Liverpool Capital of Culture Tour - Liverpool Summer Festival of Pop 06

Submitted by Hooper on April 14, 2006 - 4:44am. breaks | liverpool tour | pop festivals | vacations

The Liverpool Summer Festival of Pop has grown in to one of Europe’s, if not the world’s biggest annual music events, and attracts music fans from literally every corner of the globe

One of the reasons for this is probably because many groups really want to be a part of this event, simply because of the totally electric atmosphere of performing in this great city

The festival is held at the Big Top close to Liverpool’s Albert Dock pictured, and this year’s festival is quickly growing, with new bands adding to the list of famous names due to perform, the latest being 80’s electronic pop sensation New Order ( I sound a bit like a cheesey DJ from the 80’s there don’t I?)

Okay, so if you fancy the idea of spending a night on one of the world’s most famous water fronts, whilst watching some of the world’s most famous bands, this could be for you

Here’s the line up so far for 2006, and I’ll add any more to this blog as and when I hear about them:
