Mathew Street festival
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mathew Street festival in Liverpool, England is the largest free annual music event in Europe. Pop, rock and more, is played on several stages at once. This Festival has become so well-known, people even fly in from Japan to see it.
It all started around 15 years ago, with a few tribute bands to The Beatles. Now, many bands, some from over the world play at this festival.
The involvement and investment by Liverpool Culture Company has seen the introduction of original artists as well, such as Tony Christie, The Stranglers, The Christians, Shack, The Proclaimers and The Buzzcocks. There has also been an unsigned band stage to give the opportunity to local bands to showcase their talents.
