One of the UK’s biggest rock acts, Catfish & The Bottlemen, has announced its biggest ever headline show in the UK, set to take place later this summer at Liverpool’s Sefton Park. The gig is expected to attract up to 32,000 fans, making it the largest outdoor concert ever held in the city of Liverpool. This comes after the band released its comeback single ‘Showtime’ and announced a series of UK headlining dates.
The performance, which takes place on Thursday, July 11, is seen as the band reaching new heights in its career, having won a Brit Award in 2016 and released three albums thus far. The fourth Catfish & The Bottlemen album is expected to be released soon, and ‘Showtime’ is the first single to be released from it.
The concert is the band’s first show since it headlined the Reading & Leeds festivals in 2019 and takes place shortly before the band’s three open-air shows in Cardiff and Edinburgh, and a headline slot at the Reading & Leeds festivals later this summer. Details of additional acts to appear at the Sefton Park concert are expected to be announced in the near future.
Tickets for the show go on sale this Friday (April 19) at 10am, with preliminary sales taking place earlier in the week.
