Three reasons you should go to Fusion Festival this weekend

Fusion Festival is bringing some of the biggest names in pop to the Liverpool Waterfront this weekend and we are running down three reasons why you should be there

1.It’s family (and funds) friendly!

The local area has no shortage of local festivals for fun- loving festival goers to hit but Fusion Festival is expected to be very family friendly! Running from 1pm – 10pm, you can have the little ones tucked up in bed not too late whilst letting them have fun in the sun during the festival whilst seeing some of their favourite stars. There is a very special ticket offer available here with day tickets at just £29 with children under 5 being admitted completely free!

2. Fusion Festival are bringing an exclusive to the city

And not just any exclusive, an Olly Murs exclusive! In an exclusive headline festival performance, Olly Murs and his band will close the show on Sunday night of the festical with a breathtaking 90 minute show featuring all his classic hits. Speaking ahead of the festival Olly said: “This is going to get crazy, Fusion Festival! I cannot wait to get out on that stage and get everybody moving. It’s going to be a send off to remember, you better be there!”

3. Global superstars will be taking to the Otterspool stage

As if a full 90 minutes of Olly Murs wasn’t enough for you a whole host of global superstars will be taking to the stage over the weekend. Serial chart-topper Jason Derulo will headline Day One, along with Tinie Tempah, Labrinth, Craig David, Sigala, Fleur East and Krept & Konan. On Sunday the 4th of September an exclusive festival headline 90-minute performance from Olly Murs will bring the two day event to a close. Also performing on Sunday are Busted, The Vamps, Nathan Sykes, Lawson, Ella Henderson and Jamie Lawson.

Fusion Festival has also teamed up with Liverpool’s number one hit music station, 107.6 Capital FM, continuing its long-term partnership with Global Radio to bring music fans the most exciting festival line up of the summer on the banks of the River Mersey.

Now in its 4th year, Fusion has grown into one of the UK’s most popular music festivals. The move to Liverpool coincides with the city being declared a UNESCO City of Music due to music’s place at the heart of Liverpool’s contemporary culture, education and the economy.

Liverpool has a rich music heritage and the team at Fusion Festival are excited to become a part of that. Damien Sanders, Event Director of Fusion Festival said “It’s great to reveal such an incredible line up with a few more surprises still to come. We have such a strong list of performers again this year and I’m particularly looking forward to seeing Olly Murs 90 minute headline spectacular on the Sunday night, it will be a great way to wrap up the weekend and introduce Fusion to Liverpool.”
