Visit Liverpool launch ‘Liverpool in 360’ pairing amazing artists with unique locations across the city with Sossa and more


Liverpool in 360  launches ahead of a bumper year of live music, featuring performances from Sosa, Keyside, Ni Maxine, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra’s Equilibrium Quartet

Liverpool, a UNESCO City of Music, has long been celebrated around the globe for its indelible contributions to a wide range of musical genres. That tradition continues as world class artists are captured in unique and historic locations across the city. For further info head to https://www.visitliverpool.com/whats-on/music-events-in-liverpool/.

Liverpool in 360 is designed to tap into the city’s incredible and iconic musical history showcasing a diverse collection of artists across a wide musical spectrum performing  in unusual and unforgettable settings.

The city’s deep-rooted musical heritage continues to inspire and resonate across a truly unique mix of artists and performance spaces. They include 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, all of which prove that Liverpool’s soundscape is one of the most diverse and eclectic in the world. 

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 Liverpool 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.  

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.
