URGENT UPDATE: Liverpool City Council leader Cllr Liam Robinson has just announced a “major event” is set to take place in the city in 2027, sparking excitement among residents and event-goers alike. The official announcement is expected early in the new year, promising thrilling developments for the vibrant city.
Reflecting on the city’s recent successes, Cllr Robinson stated, “Exciting times are ahead.” Liverpool has gained international attention through events like the Eurovision competition in 2023, the River of Light festival, and the opening of the Hill Dickinson Stadium, home of Everton FC. The council leader emphasized the city’s ambition to remain a top destination for major events worldwide.
While details about the 2027 event remain under wraps—Cllr Robinson admitted he is “sworn to secrecy”—he did highlight ongoing plans for a festival surrounding the five Euro 2028 games to be hosted at the stadium. This festival aims to enhance the city’s profile as a leading event location.
Liverpool is also eyeing future opportunities, having submitted bids to host the 2030 Artistic Gymnastics Championships and being part of the bid for the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2035. Cllr Robinson remarked, “Our ambition is to continue to be one of the leading cities in the world for hosting major events.”
In the face of challenges, Cllr Robinson recently expressed determination regarding plans for the development of a new town in northern Liverpool, despite a lack of government support. “We’re going to do it anyway,” he affirmed, indicating that the city is prepared to move forward independently to address significant housing needs.
The council leader is optimistic about utilizing the city’s brownfield sites for housing developments, aiming to alleviate the pressure on greenbelt areas. “We want to move at pace,” he stated, outlining plans to roll out projects over the next 10 to 20 years.
As Liverpool gears up for these monumental events, the city is set to maintain its momentum as a key player on the global stage. Residents and visitors alike are encouraged to stay tuned for the upcoming announcement, which promises to be a game-changer for Liverpool’s event landscape.
With the potential for transformative experiences on the horizon, the city is poised to captivate audiences and reaffirm its status as a world-class destination for major events.
