City gets set for Liverpool Music Week 2010

The UK's biggest indoor winter music festival Liverpool Music Week starts 29th October and this year sees a cutting edge line-up of artists perform at venues across the city.

This year’s event will feature performances from the likes of Leftfield, Efterklang, Chase & Status, Dan Le Sac vs. Scroobius Pip, Warpaint, Hadouken, Beardyman, K'naan and !!! Chk Chk Chk who will perform their first Liverpool show in over 7 years on 31st October.

2009 attracted 65,000 people to the city and has recently been shortlisted in the Best UK Metropolitan Festival category at the UK Festival Awards. The multi-venue event, which began in 2003, offers a combination of free and ticketed shows for music fans.

The free music agenda has always been an integral part of the festival's blueprint, and this year audiences will also be able to get the chance to see exciting new acts such as Sleigh Bells, Field Music, Egyptian Hip Hop, Chapel Club, and Los Campesinos!

Also performing is former Rascal and Last Shadow Puppet Miles Kane who will make his Liverpool solo debut on Thursday 11th November. Another highlight of the free show agenda comes from one of Liverpool Music Week's favourite sons. John Power will return with Cast to play in the performance space at BBC Radio Merseyside.

John has a special affiliation with the festival since his legendary show back in 2005 where he was joined on stage with the La's bandmate Lee Mavers. This unique performance from Cast, especially for LMW, will precede their full UK tour including 3 sold-out o2 Academy Liverpool dates later in the month.

You can access more information on these shows by checking the festival Facebook page at www.facebook.com/liverpoolmusicweek. Organisers will make announcements on how to guarantee entry to free events via the Facebook page.
