What's on in Liverpool This Weekend

As Friday evening arrives and the weekend unfolds, you might be considering what's on in Liverpool. This weekend focuses on live music, with various ways to enjoy sound and artistry.

You can anticipate evenings dedicated to music. This weekend presents opportunities to experience diverse musical expressions, from intimate showcases, perhaps at the Bluecoat, to larger concerts bringing contemporary sounds to a broader audience. Consider a performance at the Philharmonic Hall, or explore options closer to Mathew Street, where the city’s musical foundations are still evident. For those who appreciate foundational music, you may also find performances revisiting classic sounds delivered by artists who honour influential musical periods, some with ties to the city’s celebrated past. Venues around Albert Dock and the waterfront often host such events.

You have the option to immerse yourself in vocal performances and instrumental arrangements throughout the coming days. Whether your preference is for established performers or artists presenting fresh material, you’ll find opportunities to spend your time with live music as a central element. This allows you to tailor your weekend around acoustic and amplified experiences, choosing the atmosphere that best suits your inclinations. Transport links via Merseyrail and bus services from Queen Square bus station and Liverpool One bus station will make accessing venues straightforward, though congestion on Princes Road and limited parking in the centre should be considered.

Check listings below for times and venues. You may also find smaller, independent gigs occurring in venues across the Georgian Quarter or near the university areas.
