Alongside these events, Music Venue Trust and National Lottery will be celebrating the very best new acts the city has to offer, at venues including Meraki, E.B.G.B.S and the Kazimier, with the aim of providing a whole week of music that is uniquely Liverpool, one of the world's leading music cities.

Every National Lottery ticket-holder will be invited to bring a “plus one” for free - all they need to do to qualify for this offer is to bring any National Lottery product when they attend the gig. Tickets are available on a 2-for-1 basis to National Lottery players.

Tickets for The National Lottery’s United by Music Tour of Liverpool go on sale on April 27 from 6pm. You can grab them here.
