Liverpool to host EuroFest in run up to Eurovision Song Contest

A two-week cultural festival will take over Liverpool in the run up to this year’s Eurovision Song Contest.

From Monday May 1 to Sunday May 14, the city will play host to EuroFest, featuring 24 commissions - 19 of which are collaborations between UK and Ukrainian artists – and will transform the city as fans from across the world descend on Liverpool. Organisers have now revealed headline plans ahead of the full details being announced later this month.

Among the attractions will be a huge outdoor underwater sea disco which will make its way through the city to kick off the Eurovision party. The Blue and Yellow Submarine Parade by The Kazimier will work with UK and Ukrainian designers, musicians and community groups to bring together hundreds of performers, music and a glitterball jellyfish.
