Hope & Glory Festival has pledged to donate all profits from its Liverpool event to those affected by the Manchester bombing.
The festival is set to take place in St. George’s Quarter on August 5 and 6 with great rock and pop acts set to perform.
It’s been just over a week since a suicide bomber detonated a bomb in the Manchester Arena during an Ariana Grande concert, which resulted in the deaths of 22 people.
Liverpool has shown great support towards Manchester, with murals across the city, while at Sound City, a minutes silence was held on Sunday ahead of The Kooks headline set.
Hope & Glory organisers released a statement on their Facebook page this morning revealing how they plan to contribute towards helping victims and their families.
Festival promoter Lee O’Hanlon said: “I just want us to be able to support the friends and families of those injured or who lost their lives as well as the emergency services that supported them, in any way we could.
“As a North West Festival with two Manchester artists as our headliners, the choice was simple. It’s simply doing what we can, standing with Manchester. The people that commit these atrocities want to change our way of lives.
“I grew up on the music of the North West. These people are strong and if we can help them a little then we will.”
Topping the bill for the festival’s debut are Manchester legends James and the Hacienda Classical with Shaun Ryder of the Happy Mondays.
As well as a stunning line-up, there will be plenty of entertainment taking place, including a football legends charity dart match and the International Air Guitar Competition.
Tickets are on sale now and all funds raised from ticket sales go towards helping the families and friends affected by the attack in Manchester.
