Trust chief executive Mark Dayvd said the aim was to “create an event that really speaks to the history and the future of one of the UK’s greatest music cities”
A series of gigs to be held alongside Eurovision will showcase Merseyside’s “massively important” grassroots venues, one of the star performers has said.
The United By Music tour will see 20 shows take place in Liverpool and Birkenhead across the week of the song contest in May.
Organisers, the Music Venue Trust (MVT), said the shows, which include sets by Jamie Webster, Lightning Seeds and Miles Kane, would showcase sites that “remain the lifeblood of UK music”.
Lightning Seeds’ Ian Broudie said he also believed such sites were vital to musicians.
“Growing up in Liverpool, I saw so many inspiring artists in Eric’s and playing there myself meant everything to me,” he said.
“I would have had no career without that grounding.
“Grassroots venues really are that important.”
