its 15th edition.
Headlined by the iconic Nile Rogers and CHIC and strewn across the length and breadth of Liverpool’s musical epicentre, over 70 acts will play across nine venues throughout the week, with the climax being the spectacular closing party on November 4.
With Getintothis unleashing the full hit for the colossal closer down at the Invisible Wind Factory and North Shore Troubadour, the heads at Liverpool Music Week have now added a host of names to this year’s gathering as they firmly justify their recent nominations at the UK Festival Awards.
A special performance of disco classics will see the Sense of Sound Singers head to the Echo Arena as they join Liverpool Disco Festival DJs to open up this year’s proceedings.
Meanwhile, the Baltic Triangle will see Dialect and Bonnacons of Doom support Blanck Mass on a night of unrelenting drone splendor, while up north Getintothis favourites Stealing Sheep join fellow off-kilter shape- shifters Makeness as they join Jungle at the Invisible Wind Factory.
Back in the center, TV ME and AGP will be joining Nottingham psych pop princes Childhood in the catacombs of The Magnet, with fellow Liverpool upstarts Loved Ones and Hers supporting the riotous Gengahr in the same venue later in the week.
