Baltic Triangle to host all-day music festival

An all-day music festival is coming to Liverpool’s Baltic Triangle.

Frogfest takes place at District on Saturday, August 16 with 12 hours of the best alternative live bands from across Europe alongside burgeoning local talent.

The exciting new concept delivers an extraordinary line-up of artists from Belgium, France, Belarus and Italy sharing the stage with emerging acts from the North West.

Frogfest stays true to the original Moonfrog vision: to bridge Liverpool’s thriving alternative community with the most exciting corners of the European underground.

This groundbreaking event promises to push that mission even further, blending coldwave, post-punk, synth-driven electronica and more into one electrifying celebration.

On the bill for 2025 are Ultra Sunn, Dlina Volny, Sad Madona, Horror Vacui, V, Liminal Project, Material Goods, Empty Page, Thirst, and Grimm Sister — a mix of established underground favourites and fresh new voices destined to make an impact.

With its bold, international lineup and uncompromising ethos, Frogfest 2025 is more than a gig — it’s a cultural exchange, a showcase of the DIY spirit and a celebration of the shared language of music. Expect a day filled with EBM, post-punk, darkwave, coldwave, and experimental sounds that will take you on an unforgettable sonic journey.

Taking place at the legendary 275-capacity District venue in Liverpool’s underground arts area – the Baltic Triangle, this one-day festival will be vibrant yet intimate – showcasing underground artists pushing the boundaries of alternative music.
