Kings Dock forms a key part of the city skyline and much of its transformation can be owed to a gig held in the summer of 2003.
After decades of seeing Liverpool’s port decline, Kings Dock and neighbouring Albert Dock were left derelict. The Albert Dock was eventually saved and successfully regenerated by the end of the 1980s but Kings Dock remained surrounded by vast open space.
For many years the land was used as a car park for people visiting the city centre. It also proved handy for pitching up the iconic tent for Liverpool’s loved but now lost Summer Pops concerts.
