‘Liverpool in 360’ launches ahead of banner year for music in the city
As befits a UNESCO City of Music, Liverpool is looking ahead to yet another exciting year for music in the city region.
But before the year is even wrapped up, Liverpool in 360 has launched with some of Liverpool’s most promising upcoming artists performing in unusual settings.
This includes tech house innovator Sosa at Oh Me Oh My rooftop garden with the famous Royal Liver Building as a backdrop, up and coming indie rockers Keyside at St George’s Hall and award-winning British neo-jazz singer-songwriter Ni Maxine at Royal Albert Dock while the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra's Equilibrium Quartet played at Camp and Furnace in the Baltic Triangle.
Liverpool was also recently named as the UN’s first Accelerator City for Climate Action in recognition of its superb efforts to rapidly decarbonise the live music, TV and Film production sectors which account for a large part of the city's economy.
To celebrate, there will be a three-night live music series at M&S Bank Arena from 28 – 30 November in collaboration with Massive Attack, ACT 1.5 and SJM concerts that will showcase innovations in sustainability and the smart design of live music events with IDLES, Massive Attack and Nile Rodgers set to play.
Anfield will play host to another set of musical legends, with Bruce Springsteen, Billy Joel and Dua Lipa all performing in 2025.
Kevin McManus, Head of UNESCO City of Music, said: "It's a really exciting time for music across Liverpool City Region. Building on from the success of hosting The Eurovision Song Contest in 2023 to welcoming Taylor Swift to Anfield Stadium and Tom Jones to Salt and Tar in Bootle this summer, Liverpool and the region is the place to be for huge names, up-and-coming artists and world-class events.
“Liverpool in 360 captures the essence of our city’s dynamic music scene, celebrating a legacy that spans decades and musical genres. By bringing some of our emerging artists to iconic locations across Liverpool, this initiative offers audiences a unique, immersive look at our musical offering while shining a spotlight on new talent and innovation.
“It’s an invitation to experience Liverpool’s vibrant culture and rich history in a whole new way—and to see why Liverpool remains a global hub for music lovers everywhere.”
