RIUVEN 7.00PM

Possibly Liverpool’s favourite scally, the one man Toxteth hip hop riot Riuven makes a triumphant live return. His hit Tha Liv got so popular he ended up playing it on top of St George’s Hall with Ringo Starr (true story) and now he’s here to bombard you with tales of goffs, t birds and drinking in the 051.

You can’t help but smile as they pluck their way through a selection of 80's and 90's classics, in their own special way...

SILENT SLEEP 7.30PM

Indie-folksters Silent Sleep are one of Liverpool’s worst kept secrets. If you aren’t singing ‘Bombed Out Church’ to yourself by the end of the night, well, you’re probably broken.

The band under your bed hit Evil Eye with their insanely catchy brand of monster-infused skife punk. You denitely won’t want to miss this one - get down early before it packs out.

KELLY’S DISPENSARY

Kelly's is a great local boozer where you can relax with a pint or party on the shots, a place where the students and locals mingle with each other and the staff, plenty of entertainment and regular live music.

They will be having an opening party on Saturday night with the incredible Viper Kings, Sunday will see acts on all day ranging from DJs to full bands, and Monday there'll be some laid back tunes and a few market stalls during day and a wee quiz to end it in the evening!

SAT 2nd MAY THE MIGHTY MOJO 7.00PM An enigmatic musical chameleon”. “A walking Jukebox”. “A dodecahedron in a square peg”. These are all quotes that could’ve been used to describe The Mighty Mojo as a Dj. If he’d paid them enough. But he didn’t. Sufce to say while you won’t always be bowled over by his dexterity behind the wheels of steel, the quality of tunes will have you stuck to the danceoor as he breezes through rock, hip hop, electro, reggae, soul, funk, and pretty much everywhere in between.

THE MIGHTY MOJO PRESENTS

THE VIPER KINGS 9.00PM

What happens when you take one part Zutons, one part Coral and four parts rock n roll?

The Viper Kings happen, that’s what.

We'll be welcoming them to Smithdown to get the party going for the weekend as they perform a range of high octane blues and rock'n'roll!

Two of the biggest indie bands of the noughties, right here at Kelly’s. Awesome.

JONES 9.30PM

Liverpool music scene legend Edgar “Summertyme” Jones has been in more successful bands than most people can count on two hands.

TAKOTSUBO MEN 8.00PM

Strap your socks on tight because Takotsubo Men, featuring members of 90's Britrock heroes Cecil, are here to blow them right off. For a three piece they make a huge sound, so dig out your DMs and go bonkers in the mosh pit.... (disclaimer: please don’t go bonkers)
