Mathew Street Festival 2006
Aug 18, 2006 at 07:05 PM
Mathew Street Music Festival is now the largest free annual music event in Europe.
Since it's conception in 1993, the Mathew Street Festival has grown in popularity year on year.
In 2006 you can look forward to four days of live music, with over 75 bands performing on five stages across the city, in celebration of the 2006 Capital of Culture year - Liverpool Performs.
More than 40 indoor venues will also be hosting free live music throughout the weekend.
With rock and pop talent, from the established to the emerging, young Liverpool bands to global legends, this year's Mathew Street Music Festival is set to be an unforgettable bank holiday weekend.
It all starts on Friday 25 August at 7.30pm with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra plus a host of famous name guests opening the festival for the first time.
Led by the RLPO's new principal conductor, Vasily Petrenko this sensational programme will feature classic music gems including Shostakovich's Festival Overture and March and Football from Russian River; Jupiter from Holst's Planet Suite, Rossini's William Tell Overture, Strauss's Radetsky, and The Great Gate of Kiev from Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition.
The RLPO will also be joined on stage by top names from the Liverpool music scene; Garry Christian of The Christians will sing his poignant ballad Father; Pete Wylie of The Mighty Wah will perform his epic Heart as Big as Liverpool and Jennifer John and Thomas Lang will duet on the anthemic You'll Never Walk Alone.
Pop legends The Lightning Seeds will be headlining the festival on Sunday 27 August - their first appearance in Liverpool since the millennium.
Led by Ian Broudie, the band famous for hits such as 'Life of Riley', 'Pure', 'Lucky You' and 'Three Lions', will perform a special one-hour greatest hits gig.
And from Saturday to Monday don't miss the home grown talent on a dedicated new band stage at the Pier Head which will feature 31 new or unsigned Liverpool bands.
The first hour on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to midday, will be dedicated to the winners of an X-factor style music competition called Streetwaves, held across the city's seven neighbourhoods.
