Africa Oyé, the North West’s biggest live festival featuring African and Caribbean music, hits Sefton Park this weekend and promises to be bigger and better than ever.
Originating from a series of small gigs with Liverpool in 1992, this year heralds its 20th anniversary.
The free annual event which attracted over 50,000 people last year, celebrates African and Caribbean culture with much more than live music, over 40 stalls will be offering traditional food and drink from the continent as well as craft stalls and fashion.
Set in Sefton Park, the festival is proud to remain free and the line-up features Brinsley Forde and The Rasites.
Eat Your Greens presents The Dub Pistols at the Official Africa Oyé After Party at the Picket night-club.
