LIVERPOOL HOSTS THE FIRST GREEN MUSIC FESTIVAL!

A host of talent from the folk/rock scene is set to descend on Liverpool as it gears up for the city’s first eco-friendly music festival.

Livefest is due to take the city by storm this August when a host of acts including Alabama 3, Hayseed Dixie and Shack will arrive to perform at the one-day event to be held at Liverpool Cricket ground in Aigburth

10,000 people are expected to attend the first festival of its kind in Liverpool. Festival director, Tony Rothwell comments: “Livefest has been in the planning stages for some time, we have been very busy making sure the event is as green as it can be and of course, choosing the right acts for a landmark festival as this.”

Not only will all waste from the event be recycled by Unison, but festival goers are being encouraged to use the special public transport links created with the help of Merseytravel, as well as strongly advocating car-sharing if travelling in your own vehicle.

As well as sporting a green theme, Livefest is also providing local talent with a platform to showcase their material. Performances from Jade Gallagher, local folk band the Diesel Fitters and The Fountains will grace the secondary stage at this year’s event.

Livefest will take place on Saturday 11th August 2007 at Liverpool Cricket ground. Visit link or link for more information on the festival. Keep checking for information on the line-up, which is being added to daily.
