People who bought wristbands for Liverpool’s Mathew Street Music Festival are being urged not to bin them – as they can also be used for the upcoming River Festival.
Thousands of the £3 ‘Band Together’ wrist bands were sold, giving access to special offers and discounts from retailers, restaurants, bars and attractions across Liverpool.
Now the city council has secured a deal which extends the offers over the River Festival – On The Waterfront, which is taking place from 8 – 15 September.
Anyone who wants to show their support can still purchase a wrist band from The 08 Place on Whitechapel, Merseytravel Travel Centres and the Liverpool One Information desk.

Councillor Wendy Simon, Liverpool City Council’s cabinet member for culture and tourism, said: “The wristbands have proved hugely popular and by extending this deal it means people attending the Mersey River Festival can save money on eating out and shopping while they are in the city.
