What happened

From a new music heritage trail to a summer packed with live gigs and easy escapes, Liverpool offers a mix of culture, coastline and contemporary energy.

Why it matters

Liverpool’s musical legacy is impossible to ignore, but there’s more going on in the English city and its environs than just a Beatles nostalgia trip.

Common ground

Perspective signals
