We want more pop
The festival was nothing short of a smash-hit, and over the week around 100 performers and tens of thousands of fans transformed the Pier Head and perhaps reminded the city what it was capable of. It could easily top the list of biggest events the city has hosted since our success as Capital of Culture in 2008.
Diana Ross, Sir Elton John, ZZ Top, Paul Simon and Julio Iglesias are just some of the names the festival once hosted on the Kings Dock, where the M&S Bank Arena now stands. Peter Kay also once packed the tent for five nights in a record-breaking sell out run. We also had the Mathew Street Festival which started as a one-off weekend but became an annual music festival welcoming up to 350,000 people in its heyday. In August 1993 the company behind the annual Beatles Convention held a bank holiday party expecting only a few thousand, but ended up welcoming 20,000 people - and the festival was born.
