Festival And Events

The Mathew street Festival is an event organized in the city center of Liverpool basically in the street with the same name. It is a common area of enjoy and party with a lot of pubs within thesame street.
The huge development and influx of people who every single year come to Liverpool to assist to Mathew Street festival made the organization looking for other locations outside thecity, the organization keeping the same idea of the Mathew street festival but in outdoor places.
Development
The new locations are the Pier Head and Sefton Park which are two very beautifulplaces close to the city center and with enough facilities to organize an event with this magnitude.
Two outdoor stages located at the Pier Head which will include a tribute to the Beatles andtheir musical legacy. Programmed by Mathew Street Music Festival Directors Bill Heckle and Dave Jones, it will be a mixture of cover acts and original artists.
The other location is Sefton Parkfor an evening of live music in the stunning surroundings of one of the city’s most popular green spaces. The opening of the festival is the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and chiefconductor Vasily Petrenko taking to a brand new stage in Sefton Park for an evening of live music in the park.

Social aspects
The citizens of Liverpool and overall the people who lives close toMathew street appreciate the new format and the new location of the event.

The idea of moving the Mathew street Festival outside the city center is basically focus the festival more in themusic and with the intention to take out the street the noise, traffic, rubbish, and the problems caused by the people and their excess with the alcohol. These collateral damages plus the expectedsavings in the budget for this year (which is more than the 40% from 2012) make that the mythical Mathew Street Festival will be replace and rename by International Liverpool music Festival....
