Kasabian will headline this year’s Liverpool Music Week, a series of gigs taking place across Liverpool in November. The band top the bill at the Liverpool Echo Arena on November 16th, while The Enemy play Liverpool Uni on the 8th and Reverend & The Makers perform at The Nation, Courtyard on the 7th. Liverpool Music Week began in 2003, and last year over 80 events were organised, with over 300 gigs being performed to 55,000 people.
Speaking about the event, director James Barton said: “Liverpool Music Week has gone from strength to strength over the last 7 years and attracted some of the UK’s biggest acts, this year we’ve secured Kasabian our biggest headliner to date, attracting a band of this stature proves just how far the festival has come.”

Fellow director Mike Deane also spoke of the growing reputation of the event: “It was always going to be a difficult task to better the amazing year we had in 2008, and we’ve worked extremely hard since the start of the year to ensure the festival is once again bigger and better. This is just the first of several big announcements for Liverpool Music Week 2009.”
