It must be that time of year. Yes, yet more festival announcements. This time for a brand new festival at Knowsley Hall in Liverpool, brought to you by the chaps from Creamfields and Rockness and the production team behind Bestival and Freedom Rocks. Organisers have announced that The Who and Keane will headline the new event, which will take place on 23 and 24 Jun, supported by the likes of The Coral, The View, and The Zutons.
Cream's James Barton says: "This city has an amazing musical heritage and I know how important it is to the people of Liverpool that tradition is preserved especially as we move ever closer to The Capital Of Culture year. As a company we are totally committed to playing our part by providing events that continue that proud tradition, but by also providing events that people will be excited by. Building on the success that Cream & Creamfields has achieved I am proud to announce this new show and hope that the people of Liverpool will show their support and enjoy what we know will be a great weekend of music."
