The trade union organised Left Field stage at Glastonbury
Festival today announced a major event in Liverpool as part
of the City Of Culture celebrations and as a fund-raiser for
Anti-Slavery International.
On Wednesday 14 May Glastonbury’s Left Field will take
over the Liverpool Carling Academy with a showcase of some of
the city’s finest young bands and some very special guests.
Confirmed on the bill are Elle S'Appelle, Married to the Sea,
The Daisy Riots, The Rascals and The Seal Cub Clubbing Club.
As part of a reciprocal arrangement with the City of Culture,
the Left Field stage has agreed that it will showcase the bands
in a special segment at the Glastonbury Festival at the end
of June.
Anti-Slavery International are long-term partners at Glastonbury
Left Field and have been nominated as beneficiaries from the
Liverpool show by Glastonbury organiser Emily Eavis.
Geoff Martin, Left Field Director, said “We are delighted
to have the opportunity to bring a little bit of Glastonbury
to the City of Culture and to take a little bit of Liverpool
back down to Worthy Farm in June.
We hope to raise a decent lump of money to help the important
work of Anti-Slavery International in combating modern day slavery.
It’s going to be a great night.”
Emily Eavis said "Taking Leftfield to Liverpool as
part of the City of Culture celebrations is a really positive
move, particulary as the events proceeds will go the Anti-Slavery
International campaign, and we look forward to seeing some of
these acts back on the farm in june."
