MusicLiverpool has a rich musical heritage and is officially the World Capital of Pop. This began with The Beatles, and many local attractions commemorate the story of the most successful band of all time. ‘The Beatles Story’ is a brilliant tour through the Beatles lives. There is also the ‘Magical Mystery Tour’, a guided tour that will take you to the most important places associated with the band.
Liverpool is host to many music festivals staged in the city throughout the year, as well as offering classical music at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall courtesy of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. The Liverpool Echo Arena is an award-winning building located alongside the Grade I listed Albert Dock complex and World Heritage Site. It opened in January 2008 and has since played host to a string of international events, including the MTV Europe Music Awards, BBC Sports Personality of the Year and Cirque du Soleil and concert performances.
