Liverpool's Concert Square will be transformed to give Eurovision Song Contest fans an unforgettable experience.
The city centre party area will undergo a massive Eurovision transformation to kick off the season. The month of May will see millions of fans head to the city but the hospitality sector is more than ready to accommodate them with two weeks of music and entertainment.
The action officially kicks off on Bank Holiday Sunday, April 30, at 2pm with all of the surrounding bars getting into the spirit for the following two weeks, hosting events which are free to the public.

Tribute act ABBA Forever will ring in Bank Holiday Sunday, April 30, and Bank Holiday Sunday, May 7, performing the Swedish legends' biggest hits. The group amp it up a notch for the Eurovision Grand Final (May 13) which will see them joined by their seven-piece band involving keyboards, guitars and drums.
ABBA Forever is joined by a diverse lineup of local Liverpool vocalists, musicians and DJs performing live each weekend. The square is set to showcase talent from our UNESCO City of Music, including artists who are certainly no strangers to the stage.
Concert Square will accommodate more artists throughout Bank Holiday Sunday, April 30, including The Voice's Holly Ellison who will perform a house music showcase with Ibiza anthems, backed up by a DJ and Live saxophonist. Scouse talent Jenny Christine will join alongside supporting artists Ryan Rooney and Brooke - with soulful grooves from local DJ Jimmy Allen.
Dixie Daye will dominate Bank Holiday Sunday, May 7, with a setlist of anthems spanning house classics to disco-diva hits, supported by X Factor's Kiera Weathers. Gary Barker takes over to offer an equally diverse style for all tastes. DJs Bear Growls and James Morgan will be holding it down for the rest of the evening.
The Eurovision Grand Final (May 13) will see the festivities reach their climax and Concert Square going all out for its final curtain call. Songstress Kayleigh is joined by Shaun Walsh to kick the day off, leading into young talent Rain Castillo who brings fresh vocals and acoustic guitar to the stage, fresh from his run on The Voice.
Setting the tone for the afternoon and evening, Liverpool Disco Fest DJs & Friends will take charge of spinning dance floor-focussed classic hits to build up to ABBA Forever's final performance, backed by their seven-piece band.
A spokesperson from Concert Square said: “We cannot wait to welcome Eurovision to the city. Liverpool lives for big public occasions and our quality entertainment offer that’s announced today should see scores of visitors and locals come together on the square, united by music and enjoying an unforgettable experience at the heart of the city centre."
