Above The Beaten Track is a festival celebrating the creative grass roots scene of Liverpool, featuringlive music and DJs, performance art, poetry and audio-visual spectaculars – shedding a bit of light on Liverpool’s cultural underground, all in a relaxed festival-like atmosphere.
Moving to a new home at The Bluecoat for our third annual event, Above The Beaten Track’s heart and soul are beatingstronger than ever.
Our philosophy is all about inclusion, not only giving a platform for the oft maligned marginal grass roots musicians of our fair city but letting our friends and partners have a hand in running the festival.
In addition to the usual Mellowtone and Beaten Tracks offerings, this year we have stages being hosted by Liverpool Acoustic, Lazy Genius, Bagism and Culturepool will be returning onceagain to add their birthday festivities to our little soiree.
Draw The Line, the social art event specialists make a welcome return also, along with newcomers from Loaca.
Art and the Bluecoattraders. The restaurant upstairs will be serving food and drink all day, and let’s not forget our BBQ either – join us in the courtyard for some festival flavours in between stages.
We welcome back musical friends old and new this year – Irish whirlwind Atlantic Massey,psychedelic darlings The Wicked Whispers, indie folk upstarts Misery Guts and our favourite Nordic siren Ragz, plus a whole lot more.
Our Beaten Tracks DJ team have been busy too, scouring the cityto gather up a raggle-taggle bunch of the city’s finest spinners of vinyl old and new – expect a wide range of quality tunes from the hands at the helm of the old 1-2’s.
All in all, we like to have a party. The sort of party that we’d like to go to. With our friends, music that we all love, films, art, food and drink. So here it is, the return of Above The Beaten Track.
THE BLUECOAT, SCHOOL LANE, LIVERPOOL.
