Liverpool 2023: Full Eurovision Village lineup announced

Around 100 acts – from pop royalty to future stars, and from community groups to children’s favourites – will take the stage across 9 days, alongside a stellar line up of DJs.

From the 5 to 12 May, Liverpool’s Eurovision Village fan zone is free and non-ticketed, with each day having a different feel.

The opening night on 5 May is all about the Uniting Power of Music, and will see Eurovision Song Contest 2022 winners Kalush Orchestra perform before the incredible Welcome to Eurotopia supergroup who today announce that Alex Moore of The Lathums has joined a line up already bursting with talent.

The Royalty Ball on the 6 May will follow onto stage after a set from Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, which is set to be an epic way to kick off Saturday night.

Sunday 7 is one for the families, as kids favourites Bluey, Hey Duggee, Andy and the Odd Socks, Blue Peter and UK Junior Eurovision entry Freya Skye take over. 

Bank Holiday Monday (8 May) sees the best of Ukraine - Antytila, Go_A, alyona alyona and Jerry Heil perform, before the English National Opera does Eurovision makes Tuesday 9 a day for anyone who needs a dose of sheer joy in their day!

Wednesday 10 is for the alternative heads amongst you, as The Lightning Seeds, Girls Don't Sync, Miles Kane and Michael Aldag perform as part of the United by Music Tour takeover, before Thursday 11 sees an extraordinary musical moment as Jamala performs her new album QIRIM in a world premiere with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. 

Friday 12 is the perfect warm up to the years’ biggest party, as Fleur East joins the all-female line up of Sophie Ellis Bextor and Charlotte Church's Late Night Pop Dungeon.

Alongside these acts, the main stage will also welcome 20 of the performers who will be competing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2023 across the week, giving fans a chance to see many of the hopefuls live for the first time, as well as a stellar lineup of DJ's curated by Melodic Distraction.  

The Grand Final Party on the Pier Head on 13 May has already sold out, and lucky ticket holders will enjoy the build up to the main show, with Claire Richards (from Steps), Jedward’s Epic Eurovision Singalong, The Vengaboys, Katrina from Katrina and the Waves, Brooke and Eurovision super-fan and darling of the dancefloor Motsi Mabuse who will be compering the evening!

Full listings can be found at the Visit Liverpool website and stage timings will be published the day before each show. Apart from the sold out Grand Final screening on the 13 May, the Eurovision Village fan zone is free and non-ticketed. Please be aware that should the village reach capacity, it will operate a one-in-one-out system.

A full list of FAQs can be found on the Visit Liverpool website which advise visitors what they can and can’t bring on site, information about food and drink and a note on seating.
