Smooth Radio plans third summer concert

Smooth Radio is returning to Liverpool for another free listener concert dubbed Love Live Music on the Waterfront.

The event, taking place on June 8th, follows last year’s gig which saw 20,000 people turn up at the free but ticket-based event hosted by Smooth Radio presenters.

Artists including Nell Bryden, Jack Savoretti and Leddra Chapman will be appearing at the event with more to be announced.

Real and Smooth’s Group Programme Director John Simons said: “Last year’s Love Live Music On The Waterfront was such an overwhelming success, we just had to return to Liverpool to do it again.

“At Smooth Radio we pride ourselves on the calibre of artists we can bring to our listeners in our regular Love Live Music events, with Deacon Blue, The Overtones, Russell Watson and Will Young all performing for us over the last year. This however, is set to be our biggest yet and will give thousands of people the chance to see some of Smooth Radio’s favourite artists performing live and for free.”

Liverpool City Council’s Cabinet Member for culture and tourism, Councillor Wendy Simon, said, “We’re delighted this musical extravaganza is returning to our stunning waterfront once again.

“It was hugely successful last year with thousands of music lovers making the most of the free live music in the unbeatable surroundings of our World Heritage Site.

“I’m sure it will once again attract tens of thousands of people to enjoy an evening of great music performed by a whole host of credible artists.”
