Food Aid Liverpool will feature a number of the UK’s best tribute artists
A music festival dedicated to raising money and food donations for those struggling with the rising cost of living is coming to Liverpool.
As the cost of living continues to rise, it is estimated that one in three people are now cutting back on heating, hot water, electricity or skipping meals to pay their bills - and Liverpool’s independent food spaces are beyond capacity and in need of funds. The Florrie in Toxteth has partnered with Feeding Liverpool and a number of venues across the city to host Food Aid Liverpool.
The festival will take place on Saturday, April 1, 2023 and will feature a number of the UK’s best tribute artists such as Queen II, Ultimate Coldplay, The Cavern Club Beatles, Arctic Roll, Katy Ellis - Taylor Swift, Spice Girls Experience, LMXT - Little Mix and more.Food Aid Liverpool aims to raise urgent funds and food donations to support access to and the take-up of healthy food, and to create greater awareness about the rise in food inequalities.
Laurence Fenlon from The Florrie said: “The moment we had to turn people away, as we could no longer cope with demand, we knew something urgent had to be done to help the people and families of our communities. We quickly realised this wasn’t just our issue but the entire city’s, which urged us to create Food Aid Liverpool to hopefully end food poverty in our city and raise urgent funds through the festival.
Tickets for Food Aid Liverpool go on sale this Friday, November 4 at 9am. You can pick them up here . Find out how you can further support Food Aid Liverpool and get involved by visiting www.foodaidliverpool.co.uk .
