The RLPO will be joined on stage by top names from the Liverpool music scene; Garry Christian of The Christians will sing his poignant ballad Father; Pete Wylie of The Mighty Wah will perform his epic Heart as Big as Liverpool and Jennifer John and Thomas Lang will duet on the anthemic You’ll Never Walk Alone.
Pop legends The Lightning Seeds will be headlining the festival on Sunday 27 August – their first appearance in Liverpool since the millennium. Led by Ian Broudie, the band famous for hits such as ‘Life of Riley’, ‘Pure’, ‘Lucky You’ and ‘Three Lions’, will perform a special one-hour greatest hits gig.
