The Virgin Red Guide to Liverpool
28 April 2023
Liverpool – a city known for its world-famous pop music heritage, one of football’s most famous stadiums (Liverpool FC’s Anfield), and home to one of the first Virgin Records stores. Next month, this popular seaport city is set to sparkle as it hosts the Eurovision Song Contest on behalf of last year’s winner, Ukraine. The 2023 final takes place on 14 May (the semi-finals are 9 May and 11 May) at the M&S Bank Arena on the Pier Head Waterfront.
Don’t worry if you haven’t managed to snag tickets – the events village at Pier Head will be hosting live show broadcasts as well as loads of themed parties as the city transforms into one giant glitterball. There’s never been a better time to soak up The Pool’s party atmosphere, but whenever you visit the city there are lots of ways to earn and spend points with Virgin Red.
