James, The Coral and Red Rum Club will be performing at the finale of Liverpool's On the Waterfront festival this summer.
The event will return to the Pier Head with four days of gigs, following on from the festival's triumphant debut in 2021 which saw more than 40,000 people attend the event. This year's finale show will see a trio of Northern bands take to the stage, with the Three Graces and River Mersey as a backdrop.
Popular Liverpool band The Coral emerged in the early 2000s and have since gone on to achieve five UK top 10 albums and eight top 40 singles, including 'Dreaming of You', 'Pass It On' and 'In The Morning'. Another Liverpool band joining the line-up is Red Rum Club, who have amassed a loyal fanbase over recent years and have sold out numerous venues nationwide.
