Try to imagine the very best bands, combined with a decadent Victoriana carnival, with a heavy dose of outrageous sideshows, and you’ll begin to get a picture of what HOPE & GLORY festival is.

This brand new festival for Liverpool, taking place on 5th & 6th August, is set against the stunning Victorian backdrop of the World Museum, City Library and St. George’s Hall and Gardens.

With weekend tickets priced at just £89 (inclusive of booking fee), you can expect a glorious mix of incredible music, comedy and fun – all within a few hundred yards of Lime Street station.

The main stage music for the weekend will be on The Great Exhibition stage. The second stage will deliver different delights across the weekend and will be called The Wonders Of The Age stage on the Saturday and The Wonders of the Age stage on Sunday.

Hope & Glory is a riotous celebration of live music in the immediate shadow of one of Liverpool’s most renowned landmarks, St George’s Hall.

James, Ocean Colour Scene, Razorlight and local heroes The Lightning Seeds all perform at the inaugural edition of the festival, alongside a very special Hacienda Classical performance from Shaun Ryder and Bez of Happy Mondays.

The music line up accompanies a Victorian carnival complete with a litany of sideshow attractions for an exotic, family friendly show that will be stylish yet subversive – think Charles Darwin meets Tim Burton.

Football legends playing darts for charity, Charlotte Church with a late night pop dungeon and a spoken word arena set in opulent gardens are just a few of the standout attractions.

The event takes place on Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th August, with Hope & Glory tickets
