Liverpool Music Week founder and director, Mike Deane says:

“We’re also very pleased to announce the first round of this year’s local bands – two of the most exciting breakthrough acts – nationally-prominent Clean Cut Kid and She Drew the Gun, who are both fresh from triumphant and significant Glastonbury weekends, and will each curate their own nights at this year’s LMW.

“As always, LMW will aim to strike balance of highlighting the best and most creative local artists, alongside an inventive programme of the most exciting national & international touring acts all with the backdrop of a mixture of our favourite, most iconic and many underused city spaces.

“Liverpool is buzzing right now, and this announcement is just the tip of the iceberg. It’s set to be a very exciting year.”

The event will take place throughout various venues from 26th October – 5th November, with tickets on sale now.
